Members of a coalition of civil society groups yesterday marched on the streets of Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, to protest alleged impunity, lawlessness, corruption and anti-people policies of the Ayo Fayose administration.
The placard-carrying protesters accused Fayose of inflicting suffering on the people and failing to run a transparent and accountable government.
They slammed the lawmakers for lying that the Department of State Services (DSS) invaded the House of Assembly, saying they have since discovered that there was no invasion.
Some of their placards read: “Promoters of treason must pay for their
crimes”; “Fayose, when are you going to publicise your assets?”; “Stop
demolishing traders’ shops in our state”; “There is nothing like DSS
invasion of Assembly”; “Fayose has destroyed Ekiti legacy of honour and
integrity”; “Stop using Ekiti youths as thugs while your children enjoy
abroad”; “Fayose must explain how he collected INEC soft copies to win
election”; “It is wrong for primary/secondary schools to pay tax”, among
others.
Groups which participated include Coalition of Southwest Youths, Ekiti Youth Vanguard, Omoluabi Grassroots Coalition, Coalition of Progressives, Ekiti Progressive Women Alliance and Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP). The protest, which started at Okeyinmi at 9.04 am, ended at the Ojumose Roundabout, where protest leaders addressed reporters.
