Abeggi! Let’s be realistic jare. What has Fayose got to do with this. Didn’t you read the story? Its all about our individual corrupt value system in Nigeria. That’s why I keep saying that its not just about good governance but also the re-orientation of every individual about having and exhibiting a good moral value. Otherwise nothing is gonna change in this country!

This is politics they just want to make Ekiti State ungovernable for fayose, please let us use our head here, this is very clear, fayose can never be behind this because he is a present governor in that state, he won’t want to put his state in crisis like this, this is the work of opponent part, but God will definitely punish those pple behind this crisis in Ekiti State.
