the All
Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has advised Governor Ayodele Fayose
to stop attacking the nation’s judiciary, warning him against contempt
of court.
Olatubosun said, “We had already raised the alarm that Ekiti State PDP had been sewing fake military uniforms for thugs to impersonate soldiers during the coming elections to help its candidates win.
The party
while reacting to Fayose’s diatribe against the judiciary on its ruling
that barred the President from deploying the military for election, said
the Governor was uncomfortable because he had plans to use fake
soldiers.
The APC
Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, in a statement on Thursday said
the governor’s utterances smacked off contempt of court and brazen
attempt to blackmail the judges in the course of performing their legal
duties.
He described the Governor’s attack on
the judges as a continuation of his assault on the judiciary when he
“led thugs to attack the judges of the Ekiti State High Court, tore
their cloths and tore court records in the Chief Judge’s office while
the CJ’s secretary was beaten.”Olatubosun said, “We had already raised the alarm that Ekiti State PDP had been sewing fake military uniforms for thugs to impersonate soldiers during the coming elections to help its candidates win.
“The
courts rulings are deep blows to that fraud. These thugs are already
being housed in Adesua Lodge of the Government House where they take off
everyday to attack opponents and destroy their posters.
“We have always insisted that Fayose
can never survive in any system where the law works. He does not believe
in law in doing anything.
“How can a
Federal High Court in Jos and the nation’s Appeal Court make a
pronouncement on same subject banning the Federal Government from
deploying soldiers for elections and it now becomes the lot of only
Fayose among the nation’s politicians to raise objection and castigating
the judges?”
Olatubosun
added that the governor’s actions so far did not portray him as a
leader ready to work within approved standard of the law and civilised
conduct.
