The Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has described the newly built Government House in the state as a show of wickedness to the people of the state by the immediate past Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

Fayose, in a statement by his Special Assistant Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said the new government house was an act of insensitivity to the plight of Ekiti State people, many of whom cannot afford to feed once in a day.
Speaking with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, Olayinka said no progressive minded Ekiti State person would see the out-of-this-world luxury provided with over N3.3 billion borrowed fund for Fayemi, his wife and children and will not weep for the state and its people.

Olayinka, who said Fayose was alarmed at the waste of Ekiti State resources to provide comfort for a single family out of the thousands of households in the state, added: “The governor would have preferred to sell out the property and use the fund to provide basic amenities and employment opportunities for the people.”

He disclosed that Fayemi was planning to buy a helicopter if he had returned to office for a second term, adding: “The plan was for Fayemi to run government from the comfort of Oke-Ayoba Government House and move from there to anywhere he wanted without the people seeing him.“That’s also the reason he (Fayemi) refused to renovate the Governor’s Office, leaving it in a state of disrepair because he knew that he was not going to use the office during his second term.

“Also, contract for the maintenance of the property was already awarded for N150 million per annum. “When we visited the Government House for the first time yesterday, Mr. Governor was like: how I wish I can sell off this place or turn it to commercial use.

“It is simply wicked for a governor to be more interested in this manner of ostentatious comfort at the expense of the people.

“The bed on which Fayemi slept before he left government alone costs over N30 million!

“That of his wife costs over N20 million!

“Between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100 million.

“How can a responsible government use borrowed fund to provide this kind of luxury for the governor and his family alone in a state where a lot of people cannot afford to feed once in a day?

“People should ask the outgone governor what was really wrong with the abandoned governor’s lodge used by his (Fayemi) predecessors? “Shouldn’t such funds expended on the hilltop edifice have been used to resuscitate the moribund textile factory in Ado-Ekiti that was turned to lock-up shops to provide employments for our teeming unemployed youths?“Also, was Fayemi living in that manner of opulence before he became governor?

“Was he sleeping on a body-massaging bed and bathing in an electric controlled Jacuzzi?

“Here is Fayemi, who could not pay workers salary, owing them two months’ salary before he left.

“A Fayemi, who out of sheer wickedness refused to pay pensioners N2.4 billion pension and gratuities, N400 million workers leave bonus, N700 million subventions to parastatals and tertiary institutions and remit N2.4 billion four months cooperative society’s deductions from workers salary, preferring to use over N3 billion borrowed fund to provide luxury for himself, his wife and children alone.

“This is wickedness!

“Most importantly, did our late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, whom Fayemi and his so-called progressives claim as their role-model, live in any government house, not to talk of building an Emperor-like house for himself?

“Did late Michael Adekunle Ajasin build a monarchical government house for himself?

“Did Baba Lateef Jakande live in any government house?

“These are great Yoruba sons, whose recorded landmark achievements as Premier of the old Western Region and governors of Lagos State and the old Ondo State respectively.

“The duo of Ajasin and Jakande were able to impact tremendously on their states because they would not like to waste public fund to provide luxury for themselves.”

While reiterating Governor Fayose’s avowed commitment to the masses, Olayinka said: “Left for Governor Fayose, he won’t use that aristocratic government house because it is a symbol of oppression in itself.“He will prefer to live where Ekiti people can easily see him, touch him, eat with him and discuss the progress of the state together.

“But abandoning it would amount to colossal waste of public funds.

“Let me assure you Governor Fayose will not hide himself from the masses.”

Only fools will believe what these idiots are saying .

remember fayemi left the handover notes of 1500 pages, I guess it explains more of his reckless spending n borrowing, than the self-style stomach infrastructure which he claimed he does better than fayose.

Ostentatious life

Can these be really TRUE

I am not moved by the construction of the building but embittered by the fact that it was with borrowed fund. I think Awo built cocoa house with cocoa money and not borrowed money.

“He will prefer to live where Ekiti people can easily see him, touch him, eat with him and discuss the progress of the state together.

“But abandoning it would amount to colossal waste of public funds.

Am I the only one that sees Hypocrisy and double speaking here?

