How Fayose Tackled Kidnapping in Ekiti Without Waiting for Buhari
According to Olayinka, Ekiti was invaded by kidnappers during Fayose’s tenure. Fayose did not sit down and beg President Muhammadu Buhari for help. He took action immediately and decisively.
However, this was not just talk. Fayose mobilised local hunters across the state. He also deployed soldiers and security men to tackle the threat head-on.
And here is the thing — Fayose also made laws banning open grazing in Ekiti. Fulani herders were not allowed to enter the state at night. All cattle rearers operating in Ekiti were identified and documented.
Furthermore, Fayose went even harder after a pregnant woman was killed at Orin Ekiti Farm Settlement. He summoned Fulani leaders and all stakeholders to Government House immediately. The son of a Fulani leader, Alhaji Abache, was accused of involvement in the killing.
Fayose gave Alhaji Abache a hard deadline — produce your son within one week or leave Ekiti. Let that sink in. Within just three days, Abache brought his son forward.

Why Olayinka Is Saying This Now — The Makinde Connection
Meanwhile, Olayinka’s post came at a very specific moment. Hours earlier, Fayose had publicly criticised Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. Bandits had abducted over 40 schoolchildren, their principal, and a teacher in Oyo.
Consequently, Olayinka used Fayose’s Ekiti record to make a bigger point. He said Nigerians keep playing politics and emotions with insecurity in the South-West. He wants governors held accountable — not celebrated for simply talking.
In fact, Olayinka’s message was directed at everyone, not just Makinde. He said when people are ready, they will hold their governors truly accountable. Most importantly, he wants action — not press conferences and condolences.
