President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday called on
the President Elect, Mohammadu Buahri to caution
his members in All
Progressives Congress in Ekiti state. He did not do this direct but a cabinet
member did.
Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye,
who appears speaking the mind of Jonathan has asked the President-elect, Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) to caution the All Progressives Congress members
in Ekiti State lest they truncate democracy in the country.
The minister, who described the APC desperation
to seize power in Ekiti State through the backdoor as a dangerous trend, added
that the APC members in the state House of Assembly had been capitalising on
Buhari’s victory in the March 28 poll to cause crisis in the state.
Adeyeye said in a statement on Tuesday that the
APC should stop behaving like a party of bad losers.
He said, “In 1999, Prof. Tunde Adeniran of the
PDP lost to Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Adeniran congratulated the winner. He did not
go to court. It was in 2003 that Adebayo lost to Governor Ayodele Fayose that
they went to the tribunal.
“Also, when Segun Oni won the election in 2007,
these same APC people made Ekiti ungovernable for him.
“In 2011 when Fayose contested senatorial
election and lost to Senator Babafemi Ojudu, he did not go to court. None of
the PDP National Assembly candidates that lost in 2011 went to court.
“Since they lost the governorship to the PDP nine
months ago, they have refused to accept defeat. It was as a result of this
desperation to steal Ekiti people’s mandate that Chief Omolafe Aderiye was
killed.
“Today (Tuesday) again, they killed Modupe
Temitope Olaiya in Efon-Alaaye and one wonders why these APC people derive joy
in shedding blood of innocent Ekiti sons and daughters. Why must there be
crisis in Ekiti each time the APC elements lose power to the PDP?”
“General Buhari must not let these desperate APC
members in Ekiti State drag his name and reputation in the mud by using his
name to cause chaos in Ekiti,”the minister added.
