Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State on Friday came hard on
the last economic retreat by the president, governors and other
stakeholders and described the gathering called National
Economic Council (NEC) retreat as “mere jamboree and waste of
over N250 million public fund.”
He said the money the Federal Government spent on the retreat
he attended and was part of, would have been better useful if it
was given to empower small businesses such as pepper sellers
to boost their trade.
Governor Fayose claimed in a statement that “the retreat has
further exposed that the All Progressives Congress (APC)
government of President Muhammadu Buhari lacked economic
blueprint,” saying “the president is still talking the way he talked
while seeking for votes from Nigerians.”
According to Fayose in the statement by his Special Assistant on
Public Communications and New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka, “it is
funny that the same set of people who as governors, ruined the
economy of their states were the resource persons at the
retreat.”
He said: “What solution can the likes of former governor of Ekiti
State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who as governor plunged the state
into unprecedented debt by borrowing money to build governor’s
lodge, pavilion and uncompleted civic centre proffer to the
economy of Nigeria?
“It is strange that close to one year after President Buhari was
sworn in, he still cannot tell Nigerians one major economic step
his government has taken to salvage the economy.
“He has not taken any key step and there is no economic team.
That is strange!”
Fayose continued: “I was at the retreat and I can tell Nigerians
categorically that it was just a jamboree. It was a waste of over
N250 million public fund because most of the resource persons
were the same people who ran their states aground.
“Instead of wasting over N250 million on such a jamboree, it
would have been better if the fund is given to those downtrodden
Nigerians who are trading with as little as N5,000.
“For instance, at N10,000 each, N250 million will go round
25,000 pepper sellers whose capital is not more than N5,000
and that would go a long way in boosting their trade.”

Although Fayose is right, I really don't know what the beef between him and PMB,they just have to settle it on time.

Fayose is an idiot period.

Fayose is a 2 faced liar. He rented an helicopter to bring an accused lawmaker into town and then paid a rented crowd to come say rubbish to buhari and wasted about 62 million according to estimates apart from the holdup in fajuyi area for several hours causing economic suffering and the harrasment of people by the pdp thugs imported from all the 16 local govt. Fayose in a better country should be locked away in an airtight cell with just a strawhole to breath and the key thrown away.

uncle Lai still remains the best whenit comes to lying.

#IStandWithFayose

This man will never be intimidated, he can never be wheedled by the idiosyncratic cluelessness purported by Buhari and his APC clan.

Only if he is part of the plans, he wouldn't have condemned it. Stealing is no corruption people. We know how much could have been declared ifhis likes organise such retreat.

Buhari is the commander in Chief of Fulani herdsmen,
El rufia is a little devil/sadist who drives joy in making the poor cry.
All these Top apc members secure juicy appointments for their kids in CBN and NNPC while the jobless Sai Buhari chanting Zombie youths wallow in poverty.
As usual the Zombies are free to quote me.

It's like Fayose likes pepper a lot.

I can imagine him eating his kpomo with plenty pepper inside and cartah dripping from his nose.

When won't he say such... . Differently he didn't understand the high power intellectual discussion

U read the briefing and I was impressed

Take fayose to a court room he would tell u the judges are wasting there time

A thug is a thug and lasts intellectual reasoning

I pity Ekiti people.
