Olisa Agbakoba, Tafawa Balewa, NIM Fresh Breed Political Movement condemns Police for manhandling Governor Fayose and disrupting peaceful rally in Ekiti
*Police action thuggish, violates Nigeria's Constitution - NIM
*NIM Set up Vigilante Resistance Team against lawless security personnel
The Nigeria Intervention Movement, NIM led by the duo of Dr Olisa Agbakoba, SAN and Dr Abdulljalil Tafawa Balewa condemns in strongest terms the thuggish violation of the Nigerian Constitution by the Nigerian Police for manhandling Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State today in Ado Ekiti, while trying to prevent a peaceful rally organized by the Governor
NIM wishes to state in clear terms that such act of thuggery by an agent of the State like the Police is a contemptuous violation of the sacred laws of Nigeria, especially section 108 of the 1999 Constitution which up till this moment confers immunity on every sitting Governor in Nigeria and therefore should be vehemently condemned, sanctioned by the Federal Government and resisted by the Nigerian people to prevent a dangerous conspiracy by state agents against Nigerian constitutional democracy as well as the human rights and freedom of the People
We are compelled by this grievous act of the police against Nigerian Constitution and the Ekiti people to direct all our coordinators and allies in Ekiti State to immediately set up a vigilante resistance team against any further thuggish and uncivilized acts of the police and other security agencies in the state, especially during this crucial period of elections in order to ensure that the popular will of Ekiti people prevails
In the meantime, a high powered delegation of NIM Leaders from NIM national secretariat have been dispatched to Ekiti to immediately engage Governor Ayo Fayose and leading Governorship Candidates in the 14 July elections in order to prevent a total break down of peace and order during the Saturday gubernatorial polls in the state
The NIM team has also been mandated, after their various interfaces, to recommend the most aligned and preferable governorship candidate for the endorsement for NIM members, Civil society and human rights community to support and vote for in the Saturday governorship elections in Ekiti
