Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomhole has
taken a swipe at Governor Fayose of Ekiti
state.
PM News reports that Edo state governor, Comrade
Adams Oshiomhole, in a statement by his Chief
Press Secretary, Mr Peter Okhiria, said:
"We find it utterly laughable and as the height of
political childishness for the Ekiti State Governor to
hide behind his media aides and seek to drag the
name of the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole, into his crude gangster tactics which
he has re-introduced into Ekiti politics less than two
months after assuming office.
"If the Ekiti governor is too lazy to read and too
politically illiterate to know what is happening in
Edo State House of Assembly, we expected his
psychedelic media aides to simply shut their loud
mouths rather than behave like capering neophytes.
"For the purpose of education, the Ekiti Governor
and his media aides should be informed that there
is no crisis in Edo State House of Assembly. Fifteen
members of the 24-member Assembly are members
of the All Progressives Congress, while nine are
members of the opposition PDP. Of the nine PDP
members, three are on suspension while the seat of
one member has been declared vacant. So,
effectively, the PDP has five members in the Edo
State House of Assembly.
"Even a kindergarten knows that 15 is greater than
five. So if five PDP members decide to sit with three
suspended members and another whose seat was
declared vacant in a chamber which is undergoing
renovation, then we can at best regard that as the
height of crass legislative irresponsibility.
"It is ridiculous to even contemplate that the Ekiti
Governor and his media aides do not know that 15 is
greater than five! For sure, they seem engrossed
with their stomach infrastructure mantra, such a
dubious contraption which can only be contrived by
an ideologically clueless and gluttonous
administration.
"But for the kind of democracy we practice in
Nigeria, where the PDP promotes and condones all
manners of illegalities, inanities and shenanigans
which have become the second nature of that party,
Ayodele Fayose would have been cooling off his
heels in gaol rather than brandishing the appellation
of being a Governor.
"We are thoroughly ashamed that Ekiti, hitherto
known as the 'Fountain of Knowledge', is being
reduced to a mindless bubble by a man running her
affairs without a discernible direction like a
drowning man clutching desperately at flotsam.
"We advise Fayose to restrict his gung-ho area boy
tactics to Ekiti state and stop dropping the name of
Governor Adams Oshiomhole to shore up his jaded
image.
"Governance comes with decorum, respect and
responsibility. If Ekiti people with all their avowed
sophistication and intellectuality have elected to
present a political rascal as their number one
citizen, so be it; but they must understand that
there is a huge difference between character and
infamy."
