TVC E, POLITICS – Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has muzzled legislature and the Judiciary in the state, Human rights lawyer Morakinyo Ogele has accused.
Ogele said the principle of separation of power has been completely eroded in Ekiti with the other two arms of government rendered prostrate.
At a briefing in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital on Thursday, Ogele alleged that Fayose harassed and intimidated members of the House of Assembly to pass a resolution asking the Olukere of Ikere-Ekiti, Oba Ganiyu Obasoyin, to stop parading himself as a monarch.
Ogele, the monarch’s lawyer, said the governor did not allow the Committees on Public Petitions and Chieftaincy Matters to conclude their assignments before ordering them to pass the “controversial” resolution.
He maintained that his client (Obasoyin) would never succumb to any threat from the Fayose administration, vowing to pursue the case to a logical conclusion.
