Madam Governor Should Please Tackle Insecurity in Ekiti: “Mrs Fayemi is the “Ekiti sitting governor” and her husband is the “diaspora and traveling governor”
A group in Ekiti State, the Ekiti Democratic Coalition (EDC) has
appealed to Wife of the State Governor, Mrs Bisi Fayemi to save
residents of the State from kidnappers, who have turned most parts of
the State to their operational base.
The group said it was directing its plea to Governor Kayode Fayemi’s
wife because it has become obvious that she is the one in charge of
government, and not her husband.
In a release issued on Monday and signed by its Coordinator, Comrade
Ogunlola Olatunde, EDC said just the way she singlehandedly picked a
governorship candidate for the APC, Fayemi’s wife should solve the
insecurity problem in Ekiti too.
The group, which noted that Mrs Fayemi is the “Ekiti sitting governor”
and her husband is the “diaspora and traveling governor” said Mrs
Fayemi should have mercy on residents of Ekiti State that are being
kidnapped and killed daily by bandits.
It said just yesterday, a staunch member of APC, a former Chairman of
Ilejemeje Local Government, Omooba Bamidele Adegoroye was kidnapped
alongside one of his boys along Iludun – Isan Ekiti road.
Also last week, two people were killed along Orin/Ora – Ido Ekiti road
with many others abducted.
Lamenting the government’s nonchalant attitude to insecurity in the
State, EDC said it was strange that bandits have taken over the roads
to Fayemi’s hometown Isan Ekiti, Itapaji/Iyemero axis in Ikole Local
Government and Orin/Ora/Ido Ekiti and Ewu/Ayetoro Ekiti axis in
Ido/Osi Local Government as well as other areas.
As a matter of fact, since this administration began in 2018, hardly
does a month go by without reports of people being abducted. We are
begging our “Madam Governor” to please, do something.
