A human rights activist, Morakinyo Ogele, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Governor Ayodele Fayose to resign or be chased out of office.
He threatened to lead a massive protest to chase him out of the Government House if he failed to resign.
Ogele, in a telephone interview with reporters on Thursday, also warned Fayose against blackmailing a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana, as being the brains behind his alleged witch-hunt by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
According to him, Fayose is no longer “fit and proper” to continue to occupy the seat of the governor going by the latest revelations of alleged purchase of properties within and outside the country with public funds.
Ogele, who is the National Coordinator of Ekiti Redemption Group, lamented that Ekiti had again been in the news for the wrong reasons under Fayose.
He stated, “I am now giving Fayose seven days to resign from office; pack his bags and baggage from the Government House and leave Ekiti, otherwise I will not hesitate to lead a massive protest to chase him out of the Government House.
“I want to warn Fayose to leave Femi Falana out of his problems. He should stop saying Falana is the one trying to remove him.
“Fayose should tell the whole world whether it was Falana that encouraged him to be involved in unprecedented corruption and looting of the people’s commonwealth.
“He should also tell the world whether it was Falana who directed him to receive kickbacks from contractors. He should equally tell the world whether Falana ordered him to be involved in Dasukigate”
Ogele added, “There is no way Fayose can convince the people of Ekiti State that he is fit and proper to rule Ekiti again because he has ridiculed Ekiti people before the whole world and the people are now regretting that Fayose is the governor of Ekiti State.”
