Protests In Ekiti As Monarch Accuses Gov. Fayose Of Destroying Billboard

“My life now is at stake. If someone could personally supervise the tearing of my billboard, what would he do if he meets me face to face?”
“It is rather surprising that with the hectic work   the office of the governor requires, he could still go to the street to destroy Oba’s billboard. Fayose and Ogoga have forgotten so soon that the land Ogoga is occupying in Ikere and the authority he is using were given to him by my palace, including his crown.
“Ogoga in history was never a crowned prince anywhere, including in Benin, where he claimed to have come from. I made him who he is and he should not push my people to go to war. They should let Ikere be.
“They wanted to ignite crisis and burn down my town, but I am pleading that they should desist because I am the owner of the land and I won’t allow it to burn. I am a descendant of Oduduwa and one of the founders of Ekitiland. We are going to resist any attempt by Ogoga, who is a stranger in my land, to conspire with Fayose to obliterate my stool.”

“There are some lies when told, you win sympathy. But in other cases, you will look foolish. To say that the governor tore the poster or destroyed the billboard or sent people to destroy the whatever is a lie carried too far.
“Fayose is not from Ikere. He is not interested in who rules Ikere. How can he nurse animosity against the Olukere? That this administration gave recognition to the Ogoga, Fayose was simply following the law, particularly on the Ikere issue.
“None of the past administrations gave recognition to Olukere to rule over Ikereland. Does the Olukere expect Governor Fayose to do otherwise and cause crisis in the ancient town?
“The Olukere was only ventilating his anger when he alleged that the governor destroyed or sent people to destroy his posters. The allegation is unfounded.”
