The All Progressives Congress, APC on Friday said President Goodluck Jonathan should be held solely responsible for the political stalemate in Ekiti.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Lai Mohammed, said this in an interview with Punch News
According to the APC, if the Federal Government sanctioned the illegality happening in Ekiti, then the nation’s democracy is at risk.
The party’s spokesman also said President Jonathan’s alleged overt and covert support for impunity was capable of sinking the ship of democracy.
Mohammed said, “This man (Ayo Fayose) is not eligible to stand for elections in the first place; what do you expect? That is where we should start from. I don’t know why Nigerians are not looking at the matter from the root.
“Two, this thing we are seeing today in the Ekiti State House of Assembly did not start today, it started when as governor-elect, Fayose led a pack of thugs to beat up a judge. What did Nigerians do?
“Three, he couldn’t have done all these without the connivance of the Police and who is in charge of the Police? It’s the President.”
He maintained that the blame for the desecration of the Nigerian Constitution, the destabilisation of the polity and the deliberate attempt to undermine democracy across the country had the imprint of the Presidency.
“Whether it’s Ekiti, Edo, Rivers or Adamawa, the story is the same. The Presidency is the unseen hand. Why are we talking about Ekiti in isolation? What we are seeing today is worse than what we saw under (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo,” he said.:.
