TSA: Fayose vows not to attend governors’
meeting with Federal Government
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said
he will not attend the meeting called by the
Federal Government with State governors on the
Treasury Single Account, TSA, pointing out
categorically that the State Government was not
interested in the TSA policy, which he said was a
fraud against Nigeria and its people.
Mr. Fayose said in a statement, Sunday, by his
spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, that “the Federal
Government should rather remove the veil on the
face of REMITA so that Nigerians can know the
real owners, through whom the All Progressives
Congress (APC) is siphoning Nigeria money to
fund Kogi and Bayelsa States governorship
election.”
The governor also said; “from all intent and
purposes, this TSA policy is aimed at recouping
money spent on the last general elections by the
APC, as well as raise money for future elections,
especially the Kogi and Bayelsa States
gubernatorial poll.
“It is also meant to enrich some individuals for
doing virtually
nothing and that can be seen from the discovery
of N25 billion that already accrued to just a single
company in one month!
“How can the Federal Government justify a
transaction in which a single company gets one
percent, amounting to N25 billion in one month?
“In this economic situation that Nigeria is,
shouldn’t the one percent commission have been
negotiated downward to like 0.1 percent which
would have reduced the N25 billion to N2.5
billion?
“Even manufacturing companies, with thousands
of employees don’t make N25 billion profit in one
month.
“Therefore, what Nigerians are expecting from the
Federal Government is explanation on the alleged
N25 billion naira scam already associated with the
operation of the TSA, instead of calling State
Governors to a meeting that is aimed at imposing
the TSA policy on the
States.”
Maintaining that he will not attend the Federal
Government’s meeting with State governors on
the TSA, Governor Fayose said the Federal
Government cannot force its policies on States
that are federating units in the Nigeria federation.
“Ekiti State is entitled to its own policies and it is
not under any
obligation to accept Federal Government policies,
especially the TSA that is already robed in the
garment of fraud.
“I therefore wish to state categorically that Ekiti
State is not interested in the TSA policy and since
the State is not interested, I, as the custodian of
the popular mandate of the entire people of the
State will not attend any meeting called by the
Federal Government on
the TSA,” he said. |