It's quite shameful that the APC supporters chose to overlook the stinking rot of Fayemi's government- to the extent that the great people of Ekiti state are being labeled ''hungry'',instead they threw all their weights on criticizing and insulting the presidency. The truth is gradually coming out...

The reasons why E-11 in connivance with their allies were fighting tooth and nail to stop the inauguration of Gov. Fayose is gradually becoming public knowledge.

*CORRUPTION - *DEBT - *ELITIST & OSTENTATIOUS LIFESTYLES - *SELFISH INTERESTS

Thieving, pretentious, self-acclaimed progressives always deceiving their gullible followers that they are better than PDP.

If these allegations are true..,he shuld convert d property to a five star hotel nd employ ppl to run it so it creates revenue/employment for d govt/ppl...,Its sad tho dt thses state govs have a low sense of priority. Putting d state in huge debts over unecesari luxury instead of creating more employment opportunities/investment environment is daft wn they earn enuff as salaries already..,Imagine even owing workers 2months salary!!..,God help naija!

naija people express themselves with much sentiments, everyone in naija is a criminal but everyone criticizes just because we r not yet on that HOT seat.

fayemi is a true criminal................ he enjoyed an expensive apartment with his family


fayose isn't a criminal but he deceived OBASANJO wit a poultry farm, AV U ALL 4GOTTEN. poultry farm with birds that lasted 48 hours. Ayo Fayose first became the governor of Ekiti State on the 29th of May 2003. He was impeached on the 16th of October 2006. Among other criminal charges, Mr. Fayose was alleged to have stolen over N400 million of state funds during his truncated turbulent reign. In the failed Ekiti State Poultry Project only, this alleged criminal diverted over N860m in a deal convoluted with extremely messy transactions full of several falsified sums and “make-up figures”. so is he the one to shout about cos fayemi spent about 100million on bedrooms. NONSENSE


jonathan never had shoes but can now consume 3million naira food daily


madueke isn't a criminal but scared to be probed


bankole can buy touch light for thousands of naira and never joined VIGILANTEE GROUP. touch light for wetin..............


olubunmi ete renovated a house for almost half a billion and nothing happened
In September 2007, she faced a committee of MPs over accusations that she had authorised the spending of 628 million Naira (about US$5 million) on renovations of her official residence and that of her deputy, and the purchase of 12 official cars meant for the House of Representatives

jonathan can build a private university for CAN president and no one cares...................... NAWA OOOO



James Ibori for example was a former criminal who went on to rob Delta State blind. It took the British authorities to put him where he belongs-jail! The one who escaped from Britain dressed as a woman Mr. Alamieyeseigha was pardoned by Mr. Goodluck Jonathan and he is expected to rise again politically.



[The Nigerian government and judiciary failed to put Ibori away, but the court in London sentenced him for his criminal activities in Nigerian and in the UK, a very strong indication that the law system in Nigeria is massively compromised and corrupt]



[Diepreye Alamieyeseigha escaped from the UK allegedly disguising as a woman. This former corrupt governor of Bayelsa was pardoned by the corrupt government of Goodluck Jonathan]


Omisore who stood trial for the murder of the former Attorney-General Bola Ige is now a heavy-weight politician again. Under the type of political dispensation in Nigeria whereby the ruling party is omnipotent, all sorts of atrocities can be covered up or merely swept under the already dirty carpets. Who does not know that those who removed the cap and glasses of Baba Ige are the same people who took his life?


Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Mustafa Adebayo Balogun (Tafa Balogun) was forced to retire from the force because of corruption. The bulky dude had salted away a humongous sum of N13 billion (all in all, a total of N16 billion)and by April 4, 2005, he was arraigned before the Federal High Court, Abuja on charges of money laundering, theft and other sources. The money in question was meant for the Nigerian Police.

alao akala....... his child was caught with hard currencies in his car trunk, nothing happened and we still want him back as PDP gov in OYO STATE.


NIGERIANS, WAKE UP AND FIGHT CORRUPTION AND STOP ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT 2 PARTIES AND THEIR CRIME REPS.


WE NEED REVOLUTION......................
