Ekiti crisis: You’re biased, PDP tells CJ Daily SUN Newspaper. October 2, 2014. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has accused the state Chief Judge (CJ), Justice Ayodeji Daramola, of bias, saying the CJ is siding the All Progressives Congress (APC) in an attempt to prevent the Governor-elect, Ayodele Fayose, from being sworn into office on October 16. The PDP said: “The chief judge must face the truth and stop being bias in the interest of the sanctity of the judiciary.” The party, in a release issued by the state Publicity Secretary, Pastor Kola Oluwawole, said the CJ deliberately amplified what happened in the state High Court, Ado-Ekiti last week Monday and Thursday, blaming it on Fayose and shutting down courts in the state to achieve pre-determined political agenda. Oluwawole, who said the fracas during court proceedings was not new in Nigeria, especially in political cases, cited instances of the election tribunal in Ondo State that was disrupted on March 18, 2013, when supporters of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Labour Party (LP) clashed leaving four persons injured. He also recalled the January 23, 2012 clash between supporters of PDP and ACN at the premises of the gover norship election petition tribunal in Lokoja, Kogi State, during which one person was shot and three others injured.
