It is a known fact that our APC friends in Ekiti State only love to write and post ugly stuffs(falsehoods) about Gov. Ayodele Fayose but always get upset whenever the governor’s supporters on social media write or post negative stuffs about them. If you have contrary opinions to their views, they will detest you, call you unprintable names and do their worst by either removing or blocking you from their friends’ list.
Most of them have blocked us on Facebook and those who are yet to do so are not displaying the type of maturity expected of them. Instead of arguing wisely by addressing issues with facts, they always rain curses, they abuse and pelt unwarranted insults on the people who are not on the same page with them. I make bold to say only few APC members in Ekiti have what it takes to react to issues without using foul language. They can’t tolerate what PDP members and Fayose’s supporters tolerate.
Despite the high level of education of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, he was unable to tolerate the incessant and extreme heat given him on social media by Lere Olayinka. As a Governor of Ekiti State then, he ordered police to arrest Lere in 2012 because the young man was very active online and determined to expose all the obnoxious policies of his government. Lere was arrested, charged to court and when he was released, instead of him to keep mute and leave Fayemi alone, he remained resolute and became stronger in his critical analysis until the real image of APC government of Fayemi was made known to the whole wide world.
As a ruling party in the country but opposition in Ekiti State, these people are yet to learn their lesson. They are at it again and this time around, it is not Lere Olayinka, the latest person they are ignorantly shooting to stardom via their intolerance is another fearless man and a well known social media activist, Bola Agboola. He was invited by the Nigeria Police after the State Spokesman of APC in the state, Hon.(Chief) Taiwo Olatunbosun petitioned the police that the young man is an incessant attacker of Aisha Buhari, Muhammadu Buhari and APC as a party. Top amongst his offense according to Olatunbosun was that he turns down the president’s head on his Facebook timeline, as if that’s the reason Buhari is unable to move Nigeria forward or at least maintain what he met.
With this uncivilized action of Olatunbosun, I can state clearly anywhere that what APC government is looking for is a way to silence opposition in Nigeria at all cost because I am yet to know what Bola Agboola had written or posted on social media about APC members in Ekiti or about our weak and tired President that warrant invitation from Nigeria Police. Has Bola Agboola called the president Brainless? Did some prominent people in Nigeria not refer to former President Jonathan as clueless? Were those people arrested? It is shameful that Olatunbosun who has been making destructive criticism against Fayose right from the day he was picked as PDP Candidate in 2014 would want a fellow Ekiti indigene arrested, prosecuted and jailed for airing his opinion about a non performing president and party!
We were in this country when GEJ was the President and we heard a lot of horrible words used against him by the APC sympathizers and yet nobody was touched. I think the wise men in APC should tell those irrational members of the party in Ekiti who instigated this Nigeria Police invitation to my good friend that their action will never preclude him from posting negative stories about their party and its members. Bola Agboola that I know will never be afraid of any invitation from the Nigeria Police, he was there on Tuesday and he will be there again on Monday.
The unpleasant change will change one day.
