Ekiti Guber: Monarch warns subject against supporting Fayose
The Onijan of Ijan Ekiti, Oba Samuel Fadahunsi, and his chiefs have warned youths of the town against supporting former Governor Ayo Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the June 21 governorship election.
The monarch and his chief gave the warning in a statement issued and made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Sunday.
The monarch who was reacting to the endorsement of the former governor by some youths within the town said that such endorsement was an insult on the entire people of the town.
The statement warned PDP youths in the town against endorsing Fayose on behalf of the entire people of the town saying the people of the town would not tolerate such desperate act from anybody.
Part of the statement read: “There is no way Ijan people would support Fayose on the account of the humiliation melted to the Onijan and his planned dethronement.
We will encourage the youths and other PDP members to follow their hearts in their political choice. The PDP still have time to pick another candidate other than Fayose if they want Ijan-Ekiti people to support their party.”
The monarch and other leaders in the town according to information had agreed that no politician should endorse Fayose until the mysteries surrounding the brutal killing of former World Bank Consultant, Dr. Ayodeji Daramola, is settled.
Daramola was a PDP governorship aspirant in the state when he was killed at his residence on August 14, 2006 by some gunmen.
