Some ugly drama is playing out in the life of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose.
The man who used to pull crowd around Ekitii towns was an object of scorn on Saturday in Ado Ekiti, the same state capital where he loomed large till about two months ago.
According to reports, he was disgraced during the wedding of a daughter of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejuyigbe.
A report relayed on Facebook by a social commentator, Ayo Ojeniyi, indicates, “Fayose got more than he bargained for today during the wedding of the daughter of Oba Adejugbe, the Ewi of Ado Ekiti at the Anglican Church Cathedral Ado Ekiti.
Fayose came into the Church in a white buba and soro when the Church Service was in progress but shouts of Ole, Ole (thief! Thief! ) rented the air!
“This almost interrupted the Church Service as many people in the Church poured inventive on him calling him 419 Governor, a destroyer of people’s property and a wicked governor. When the heat on Fayose became unbearable midway into the service, he was ferried from the Church by security agents to under the bridge where his car was parked. He got another surprise waiting for him outside the Church as a big crowd was waiting for him. He was sandwiched between security agents and the Deputy Governor who ensured he entered his car unhurt and zoomed off. Not done, the crowd ran after his vehicle and pelted it with stones!
“Meanwhile, while abuses were being hurled at Fayose inside the church, former Governor Mimiko felt so unconcerned and kept to himself. Also present at the church were prominent traditional rulers like the Deji of Akure, Osemawe of Ondo and many traditional rulers in Ekiti State.”
