Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has alleged that the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami is plotting to prosecute his aides, including members of the State House of Assembly following a letter he wrote to President Xi Jinping of China, seeking the stoppage of the $2 billion loan sought by the Federal Government.
Fayose made this known through his media aide, Lere Olayinka on Thursday.
He said: “The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami is now coordinating a plot to charge Gov Fayose’s Chief of Staff, Barrister Dipo Anisulowo; Spokesperson, Lere Olayinka; House of Assembly members; Samuel Omotoso, Segun Adewumi and Gboyega Aribisogan to court for TREASON.
“The plot is to first arrest the five men and keep them in detention for not less than one month after which they will be charged to court and denied bail so as to keep them out of circulation.
“This is another of the FG plot to destabilise the govt of Ekiti State and silence Gov Fayose so that the opposition will no longer have any voice in Nigeria.
“Their offence is that they submitted a letter on behalf of the governor at the Chinese Embassy, Abuja seeking the stoppage of the $2 billion loan sought by the FG.
“Has AGF Malami forgotten that while in opposition, APC petitioned the US Govt and other world powers not to sell arms to the PDP govt of Jonathan to fight Boko Haram, alleging human rights abuses?
“All these efforts to silence Fayose won’t work because before President Buhari, there was opposition in Nigeria, now that Buhari is the President, there must be opposition and after Buhari’s tenure, there will be opposition.
“Gov Fayose cannot be silenced. He will continue to talk for the betterment of Nigeria and its people”.
