(full Story & Photos) Fayemi Explains Why He ‘bought 2 Beds For N50m’. (see Why) by StevinMorgan(m): 8:20pm On Oct 25, 2014 |
Immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Kayode John Fayemi has explained why he built the multi-mullion naira controversial Government House in the state. The governor has been under attack lately for lavishing the state funds on the government lodge. His predecessor, Ayo Fayose had claimed that the governor bought two beds for N50 million naira. However, embattled Fayemi in a publication that showcased his achievements in Ekiti, explained why he embarked on the project. He declared that ‘’The administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti State places much premium on infrastructure which it believes is a catalyst for modernizing the state. “Infrastructural development is the second policy thrust of the 8-point agenda of the Fayemi administration otherwise known as the ‘Roadmap to Ekiti Recovery'”. The publication reads thus: ‘’Desirous of being remembered for good by citizens of the State, the Fayemi administration conceived what it called ‘Legacy Projects’, bequeathed to the generations yet unborn. ‘’In conceiving the projects, the administration took cognizance of the need to execute projects that accord with the needs of the government and people of Ekiti and critically also, positively project the Land of Honour in the comity of states in Nigeria. ‘’Not ready to be encumbered by the meagre allocations from the Federation Account, as the state is 35th out of 36th on the nation’s revenue ladder, the administration secured a N25 billion bond from the Capital Market. ‘’Upon accessing the first tranche of N20 billion, the administration immediately embarked on the mission to change the face of the state with the Legacy Projects which the new Government House is one of them.” According to Fayemi, ‘’Ekiti State has lived with the challenge of having a befitting Government House since the state was created on October 1, 1996. The first Military Administrator, as he was designated, Col. Inua Bawa (rtd), was holed-up in a borrowed apartment before building an official residence with bricks sourced from Ire-Ekiti Burnt Bricks Factory. ‘’Successive administrations since then made do with some buildings in the Government House complex, including the present abode of the state’s number one citizen known as the Osuntokun Lodge. The fact that the Lodge lacked many facilities befitting of the residence of a governor and therefore “very inferior” to other Government Houses in the country, made the need for a new Government House in Ekiti very imperative. ‘’This inadequacy came even more to the fore at the death of the former Deputy Governor, Mrs. Funmilayo Olayinka, with guests pouring in from all over the country to commiserate with the government and people of the state on the monumental loss. To add to the state’s sorrow, the governor could not receive two sets of guests at the same time. ‘’But that rather embarrassing experience has become history with the construction of the new Government House situated on the Ayoba Hills in Ado-Ekiti, the new edifice, like the biblical ‘House on a Hill’ can be seen from all parts of the city. ‘’While dismissing the claims of the opposition that the project is self-serving, Fayemi argued that the new Government House belongs to the people of Ekiti and not his personal property. ‘’He added that it would continue to serve as the official residence of all coming governors, long after he would have left office. The new Government House, will go down as an important statement of the New Ekiti that the Fayemi administration has always thought possible: It is an Ekiti State that plays second fiddle to none”.

No need for all the long story. Ekiti people should tell fayemi to come and carry his N100m beds away and while he is at it, the money should be deducted from his pension fund. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Those beds are less than 2m each. And the guy left the beds in the govt house for the new gov. who is a known thief, who was impeached for stealing 2.2bn poultry funds. Money collected by Fayose in 2006,no poultry. Tell me where's the crime in building a house for future governors (Fayose inclusive) of Ekiti state. The thing is Fayose is there to steal again, so he wants to play a fast one on Fayemi, using him as the "fall guy". We know that game. 2 Likes |

I am not a supporter of Fayose and can never be. But the guy, irrespective of his loudness and hooliganism style of his govt, one should not trash truth coming out from him. With level of poverty in Ekiti to be precise why should Fayemi as educated he is, a trumpet of good governance descend to that level of using money that can empower many Ekiti people for buying M50 bed? In Fayemi case, one can begin to share some nonsensical statement that our so call brilliant age are worst than Abacha and IBB. If they had opportunity of leadership role they will finish this country more. |

You aren't intelligent at all. In a state where more than 90% wallow in abject poverty wth high rate of unemployed youths, a governor who owe workers 3 months salary borrowed 3.3bill Naira 2 build a governor house with projected annual maintainance cost of 150mill and u are here opening ur stinking mouth in defence of him. Are U stewpid or something? Do U know dat d same Ekiti has what it takes 2 improve IGR if only government focuses on Agric. Omo ale Ekiti ni e. Rexnegro: 2 Likes |

Rexnegro:My dear nairalander,please stop abuse. You can make your opinion known in a cool sentence. Back to Fayemi mata....the federal allocation to the state was so poor...do you only govern the state to spend the fed alawi...you should boost the state IGR too...if you ve been to Ekiti,then you ll know what 50m NGN can do in their life...Ekiti is so poor that they don't need new governors lounge... How much do you get paid to justify 50 million nigeria naira for 2 beds...Nigerian youth sells their sincerity for few thousand naira...you should say NO and stop being APC E- thug...you can live a life of yours... My friend, good mattress for Obama to sleep shouldn't cost above $300.00 equivalent to 48,000.00....their re expensive bed I know,but they re for celebrity spending their hard earns money as they want...you don't spend ekiti state money where kids lack access to portable water like you re a president of luxembourg or Qatar. 2 Likes |
