I think I can say it now
The time is ripe
To look back and do a recap of the good, the bad and the ugly that one observed and experienced while serving in the government of Dr John Kayode Fayemi, JKF- 2.
Though it is the wife, Erelu Bisi Adeleye Fayemi who is on the spot today, it may be a Commissioner tomorrow or a fellow DG or SSA next tomorrow
Although an attempt had been made by one journalist to unveil this, unfortunately, the guy chickened out like a lily-livered fellow
But for me, I don’t give a damn because I am the only one who has the authentic and verifiable story on vivid graphic details of the sacrilegious act committed by Her Excellency Bisi Fayemi in one of the events which I convened where the act took place and also being a witness of the act.
At least I am no longer working for the Government of Ekiti State, as the Director-General, Ekiti State Council for Arts and Culture or running errands for the outgoing Governor of the State, Dr John Kayode Fayemi as his Senior Special Assistant on Tourism Development, where though I was not able to perform so well as desired ( that is a story for another day)
Hence, I now have the liberty and unfettered freedom to expose and reveal some strange events and occurrences which I found to be odd and that I cannot hitherto reveal while servicing either Ekiti or the Governor of the State.
Also special thanks to the fact that Governor Fayemi and his wife, Erelu Fayemi, unlike some other Governors did not place their appointees on the oath of secrecy forbidding them from opening their mouths to tell their experiences under them.
Also, both husband and wife cherish and adore the elements in Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Amended.
Particularly now that I am back in my profession – journalism, which gives me the licence and liberty to investigate, expose and create public awareness about what has been hidden, or is being hidden and highlight some of the strange acts and deeds of some political appointees in government.
Of course, to many of us, there are some behavioural patterns expected from someone who God has elevated into positions of authority, particularly the post of the First Lady of a State
We believe that anybody planted in that kind of top position and who God has raised to a higher level should naturally jettison some manners which are considered anathema and unbecoming of a lady in such position and status.
These are manners which are only exhibited by people of low means, low status and of unrecognisable personalities.
Manners and behaviour which live thousands of miles away from their excellencies, the wives of Governors and ogas on top
Thus it wil
l not only be strange but of utmost embarrassing when someone like Erelu Bisi Fayemi, a psychedelic, cosmopolitan, sociable and intercontinental soul who junkets all over the world experiencing ‘ civilised ‘ manners now condescending so low to commit one of the acts!
Sacrilege of the highest order you say?
Imagine a whole first lady of Ekiti State
Yes, one of the very best homosapiens and exciting souls God has created
A well-travelled fellow
Cosmopolitan in view and global in outlook
The First Lady of a whole Ekiti State
The state full of Professors
The state where every house has produced a graduate
An intercontinental woman who has mingled and still drill rubbing minds with great men and women in the world
Imagine this woman
In a public place
Where there are culturalists
In the presence of prosperous fellow of arts and culture
Saw one old man.
Who’s dressing was very unattractive, a time beaten Agbada which the top did not compliment the buba
A man who was one of the five people to arrive
The Ekiti State Cultural Centre
At 9:15 ( probably an inconsequential man)
For an event scheduled to commence at 10 am
And in the glaring eye of all, Erelu
Bisi Fayemi,
In her glamour and majestic
Without minding that the floor will cast a stain
On her dress
Knelt down
With observed humility
To a man
Who she described as her teacher
Who had taught her at the University
Long years ago
And just because of that
The whole First Lady
Of Ekiti has to do the cultural way
Our way of greeting an elder
Showing a robust sense of being a thoroughbred
From a good home
Who married a naturally and culturally responsible husband
A family which honours values, culture morals, ethics and tradition
Had to kneel down on 25 August 2019, in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, at the Ekiti State Cultural Centre, Erelu Fayemi knelt before one man who was wearing a time-beaten agbada!
And in humility for
Professor Olomola
Who was one of the guests at
The first Ekiti State Council for Arts and Culture Stakeholders’ Forum
Some believed it was a sacrilege
But
Bibi
Ko se fowora
Bi a bini ko to ka tun ara ni bi
……Okun
Eyeluka
Kare re ooo
Olu Omo of Ilaramokin
Yeye Oba of Erinmope Ekiti……
…….and if in case you are not happy, sue me or come and beat me in Usi Ekiti.
Watch Out: The Commissioner who did the unexpected. ..you will be shocked.
