The Ekiti Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has advised the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin, to respect his office and stop dreaming of being made the acting governor of the state.
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday through his Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka, the governor berated the Speaker for statements credited to him in some Sunday national newspapers, in which he said damning evidence came out against Fayose during the hearing of the election petition filed by the All Progressives Congress.
He also advised Omirin to behave responsibly in honour of his exalted office and stop seeing himself as the Speaker of the APC, who is under the control of his party leaders.
He also denied a report on the state television station, EKTV, stating that he addressed a press conference in Lagos, where he allegedly told reporters that he would be the Acting Governor that would conduct a governorship rerun in January.
Omirin, who claimed he was no where near Lagos of recent and so had no contact with reporters to make that unfounded comment, said the report allegedly sponsored by the governor, was another blackmail to kill the institutions of government to receive undeserved public sympathy by him (Fayose).
Olayinka said, “It is known to everyone in Ekiti that the speaker even made preparations in readiness for his assumption of office as acting governor on October 16. Obviously, from the tone of the press statement issued by the Speaker, which was published in some newspapers today, the Speaker is still day-dreaming about his ambition to be acting governor.
“For him to have claimed that Governor Fayose was a perjurer and certificate forger, and that damning reports of alleged fraud were established at the hearings of the election petitions tribunal, Dr. Omirin has further exposed the content of his inner mind as regards his desperate ambition to be acting governor.
