The 26 members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have declared that they do not have any apology for showing absolute loyalty to the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose.
They argued that nothing would forever prevent them from standing by Ekiti people and the governor because it was through the grace of God and “his (Fayose) grace that we are here.”
The lawmakers were replying the Ekiti All Progressives Congress, who criticised the governor for appearing in a T-shirt when he appeared on Monday before the Ekiti State House of Assembly to present the 2016 budget.
Speaking with journalists in Ado Ekiti on Friday, the House Committee Chairman on Information, Gboyega Aribisogan, advised the APC “to face issues, especially the government of inconclusiveness being run in Abuja instead of having sleepless nights over how the governor chooses to dress.”
He said the APC should know that the assembly was not one that would collaborate with the executive to run the state aground as done under the APC government of Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
The lawmakers said, “Instead of them to face issues, especially concerning their party that is almost going into extinction in Ekiti and the cluelessness going on in Abuja, they have turned themselves into Governor Fayose’s advisers on mode of dressing and public presentation.
“Is it our fault that the APC does not have a single member in the House of Assembly? And what has what Governor Fayose wears got to do with governance? What did Ekiti people gain from the four years ‘agbada wearing’ government of APC apart from monumental debt that will take the state up till year 2036 to pay?
“The reality that those in APC must face is that if they are waiting for us to confront Governor Fayose on issues of governance, they will wait till eternity.”
