The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State , Dr Kayode Fayemi, has challenged Governor Ayodele Fayose to a public debate on how the two of them ran Ekiti finances in office .

Fayemi said the 800 - page handover note he personally gave to Fayose when he assumed office contained how the finances he received while in office were managed .

The immediate past Minister of Mines and Steel Development spoke at a press briefing on Sunday after the inauguration of the state campaign council .

“I challenge Fayose to meet me in a debate and let us discuss what we did with the resources that we held in trust for Ekiti , that way we will know who is a better manager of Ekiti resources or who is a prodigal son ,” he said

Fayemi stated this while responding to an allegation by the Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party ’s Chairman , Gboyega Oguntuase , that the former governor mismanaged N165 bn allocation apart from other grants as governor between 2010 and 2014.
Oguntuase had in a statement in Ado -Ekiti on Sunday wondered why Fayemi still took N25 bn bond and N 35 bn commercial loans with nothing to show for the funds .

“In 2011, Fayemi got N 40 . 5bn as monthly statutory allocations . In 2012, he got N 39 .8 bn . In 2013 , he got N 44 .3 bn and in 2014 , he got N 40 .1 bn .Whereas , the Fayose administration got N 28 . 2bn in 2015, N 18 .8 bn in 2016 and N25 .6 bn in 2017 .

“Apart from the above monthly allocations , Fayemi still got regular funds from the Excess Crude Oil Account , and IGR among others . Despite what Fayemi got , he still borrowed N 25 bn from the capital market and took N31 bn commercial loans . The question is : What did he do with the money? Nothing .

“The N25 bn bond and commercial loans , through which he mortgaged the finances of our dear state for 20 years , were spent on nothing . He proposed an event centre , it was never completed . He said he would build a new Governor ’s Office , he only scraped a parcel of land near the House of Assembly Complex and did nothing . His new Ojaba Market , for which he erected a billboard at the entrance of the palace of Ewi , never saw the light of the day ,” Oguntuase said .

But responding , Fayemi said , “The handover note contained both financial and administrative details of what we did in four years .

“ I urge the PDP and others who wish to find out to visit every single community in Ekiti State . They would find what I did with Ekiti money. There is no community in Ekiti today that you can visit , even the hamlets, that you would not find the footprints of Fayemi.

“In every community , you would find schools and hospitals and community roads and markets that we built ; you would find civic centres that we built . They are in all villages and towns in Ekiti . No fewer than 100 people benefited from the social security scheme that we provided . There are communities that received on the average N10 m for social security scheme on regular basis .

“You will find those that we employed into the youth volunteer , Peace Corps, the teaching profession and many others .”
