Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has said the
northern groups who issued a quit notice to the Igbo
resident in the north were emboldened by the
knowledge that “their person is in power”.
He said although the quit notice was an empty threat,
it could lead to anarchy if proper care is not taken.
Fayose said that the comments credited to Ango
Abdullahi – who backed the quit notice – is “danger
lurking in the country”.
In a statement on Sunday, he said the unity of the
country was threatened like never before.
“We are more divided than ever. The elements are
emboldened because they believe their person is in
office and nothing would happen,” he said.
“This is not surprising to some of us as the herdsmen
set the tone and became notorious under the watch of
Buhari. If this continued, it would further heat up the
already tensed situation and promote further distrust
among ethnic groups in the country.
“Buhari’s government has not taken responsibility; no
responsible government would encourage this. It is an
empty threat that if not checked would snowball. This
is why people are calling for restructure.”
He urged the federal government to “take decisive
actions on those promoting war situation in our
country”.
The governor called on security agencies to invite
Abdullahi for questioning.
“He should be invited for questioning by security
agencies. Leaders should rise up and condemn this
instead of giving tacit support to the ultimatum.
“So many lives have been lost due to the lackadaisical
attitude of the Federal Government. All these I saw
when I warned that Buhari would leave our country
worse than he met it in 2015.”
