	allAfrica.com: Nigeria: Frozen Ekiti State Accounts (Page 1 of 1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		State Governments are not accountable to the President on the way they manage their affairs, or anything really.
		Predictably, he froze the Ekiti State accounts after the National Assembly failed to form a quorum to deliberate on and extend the tenure of Maj-Gen Tunji Olurin as the Sole Administrator in Ekiti State.
		It is for this reason that the National Assembly passed the 2007 budget of Ekiti State.

	News -- Ekiti is viable for business, says Adelaja
		It is indeed heartwarming that the state government is addressing the lack of basic social infrastructure with a pragmatic approach, a scenario which had hitherto been the bane of investment flow into the state.
		It is quite interesting that the state government is collaborating with the local government councils to execute some of these projects jointly, all in the interest of the masses and ultimately for the growth and development of the economy.
		Now that the state has come, the sweat, sacrifice and good intention of the prime mover of the idea, which definitely has a spiraling positive bandwagon effect on this generation and those yet unborn, should not be frittered and wished away on the altar of playing politics and chasing shadows.

	News -- Text: President Olusegun Obasanjo declares State of Emergency in Ekiti State, ...
		The situation in Ekiti State which culminated, on Monday, in the Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly being sworn in as Acting Governor is patently unconstitutional and, on that same day, the Attorney-General of the Federation issued a statement to that effect.
		Section 188 sub-Section 1 of the Nigerian Constitution states “The Governor or Deputy Governor of a State may be removed from office in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
		Having a State Assembly in position under a State of Emergency is incongruous and may not allow for the expeditious actions that the Administrator will need, to put the State back into a situation of peace, harmony, security for all, and maintenance of law and order throughout the State.

	The Trial Of Governor Fayose Of Ekiti State
		The substantive CJ of Ekiti State (now as a matter of defacto suspended by the House of Assembly) initiated the conflagration when he appointed a 7-man panel, which was immediately condemned as comprising persons of ‘questionable’ character who were identified as kith and kins of Mr Ayodele Fayose – the embattled governor under probe.
		What happened in Ekiti State is not different from two earlier instances in Kwara and Oyo States where the House of Assembly had effectively suspended Chief Justice of the States with or without favourable inclination to such decisions by the governors of the affected states.
		The ongoing political crisis in Ekiti State has merely exposed the vulnerability and unpreparedness of the Nigerian Judiciary to perform its fundamental role of an impartial arbiter and spells a possibility of a doomsday prediction for democracy in Nigeria.

		Grateful indigenes and non-indigenes of Ekiti State queued behind him at the last gubernatorial polls in the state because he had distinguished himself as a credible alternative to the incumbent governor.
		Although the gubernatorial contest was fierce in the state, Fayose rode on the crest of immense love and trust reposed in him by the good people of Ekiti State.
		It is aimed at boosting the economic base of both Ekiti State Government and the 16 local government areas and in providing job opportunities to not less than 5,000 youths within its first year of operation.

	Nigeriaworld Feature Article - The relevance of Ekiti State in the industrial development of the Nigeria New Frontier
		Knowing that Ekiti indigenes and Nigerian citizens in North America are interested in industrial development of our newly created state, I for one believe that Ekiti State with all its human and natural resources will meet the industrial goals of the new southwest.
		This is the biggest challenge ahead of us in our state, and it's a challenge not only for the newly elected governor, but also for every Ekiti citizen wherever he or she resides on our planet.
		Ekiti could establish a bitumen plant to process asphalt for road construction, and this could be achieved by entering into a joint venture with our neighboring state.

	Nigeriaworld Feature Article - How Ekiti State has been shortchanged
		The situation in the state is not getting better, and will not get better as long as characters like Fayose, Niyi Adebayo and their protégés continue to occupy government positions or are allowed to continue parading through the corridors of power.
		Ekiti State should make an effort to sell about 10 percent of the refinery to Omega Bank, instead of Fayose fighting Omega for the bank's poor management and lack of transparency, as he (Fayose) alleges.
		Ekiti State is not only the fountain of knowledge, but there are many of us from this state who have a vision for our state and our country.

		For about two months, Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti State, had been a very happy man. The governor, who has moved from one controversy to the other since he came to power in 2003, had reasons to be happy.
		These included the writing of a proposal stating the scope of the work and attaching a bill of quantities, appraisal of the proposal and auditing of quotations by state officials, vetting of the contract by the state tenders board and, finally, award of the contract.
		According to the governor, the state executive council had agreed with the contractor on everything that had to do with the poultry contract but that he queried the agreement that was brought for approval and that it was an amended one that finally came.

	Interpreting Justice In Ekiti State
		Ekiti people clearly read through the duplicity of the Federal Government and top members of the PDP and refused to challenge her in the expected manner that would have led to violence.
		The third objective was to ensure that the state has a vibrant, multiparty democracy anchored on the core values of the state in a peaceful atmosphere free of intrigues and all the vices currently besetting politics in Nigeria.
		Ekiti people deserves good governance and they have a real chance of ensuring that only credible people, those who have imbibed and internalized the noble values of Ekiti in their attitude and conduct, are elected in 2007.

		In this interview, he said the Senate exercised its constitutional duty in approving the State of Emergency declared by the Federal Government on Ekiti State, adding that the lawmakers held wide consultations with all the interested parties in the State before approving the state of emergency, but most importantly to save the state.
		Let me say first and foremost that there were some Nigerians who felt that the Senate should not have ratified the State of Emergency and there were also other Nigerians, who thought that the only way out of the crisis was to ratify the state of emergency in Ekiti state.
		Given the situation, yes he is a military man, but the administrator appointed for Ekiti State was once a governor at some point, even though a military governor.

	Army arrangement in Ekiti
		Admittedly, President Obasanjo from the tenets of his speech had based his imposition of a State of Emergency on Ekiti on the doctrine of salus populi suprema lex or the “people’s safety is the highest law”.
		It was not when the President imposed a state of emergency on Plateaus State and it is not in the present case with Ekiti.
		Also, though the president might see the state of emergency process as a practical solution given his military background, his compulsive tendency to do so at the earliest opportunity and having done so twice in his second term, is really an attempt to bequeath Nigeria with a bum legacy.
