Fayemi Did Not Leave Any Positive Legacies Behind -fayose by Katowice: 9:25pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
said his government was destroying the legacies
of huge debt, unpaid salaries, white elephant
projects, bad governance and corruption left
behind by the All Progressives Congress
government of Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
Fayose said never again shall Ekiti State be
governed by those who will borrow billions of
naira to plant flowers and create comfort for
themselves alone.
Governor Fayose, who was reacting to Fayemi’s
interview in some newspapers in which he said
that “his legacy was being destroyed”, said no
responsible government will sustain a legacy of
over N86 billion debt that was incurred on
projects with no direct bearing on the welfare of
the people.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said it
was necessary for Fayemi’s negative legacies to
be destroyed, adding: “Even in the APC, his
legacy of betrayal of Senator Bola Tinubu, the
man who made him governor, is being
destroyed.”
He added: “Today, Fayemi has been ostracized
by those who assisted him to Office because he
has betrayed all of them, including Tinubu.
“Does he then wants us to sustain the legacy of
serial betrayal of his benefactors?
“If he served Ekiti and its people well, why was
it that he was roundly defeated in all the 16
local councils in the State in the June 21, 2014
governorship election and his party was also
defeated 16-0 in the Presidential, National
Assembly and House of Assembly elections?
“Even his own party men described his electoral
defeat as the worst in Nigeria.”
The governor, who said it was shameful that
Fayemi, who left two months’ salary and four
months cooperative and unions deductions
from workers salary, as well as pensioners
pensions and gratuities unpaid could be talking
about his legacies being destroyed.
Fayose said: “Did Fayemi leave behind any
positive legacy in Ekiti?
“When Fayemi became governor, he choose to
close down two universities established by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of
Segun Oni and abandoned the Oba Adejugbe
General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, claiming that the
State could not fund more than one university.
“The same Fayemi, who said Ekiti had no money
to fund more than one university preferred to
take N25 billion bond to plant flowers that
never germinated up till now and build a new
governor’s lodge, civic centre, pavilion and
execute other irrelevant projects.
“Furniture alone, in the N3.3bn governor’s
lodge that he built for himself and his wife cost
N604.9 million and Fayemi wants such legacy of
profligacy to be sustained in Ekiti? We are sorry
to tell him that we won’t sustain such legacy of
waste.
“Even vehicles bought for traditional rulers and
political appointees, his government did not pay
and uncompleted Oba Adejugbe General
Hospital and State Pavilion were commissioned
with fanfare.
“Today, Ekiti State is under the yoke of debt,
courtesy of Fayemi’s mismanagement of the
State resources and what we are destroying are
those legacies of mis-governance he left behind.
“One bad news that we must however tell
Fayemi is that; we won’t only destroy his legacy
of mis-governance and betrayal in Ekiti, we will
also make sure that economic devourers like
him will never taste power in the State.” |
