Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has described the loss of the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, in the June 21 governorship election as a mystery which the All Progressives Congress must unravel,Punch reports.
“Somewhere something went wrong and it has to be corrected. That is the message I have for all of you. Be patient but at the same time be watchful.
He advised the people to put aside all the mystery surrounding the loss and continue to build on the “good foundation” Fayemi had established.
“Many people within and outside Ekiti were mystified. There is a clarity in my mind. That clarity had been demonstrated today and has been manifested in the four years of Fayemi.
“My own message is that put the mystery aside and the emotional attachment. Continue to build on the foundation that has been laid by him. The state has been resurrected in a way that all of us should be proud of.
“I’m glad that there is no sadness on the face of anybody. I’m happy I do not perceive any iota of regret on the face of anyone. That is the way it should be.”
Wole Soyinka made the statements during the inauguration of the new Government House known as ‘Ayoba Villa’ in Ado Ekiti on Sunday.

OPEN APPEAL TO PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN CONCERNING DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN
MR PRESIDENT, PLEASE TELL DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN, CEO OF NIGERIA ELECTRICITY LIABILTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY TO PAY PHCN PENSIONERS THEIR 5 MONTHS PENSIONS. THESE PENSIONERS HAVE PROTESTED AND PROTESTED AND PROTESTED BUT TILL DATE, NOTHING!!! HE KEEPS PROMISING TO PAY AND GIVING THEM FALSE HOPE. ONE BLATANT LIE AFTER ANOTHER. DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN, HAVE YOU NO HEART? DONT YOU HAVE HUMAN SYMPATHY AND THE FEAR OF GOD? THESE ARE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE DILIGENTLY SERVED PHCN AND RETIRED HONOURABLY. IF THEY HAD EMBEZZLED FUNDS WHILE IN OFFICE, THEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BOTHERED ABOUT THE LATE PAYMENT OF THEIR PENSIONS. BUT THEY HAVE NO OTHER SOURCE OF INCOME. MANY OF THEM HAVE DIED WHILE WAITING. MANY ARE SICK AND CAN NOT AFFORD HOSPITAL BILLS. SOME OF THEIR CHILDREN ARE STUCK AT HOME AS A RESULT OF THEIR PARENTS' INABILITY TO PROVIDE THEIR FEES. MANY OF THEM ARE STARVING!!! BUT YOU, DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN, AND YOUR EXECUTIVES ARE ENJOYING THE FINER THINGS OF LIFE. YOUR CHILDREN ARE WELL PROVIDED FOR WHILE THE PHCN PENSIONERS AND THEIR FAMILIES SUFFER! UNLIKE MOST OF THOSE IN OFFICE TODAY, THEY WERE WORKERS WITH INTERGRITY! IS THIS HOW THEY ARE PAID FOR THEIR SERVICE? DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN, HAVE YOU NO HEART? PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF THESE PENSIONERS! IMAGINE YOURSELF NOT HAVING ACCESS TO FUNDS FOR YOUR UPKEEP FOR FIVE FULL MONTHS!!!! OR BETTER STILL, IMAGINE YOUR OWN AGED PARENTS GOING THROUGH SUCH AN ORDEAL. IMAGINE YOUR OWN CHILDREN ASKING YOU FOR POCKET MONEY OR SCHOOL FEES AND YOU ARE HELPLESS. DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN, ARE YOU SO WICKED? IF YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN, COME OUT AND DEFEND YOURSELF. YOU MAY NEVER GET TO READ THIS. AND EVEN IF YOU DO, IT MAY HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR DEAD CONSCIENCE. BUT REMEMBER, THAT THE TEARS, PAIN AND ANGRY VOICES OF PHCN PENSIONERS ARE BEING RAISED AGAINST YOU! AND EVENTUALLY, THE WRATH OF GOD SHALL FALL UPON YOU IF YOU CONTINUE THIS WICKEDNESS DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN!
PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOD WE SERVE, INTERVENE IN THIS MATTER. MANY OF THESE PENSIONERS HAVE DIED. MUST WE WAIT TILL MORE FOLLOW? MUST THIS BE THE PLIGHT OF PENSIONERS IN NIGERIA? FOR THEM TO BE ABANDONED TO STARVE AFTER SERVICE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY? MUST WE REMAIN SILENT? MR. PRESIDENT, PLEASE INTERVENE. THEY HAVE CRIED AND BEGGED TO NO AVAIL. PLEASE, LOOK INTO DR. SAMUEL AGBOGUN'S TREATMENT OF PHCN PENSIONERS AND LET THE MERCY OF GOD TOUCH YOU TO INTERVENE. THANK YOU SIR.
