Students take to the streets, call on Fayemi to defend self against Fayose

Students from the various tertiary institutions in Ekiti State, on Monday took to the streets to protest what they said was moves by the Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to scuttle a planned judicial probe of his administration, saying it was “proper for the people of the state to know the truth about the allegations by the government of Governor Ayodele Fayose.”

The students in their protest in Ado Ekiti, alleged that Dr. Fayemi was “using the judiciary to shield himself from answering questions on allegations of corruption and we feel this is not good enough both for him as a person and as a political leader in the state.”
