Ekiti youths under the auspices of Ekiti Youths Vanguard have warned the drivers’ unions and their members against releasing their vehicles
to Governor Ayodele Fayose to block all roads leading to Ekiti State to prevent lawmakers elected on the platform of the All Progressives
Congress from entering the state.
Reacting to reports that the governor had directed government drivers to block all roads leading to the state with the luxury buses in the
Government House, including mobilising drivers to release their vehicles to block the roads, the youth in a statement by their
Coordinator, Charles Fakunle, warned the drivers never to surrender their vehicles for any illegal act to disturb public peace.
Fakunle said: “Any driver that releases his vehicle for that illegal act will have himself to blame. We warn seriously again that any
driver that gets himself involved in this illegality will regret his action.
“We warn that any driver that wants to remain in business should not release his vehicle for any illegal operation and anyone who refuses
to take our advice, we wish him good luck.”
The group said the era of impunity is over by midnight of Thursday (today), noting that by 12 am tonight, President Goodluck Jonathan and
Fayose would have gone with their life of impunity that rendered the nation’s constitution a joke.
The statement added: “The law will begin to operate by midnight today.
After that, Fayose will be called to account for all his illegal acts.
From midnight today, the police, SSS and soldiers will be under a retired disciplined Nigerian Army officer. Any one who flouts the
nation’s law will pay dearly for it.
“By this, Fayose will no longer be in a position to protect any law breaker, including protecting himself against any illegal conduct. It
is on this note that we warn okada operators and drivers to protect their personal businesses instead of protecting, through illegal
means, the governor that puts his children thousands of miles away in safety and enjoyment in America and Europe while arming innocent Ekiti
youths with guns to fight security forces.
“We also warn the thugs lodged in the Government House that in their own interest, they should get out of Ekiti State this afternoon.”
