Fayose calls for probe of past leaders
EKITI State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has called for the probe of all past leaders in the Fourth Republic to bring sanity in the system.
Fayose in his 55th independence anniversary broadcast also called for the strengthening of core values in the country for it to take its pride of place among its peers.
The governor, who said it was unfortunate that despite the nation marking her 55th independence anniversary, her developmental strides had not been commensurate with her age, lamented the current economic situation in the country and called for greater commitment on the part of leaders to get the country out of the woods.
Our country is growing in age as an independent country, but there is no corresponding growth in values. Those who are supposed to help propel those core values are muzzling the opposition and the imaginary enemies.
“The current leadership in the country should have the courage to probe all the leaderships of the past. There should be no sacred cow if truly they have anything to offer.’’
The mismanagement of yesteryears, especially since we started the Fourth Republic, should be probed. It will not augur well for our nation if we are selective in the dispensation of justice.
“Leaders must be equitable and fair to all. Everybody must be diligent in playing our parts. The current civilian dispensation in the country must be supported and allowed to thrive,” he said.
On the current democratic dispensation in the country, Fayose gave kudos to former President Goodluck Jonathan for the manner he handled the last general elections.
On the coming governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi states, the governor said the manner President Muhammadu Buhari handles the matter would determine if he likes democracy to grow in the country.
