In a
statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Peter Okhiria, Governor Adams
Oshiomhole said;
“We find it utterly
laughable and as the height of political childishness for the Ekiti State
Governor to hide behind his media aides and seek to drag the name of the
Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, into his crude gangster
tactics which he has re-introduced into Ekiti politics less than two months
after assuming office.
“If the Ekiti Governor
is too lazy to read and too politically illiterate to know what is happening in
Edo State House of Assembly, we expected his psychedelic media aides to simply
shut their loud mouths rather than behave like capering neophytes."

“For the purpose of
education, the Ekiti Governor and his media aides should be informed that there
is no crisis in Edo State House of Assembly. Fifteen members of the 24-member
Assembly are members of the All Progressives Congress, while nine are members
of the opposition PDP. Of the nine PDP members, three are on suspension while
the seat of one member has been declared vacant. So, effectively, the PDP has
five members in the Edo State House of Assembly.
“Even a kindergarten
knows that 15 is greater than 5. So if five PDP members decide to sit with
three suspended members and another whose seat was declared vacant in a chamber
which is undergoing renovation, then we can at best regard that as the height of
crass legislative irresponsibility".
“It is ridiculous to
even contemplate that the Ekiti Governor and his media aides do not know that
15 is greater than five! For sure, they seem engrossed with their stomach
infrastructure mantra, such a dubious contraption which can only be contrived
by an ideologically clueless and gluttonous administration".
“But for the kind of
democracy we practice in Nigeria, where the PDP promotes and condones all
manners of illegalities, inanities and shenanigans which have become the second
nature of that party, Ayodele Fayose would have been cooling off his heels in
gaol rather than brandishing the appellation of being a Governor.
“We are thoroughly
ashamed that Ekiti, hitherto known as the fountain of knowledge, is being
reduced to a mindless bubble by a man running her affairs without a discernible
direction like a drowning man clutching desperately at flotsam.
“We advise Fayose to
restrict his gung-ho area boy tactics to Ekiti state and stop dropping the name
of Governor Adams Oshiomhole to shore up his jaded image. Governance comes with
decorum, respect and responsibility. If Ekiti people with all their avowed
sophistication and intellectuality have elected to present a political rascal
as their number one citizen, so be it; but they must understand that there is a
huge difference between character and infamy"
