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 federal government’s 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 Fayose with whatever it takes, including sacrificing their lives, saying this is 2016 and not 2006.
One of them was heard shouting “Let them come and arrest us. We are ready. We are not afraid of them. We are Ekiti people. Nobody can intimidate us”.
