Rather than making blanket allegation, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has called
on the international community, especially the United Nations and the
International Criminal Court (ICC), to investigate the “heinous crime” being
committed by the military against Nigerians in the South-east region.
Again, Fayose said there was no law in Nigeria
empowering the military to declare any organisation as terrorist, and kill
unarmed people.
He also challenged the Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, to quickly name those “treasury looters”
that he claimed were sponsoring the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying:
“It is high time Nigerians began to hold the Information Minister accountable for
his frivolous claims.”
The governor who said the minister has consistently
been lying to Nigerians, pointed out that “more than 20 months after he claimed
that 55 Nigerians stole over N1.34 trillion from the country’s treasury from
2006 to 2013, Mohammed is yet to tell Nigerians who the 55 people are.”
In a statement issued on Teusday by the governor's
Special Assistant on
Public Communications, Lere Olayinka, Fayose described
Mohammed as “an embodiment of contradictions, who speaks from both sides of his
mouth, turning himself to a vegetable while struggling to defend a government
that has done more evil than good to Nigeria and its people.”
The governor called on Nigerians to prevail on the
minister to name the treasury looters sponsoring IPOB and provide proof of the
sponsorship as well as the 55 people who he said stole over N1.34trillion.
“It is shameful that Mohammed now runs speedily to
defend the lion king and his autocratic government, so that he won’t be
devoured, and in the process of trying to avoid being sacked, he is manufacturing
lies like ‘sachet’ water.
