APC Is Planning A Coup In Ekiti – Fayose

Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused members of the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) of plotting a coup in Ekiti state through a jumbled impeachment process.

According to Vanguard, the Ekiti state governor maintained that in-spite of his efforts to pursue genuine reconciliation with the members of the opposition party, they were still bent on high- jacking power from him by all means.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service organised for him at the Cathedral Church of Emmanuel, Anglican Communion, Ado Ekiti, Fayose said his mandate was from of God, noting that only God could remove him from power.

He said: “I’m enjoying the mandate of God through his people and that cannot be controverted. My sin is because I allowed the common man to breathe the air of hope.

“The people have spoken (governorship election), they said it was military intervention. They spoke the second term (presidential election), is that one photochromic? And they spoke again the third time (House of Assembly election).

“If God that gave me victory cannot defend me, I better go home. If the people cannot defend the mandate they gave to me, I better go home. Power doesn’t come from man. Power belongs to God. Anyone against the voice of God is following Satan’s way.

“In a democracy, you need a simple majority to win elections, but I enjoy total majority. They want to take government by force, firing shots at people; that is coup against the people. They said they are coming again tomorrow, we are waiting for them.”

Last week, the Supreme Court affirmed Ayodele Fayose as the duly elected governor of Ekiti State in the June 21, 2014 election.

The apex court upheld the earlier decisions of the Court of Appeal and the Ekiti State Governorship Election Tribunal, which had both earlier ruled that the petition challenging Fayose’s victory lacked merit. The Supreme Court’s ruling has however not doused the political tension in Ekiti state.
