REVEALED: How Fayose was Disgracd at Ewi’s Daughter’s Church Wedding
Immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose
got more than he bargained for today during the wedding of the daughter
of Oba Adejugbe, the Ewi of Ado Ekiti at the Anglican Church
Cathedral Ado Ekiti.
Fayose came into the Church in a
white buba and soro when the Church Service was in progress but shouts
of Ole, Ole (thief! Thief! ) rented the air!
This
almost interrupted the Church Service as many people in the Church
poured inventives on him calling him 419 Governor, a destroyer of
peoples property and a wicked governor.
When the heat
on Fayose became unbearable midway into the service, he was ferried from
the Church by security agents to under the bridge where his car was
parked. He got another surprise waiting for him outside the Church as a
big crowd was waiting for him. He was sandwiched between security agents
and the Deputy Governor who ensured he entered his car unhurt and
zoomed off. Not done, the crowd ran after his vehicle and pelted it with
stones!
Meanwhile, while abuses were being hurled at
Fayose inside the church, former Governor Mimiko felt so unconcerned
and kept to himself. Also present at the church were prominent
traditional rulers like the Deji of Akure, Osemawe of Ondo and many
traditional rulers in Ekiti State.
Fayose came into
Ado Ekiti yesterday probably to felicitate with Oba Adejugbe, the Ewi
of Ado Ekiti over his daughter’s wedding and also to test the waters on
his popularity being the first time after he stepped into the State.
His visit to the palace yesterday was not announced so he came in
sudeenly and went into the market where a handful of market women and
some street urchins shouted Osoko but it was a different ball game in
the church today.
The last one week has been bad for
Fayose. Just last week on Ibadan when the PDP candidate, Abubakar
Atiku visited, he was ignored by other PDP leaders including the
National Chairman, Secondus. This made Fayose very lonely and sat in a
corner looking forlorn. This was after he was involved in a motor
accident on the third mainland bridge. Fayose was embarrased at the
Ibadan meeting when against his expection, the National leadership of
the PDP recognised Senator Biodun Olujimi as the leader of the PDP in
Ekiti State.
As the 2019 election approaches, Fayose may face many battles from within his own party and from the ruling APC in the State.
