It is no longer news that Mr Ayodele
Peter Fayose has returned to Ekiti State’s political consciousness, it is not
news any more that he is governor-in-waiting to be sworn in by next month,
October 2014. Fayose
might have won the last gubernatorial election by fate or
false but what the citizens of Ekiti should prepare for is his way of life
which they thought he has changed for better. No reasonable man will deal with
Ayo Fayose without wary; he cannot be trusted with an assignment meant for a
gentleman.
Fayose has not assumed office but he is already power
drunk, for
the second time in four days, people suspected to be political thugs on
Thursday disrupted proceedings at the Ekiti State High Court in Ado-Ekiti. Not
only that, a sitting judge, Justice John Adeyeye,
was beaten up and his law suit torn by the thugs.
The record book of
the Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, was also torn into pieces by the
thugs who also disrupted proceedings at the state Election
Petitions Tribunal.
It is a suicidal mission giving Fayose the mandate to
steer the affairs of the state for the next four years. The question on the
lips of analyst and political watchers is ‘is Ekiti back to its anarchical
past?’. I believe the next four years will provide an answer to that.
