Twenty-six members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly on Wednesday, at Okesa Junction, Ado Ekiti, protested federal government’s harassment of Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose as well as the intimidation of Members of the Assembly with FG witch-hunting apparatus.
The members who came prepared for arrest with their travelling bags to the spot of the sit down protest vowed to remain at the spot for the whole day.
They promised to support Governor Fayose with whatever it takes, including sacrificing their lives saying this is 2016 and not 2006.
Governor Fayose, is being investigated by the EfCC for allegedly receiving billions of Naira from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to fund his governorship Election in 2014.
He has however denied this, insisting that his election was funded majorly by Zenith Bank and donations from the people.
