Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has rewarded a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Afolabi Akanni, who was detained for 18 days by the Department of State Services with a car gift.

At a ceremony held at the Jibowu Hall of the governor’s office while hosting the 26-member assembly, the governor again criticised the DSS.

He said the security agency had succeeded in tarnishing its own image by allegedly attempting to coerce of the assembly to act the script of his detractors, which was to impeach him.

He said, “This House of Assembly is very unique and exemplary. You have refused to be bought over. My detractors have money and influence but Power of God starts where that of men stops. I’m so proud of you.

“You have shown that you can see beyond today. Wealth is not the amount of money in your bank but your level of integrity. You represent and carry yourselves as responsible Nigerians. The Old testament has to give way to the new testament. You are the ‘New testament’ House of Assembly.

“Betrayers will only contribute to the success of the person being betrayed. Those that betrayed us in the first term are no longer relevant today. Many of them even suffered and regretted their actions. Together we stand and I know the House will never divide. I don’t regret standing for those incarcerated. This is an opportunity for us to stand for our tomorrow.

Akanni in appreciation described Fayose as a “great leader and great mentor.”

“He remains a very honest man who also stand by his followers. I was so sure that he will fight my cause while in detention and I was not disappointed.

“The DSS asked me so many questions about the governor and I stood my ground. Governor Fayose is one man that I can never betray because he is my helper and my mentor. He has done a lot for me".

SMH for Ekiti State people. Did Fowlyose use his personal money to buy the car. Oga governor, me too was arrested by DSS and they asked me serious questions about your miracle election into government house, but I sealed my lips with super glue because am not like TKO. When will I get my own tear nylon car?

That's a good one

lol

It's sad.

Is this a Governor or a Givernor?

Fayoshe be acting like a kid.In as much I don't the rubbish DSS did,but buying this guy a car is uncalled for.

This tout governor and his show manship

Oga fayose, i don't subcribe in that ur idea of buying a car for the law maker,does it mean that the man does not have a car before or you just want to show yourself as usual. As for this is waste of public fund and i don't understand how these so-called politicans reason at times

Smh. What a sad shame. It's obvious to any sane person that Fayose is more concerned about playing stvpid politics/political theatrics/propaganda and grandstanding than actual governance. I mean, is this what he intends to do for the remainder of his tenure?? Is he the only opposition governor in Nigeria for goodness sake, that he must place politics above governance and development Even Wike isn't this toutish. Rubbish and nonsense. Gosh! Ekiti is in deep sheet.

seriously I feel so much pity for ekiti people.... but it's not as if Nigeria is faring better anyway.

A car reward. All is well.

oga fayose me i no you for this one at all.

Haters will surely hate. Let d dullard come to ekiti with the whole DSS in d nation, fayose will still remain unshakeable

What is all this? We're in trouble

I thought they said people of ekiti are the most educated people in Yoruba land.


Here's a proof that It's not all about being educated,It's about being gifted with common sense which is absent in ekiti.

What people of a state keep mute with all these.pathetic!

Nigeria! the more yu look, the less yu see. Am sure there's a reason they were arrested by the DSS and am sure there's a reason for this reward.

Everything Fayose do, some persons will have sleepless night kya. How is it yo business that he bought car for the man? if I am Fayose I will buy jet for the man.

U Zombies defending Buhari is not loyalty you are pledging to the Super Clueless Buffalo? Wait for your own reward on your loyalty to Buhari maybe in the next #CBNgate.

This kind thread fit cause HBP for some people ooo...

I just like this man, sure he is the most popular governor in Nigeria mehn.

God bless Foyose.

Hope fayose bought the car with his personal money and not with that of Ekiti State?

Will Ekiti develop under this man istration

Fayose enemies will not like this

Stunts


Its all stunts guys

the prodigal son of ekiti is at it again before, somebody was chastised for constructing a befitting state house as a legacy to the state but today nothing is wrong for a chattered helicopter to fly home a lawmaker that was picked for questioning back to ekiti in an heroic form with free Ankara to match for anybody that cares for it and finally a gift of kia soul to the lawmaker for his loyalty on not revealing fayose deals ( politically and financially ) to the DSS. in ekiti they are in for another episode of the return of fayose
part 2 if you watch part 1 just keep your finger crossed as he is reeling out the conclusion part to the ekitis.

Niceeee

If you want the Car come and Take it

I dislike this man.I pity ekiti peeps.

“The DSS asked me so many questions about the governor and I stood my ground. Governor Fayose is one man that I can never betray because he is my helper and my mentor. He has done a lot for me".

The bolded got me thinking, every right thinking Nigerian should be concerned how we play politics in this country

How does this add up? Money that will be used to pay workers' salaries and meet the infrastructural deficit in the state is used to compensate political stooges later people will tell me this nitwit is the nightmare to Buhari's aṣọ rock! I really pity Nigerians with the kind of leaders we have. With leaders like Dis, Nigeria will remain this way in the next 500yrs.

Chai. What a nation!

gud Governor
