New governor of Ekiti state Ayo Fayose has accused former governor Kayode Fayemi of spending a whooping N50million on beds in his and his wife's bedroom at the Ekiti State Govt House which they recently vacated. (one of the beds pictured above). The new governor claimed that between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100m

Fayose made this accusation in a statement that was released yesterday October 20th by his Special Assistant Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka. The new governor described the newly built Government House in the state as a show of wickedness to Ekiti people, many of whom cannot afford to feed once a day.

N3.3bn New Govt House Is Fayemi’s Show Of Wickedness To Ekiti People - Fayose’s Aide
Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Ayodele Fayose on Information and Social Media, Mr Lere Olayinka has described the new government house built by the immediate past government of Dr Kayode Fayemi as an act of insensitivity to the plight of Ekiti people, many of whom cannot afford to feed once in a day.

Speaking with pressmen in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, Olayinka said no progressive minded Ekiti person would see the out-of-this-world luxury provided with over N3.3bn borrowed fund for Fayemi, his wife and children and will not weep for the State and its people.

Olayinka, who said Governor Fayose was alarmed at the waste of Ekiti resources to provide comfort for a single family out of the thousands of households in the State, added that; “the governor would have preferred to sell out the property and use the fund to provide basic amenities and employment opportunities for the people.

He disclosed that Fayemi was planning to buy a helicopter if he had returned to office for a second term, adding that; “the plan was for Fayemi to run government from the comfort of Oke-Ayoba Government House and move from there to anywhere he wanted without the people seeing him. That’s also the reason he (Fayemi) refused to renovate the Governor’s Office, leaving it in a state of disrepair because he knew that he was not going to use the office during his second term.”
"Also, contract for the maintenance of the property was already awarded for N150m per annum.
“When we visited the Government House for the first time yesterday, Mr Governor was like; how I wish I can sell off this place or turn it to commercial use? It is simply wicked for a governor to be more interested in this manner of ostentatious comfort at the expense of the people.”

Speaking further, the governor’s aide said; “The bed on which Fayemi slept before he left government alone costs over N30 million! That of his wife costs over N20 million!
“Between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100 million.

“How can a responsible government use borrowed fund to provide this kind of luxury for the governor and his family alone in a State where a lot of people cannot afford to feed once in a day?
“People should ask the outgone governor what was really wrong with the abandoned governor’s lodge used by his (Fayemi) predecessors?

“Shouldn’t such funds expended on the hilltop edifice have been used to resuscitate the moribund Textile Factory in Ado-Ekiti that was turned to lock-up shops to provide employments for our teeming unemployed youths?

“Also, was Fayemi living in that manner of opulence before he became governor? Was he sleeping on a body-massaging bed and bathing in an electric controlled Jacuzzi?

“Here is Fayemi, who could not pay workers salary, owing them two months’ salary before he left. A Fayemi, who out of sheer wickedness refused to pay pensioners N2.4bn pension and gratuities, N400m workers leave bonus, N700m subventions to parastatals and tertiary institutions and remit N2.4bn four months cooperative society’s deductions from workers salary, preferring to use over N3bn borrowed fund to provide luxury for himself, his wife and children alone.
“This is wickedness!

“Most importantly, did our late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, whom Fayemi and his so-called progressives claim as their role-model live in any government house, not to talk of building an Emperor-like House for himself? Did late Michael Adekunle Ajasin build a monarchical government house for himself? Did Baba Lateef Jakande live in any government house? These are great Yoruba sons, whose recorded landmark achievements as Premier of the old Western Region and governors of Lagos State and the old Ondo State respectively. The duo of Ajasin and Jakande were able to impact tremendously on their States because they would not like to waste public fund to provide luxury for themselves.

While reiterating Governor Fayose’s avowed commitment to the masses, Olayinka said; “Left for Governor Fayose, he won’t use that aristocratic government house because it is a symbol of oppression in itself. He will prefer to live where Ekiti people can easily see him, touch him, eat with him and discuss the progress of the State together. “But abandoning it would amount to colossal waste of public funds, let me assure you Governor Fayose will not hide himself from the masses” Olayinka declared.

This is obscene taste. Whether money is stolen or not this is corrupt glorification of vanity. Instructively, Fayose will remove everything and buy new ones.

Kindda disappointed. Was looking out for a dazzling gold-plated suite, with corresponding golden interior decor and furnitures.

Aggrieved peoples congress of Nairaland APCN, oya over to you.

