News: Fayose calls for probe of past leaders

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has
called for the probe of all past leaders in the
Fourth Republic to bring sanity in the system.
Fayose in his 55th independence anniversary
broadcast also called for the strengthening of
core values in the country for it to take its
pride of place among its peers.

The governor, who said it was unfortunate
that despite the nation marking her 55th
independence anniversary, her developmental
strides had not been commensurate with her
age, lamented the current economic situation
in the country and called for greater
commitment on the part of leaders to get the
country out of the woods.

Our country is growing in age as an
independent country, but there is no
corresponding growth in values. Those who
are supposed to help propel those core values
are muzzling the opposition and the imaginary
enemies.
“The current leadership in the country should
have the courage to probe all the leaderships
of the past.

There should be no sacred cow if
truly they have anything to offer.’’
The mismanagement of yesteryears, especially
since we started the Fourth Republic, should
be probed. It will not augur well for our
nation if we are selective in the dispensation
of justice.

“Leaders must be equitable and fair to all.
Everybody must be diligent in playing our
parts. The current civilian dispensation in the
country must be supported and allowed to
thrive,” he said.

On the current democratic dispensation in the
country, Fayose gave kudos to former
President Goodluck Jonathan for the manner
he handled the last general elections.

On the coming governorship elections in
Bayelsa and Kogi states, the governor said the
manner President Muhammadu Buhari
handles the matter would determine if he likes
democracy to grow in the country.
