Chief Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state is of the notion that corporate existence of Nigeria may never see the light of day as this is being by selective administration of justice, marginalisation, vendetta against perceived political opponents.
The governor called on well-meaning Nigerians and handle the issue before it becomes too late
Fayose made this know in Lagos on Friday night while being conferred with the award of Man of the People by the Silverbird Group.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, he quoted the governor as saying;
“A lot of people we know to be vocal have lost their voices. Some have taken cover under the beds of their wives. We are in a perilous time and I appreciate those who are still standing for the people at this time. For me I will remain a man. Some people have kept quiet because they fear that they may be persecuted. ” But should we all keep quiet when people are oppressed and suppressed and blatantly marginalised? Look at the level of poverty in the country, it is sickening. The standard of living has gone down. And how do we explain a situation where some people are treated as slaves and others as princes. This country belongs to all of us. It is in serious need now and we must salvage the situation.”
On the call for restructuring, Fayose said;
“I was moved by what the late Chief Ojukwu said many years ago and never knew his wife would be the one to present this award to me. We should go back to the basics or we are going no where. We are one and the same and no section must be marginalised,” he said.
