Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), today advised the state governor, Ayodele Fayose to henceforth stop attacking the nation’s judiciary, saying it could result into contempt of court.
The Ekiti APC while reacting to the governor's comments against the judiciary on its ruling which restrained President Goodluck Jonathan from deploying the military for election, posited that the Governor was uncomfortable because he had plans to use fake soldiers.
Specifically, the Ekiti State APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, argued that governor Fayose's utterances, "Smacked off contempt of court and brazen attempt to blackmail the judges in the course of performing their legal duties."
Olatubosun further 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.
"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?”
