Conference of APC State Publicity Secrataries Condemn FG’s Tardy Response To Attack On Ekiti Judiciary The response of the Federal Government to the brazen attack on judges and the judiciary in Ekiti State is characteristically tardy and regrettable, and in the considered view of Conference of APC State Publicity Secretaries (CAPS), there cannot be any other explanation except that the PDP-controlled federal government is interested in perverting justice in the South West State. Our position is further reinforced by the fact that the sitting governor of the State was on Monday September 29, 2014, at a ceremony presided over by the President of the federal Republic of Nigeria officially addressed as the former governor of Ekiti State without the intervention of the president, or any of the highly placed government functionary in the ceremony. This shows PDP’s disregard for decorum, protocol and orderly conduct in preference to its whims and caprices. It shows the PDP has no regard for law and order and are ruled by the same selfish interests that have wrecked the country in its sad fifteen years in power. Never before in the chequered history of this nation has a lawful judicial tribunal of three learned judges been disrupted by known persons who have been allowed to freely walk the streets and literally celebrate their high crime. Never before has a high Court judge, no less a Chief Judge of a State been physically brutalised by private persons with high-stake political interests linked to that of the PDP-controlled federal government and the security agencies controlled by the same government feigned helplessness, while the federal government simply listed the Chief judges of neighbouring South West States for national honours. The assailants attacked Justice John Adeyeye, beating him up and ripping his clothes for being allegedly rude to Mr.Fayose reported Premium Times, an online newspaper. When we expected the highest level of condemnation by a federal government that has been astute in bending the machineries of government to serve the nihilistic interests of the PDP, what we got was the listing of chief judges of neighbourig South West States, with the exclusion of Ekiti for the thoroughly bastradized and serially abused national honour. We wonder what else can convince Nigerians that the PDP federal government is complicit in the brutal assault on the temple and officers of justice in Ekiti. The big question is: Did security fail or was it allowed to fail? Was the security agencies acting on instruction or the ludicrous ‘orders from above’ in feigning inaction as the Fayose led PDP hoodlums and ghouls trampled and desecrated the hallowed portals of justice in Ekiti? Is what happened in Ekiti a state sponsored act of terrorism targeted at the law so as to bend it to the desires of the PDP? When we remember that Fayose was impeached from office, is still facing a murder charge as well as a corruption charge and was seen good enough to be the PDP governorship candidate in Ekiti, we feel certain that what happened with the brazen attack on the judiciary was a premeditated effort to muscle justice and pocket the judiciary and we feel certain that the Jonathan government and the PDP are wholly complicit in this heinous crime against the state. “We suspect high level conspiracy in this egregious crime against the judiciary. Our position is reinforced by the suspicious reaction of the PDP federal government to this crime. Its reaction and actions betray a tacit support to this heinous crime is indicative of its tacit support to the bestial act of Mr. Fayose and his thugs. “While we demand quick and immediate action to save the judiciary from the hands of commissioned hoodlums, we urge the judiciary in Ekiti and elsewhere to stand firm and resist any attempt to cow it and make it a vassal of the PDP.
