The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has asked Governor Ayo Fayose to explain the reason for applying for N9.6b loan as part of the special Federal Government facility for states owing salary.
It said there was no need to draw from a facility approved for states indebted to workers, since the governor had always claimed he did not owe salaries.
The APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in a statement that the governor’s explanation became pertinent against the backdrop of persistent claims that he did not owe workers.
He added that Fayose’s explanation became necessary on account of Ekiti people’s experience with him on the alleged history of lack of accountability and transparency in the running of the state’s affairs.
“It is difficult to trust a one-man government where the House of Assembly doesn’t have any voice and the Executive Council is not functioning, while the accountant-general and the auditor-general sign documents without questions on what they are asked to do by the governor,” Olatunbosun said.
