The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Sunday, stated that his government will sue the Federal government for harassing and arresting some principal officers in his council as well as members of the Ekiti state House of Assembly.
Fayose, who noted that he was being targeted by the Muhammadu Buhari administration, stated this during an interaction with newsmen in Lagos.
The governor also said that he has invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to be part of the project he is handling in the state.
“I have started the construction of a flyover in Ado/Ikere Road for N5.7bn. I have also invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to be part of it, because I know I am a target of the current administration.”
“You may not like my face or my style. But take the message and leave the messenger. If they have anything against me, they would have published it I know. I prepare for my defence. I am fully prepared.”
“Criticising the President should not make an enemy. We will sue the government. We learnt this from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. He is always in court either by proxy or direct. You cannot keep arresting my principal officers and members of my state House of Assembly.”
Speaking on the current pressure on the Nigerian currency, Fayose said: “The All Progressives Congress deceived us. They manipulated us.”
“I blame the current economic woes in Nigeria on the President. No matter the past economic situation of a country, a good manager would have been able to normalise the situation. The way things are going in Nigeria, the economy may shut down soon.”