When I say APC/PDP are one and same, in some case APC can even be worst than PDP, they are stealing with one hand and screaming and calling someone else thief. armed-robber peoples congress. Come and defend your debtor doctor governor who refused to pay civil servants because he lost in election

50million naira on just beds! Walahi these politicians don finish us. Later some peeps will come and defend APC. Naija politicians are bunch of rogues, whether they are in PDP,APC,CPC,NPP,APGA,PPA,UNC..........YYY,ZZZ. Lets forget our party affiliations, join hands and chase these i.diots out of the office and make Naija corruption free just as we have just been certified Ebola free by WHO.

Government of the Elite...by the Elite and for the Elite....same sh*t the Elitists in Alausa have been engaged in.

Only if Fayose can probe Fayemi successfully before i believe all this jargons coming out from his mouth.

This thug is trying very hard to whip up sentiments against a former governor who did everything to turn around the face of ekiti state. It doesn't matter to Fayose, if he compromised his own security by revealing little unnecessary details about the house just to nail the former governor in the court of public opinion.

Smh!

Must you display your stupidityy ?

So is he going to throw away the beds and buy new ones for him and his wife? He should get down on his job as the new governor of Ekiti state and stop lamenting.

Only the fooools will believe Fayose. All he knows doing best is propaganda. Thesame way he said fayemi left debt of N89B, eventually it was just N23M. We know fayose to be tout, that tendency will always manifest

As a progressive Gov, Fayemi needed a progressive bedroom. Lol

I recalled how he arrogantly stated on Channels TV that the 5 thousand naira he pays to the aged was too much for them. That they hardly exhaust it. Yet d progressive Gov was buying bedding for 50M.

Make him VP, and I bet his beddings will be half of d budget

brownlord:


Must you display your stupidityy ?

Your own stupidity is well documented on Nairaland. Everyone knows you as a BrownFool

...these are all lies...there is no chance in hell the bed is worth that much..

this guy better face his job and quit the witch hunting...

the decor is actually modest..and tasteful.....

NgeneUkwenu:


My own stupidity is well documented on Nairaland. Everyone knows me as a foolish transgendered hired troll

Ok

And it is everything u read that u beliv abi.
This gov of ekiti is that what pple of ekiti elected u 2 do, yapping around n nd media bout what d former gov did nd did not do.

APC = Corruption personified. Only f00ls take their media ranting serious.

Sahara Desert Repoters can never reveal such massive corruption of APC.

Where is the obscene opulence? I will like to see the dump where Fayose intends to live in.
Populism of corn eating, paraga drinking and dump site living, this is not what we want in Ekiti.

It's foolish to support either one of the two fools. They are both cut from the same wool. Most of the people in the country is living on less than $5 a day while their thieflicians leaders are stealing their future dry. Stop supporting any of this fools. They are not good for the future of the country. Both PDP and APC are corrupt. It's for the people to look for new generation of leaders.

If his Fayose's hope to become relevance is by demonizing Fayemi, then he is on a long thing.

Nosyke:
It is a real wa.

Electric controlled Jacuzzi, body massaging bed?.......chai chai, chai.........diarisgodu ooooooo

When women still die of post partum complications, workers are being owed, many roads still unrepaired. To even think that the money used to fund such brazen profilgacy was borrowed even makes it more pathetic..........

Have you seen the bed and the jacuzzi?

My problem with these APC guys is their hypocrisy. Now that their party is involved, many of them are saying people should not believe everything that they read. But when it has to do with the federal government or PDP, they will want us to believe everything we read. What kind of double standard is this?


Why canonize their party members and declare members of other parties anathemas- even when all of them commit the same sin?

This governor is making too much noise. Leave d former governor and face ur work ! U don already win d election get on d job quit whinning

Nosyke:

I did read the post, didnt you?

I bet you did. The next four years will bring more of this so brace yourself.

Fayose...scoring cheap points since 1800.

malele:

there is no doubt that you can less than 12 years old. which,I belive that your brain cannot contribute a meaningful thing to our society right now you think we do not know the fayose tacit fayose want to covert the new government house to hotel so that it will create more revenue to his party since the fayose assumed the office have you hear him say something meaningful?except absurd remark fayose just criticizes fayemi because of his selfish interest not because he was fighting for mass hope you have free from hunger since fayose is now a governor very useless and laziness people always displaying their mentality in the public enemy of progress fayemi have nothing to regret but you people will regret why you vote fayose government house is not a fayemi property be wise

No way that bed is worth a million dollars. More like $4500.
