Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose,
has accused his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, of spending N50m on
beds in his and his wife’s bedrooms in the newly built Ekiti State Government
House.

He claimed in a statement made
available to journalists in Ado-Ekiti on
Tuesday that what was spent on the two bedrooms, their toilets and bathrooms was in the region of N100m.

The statement titled “N3.3bn new
Government House Is Fayemi’s Show of
Wickedness To Ekiti People,” was signed
by his Special Assistant on Information
and Social Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka.

But Fayemi, through his media aide,
Olayinka Oyebode, said the allegation
was more about The Comedy of
Errors. He advised Fayose to stop the
theatre of absurd.

The statement by Olayinka described the new government house as an act of
insensitivity to the plight of Ekiti people, many of whom, could not afford to feed once in a day.

According to the statement, no
progressive-minded Ekiti person would
see the “out-of-this-world luxury”
provided with over N3.3bn borrowed
funds for Fayemi, his wife and children
and will not weep for the state and its people.

It claimed that the bed on which Fayemi slept before he left government was N30m while that of his wife was over N20m.

The statement read in part, “Between
Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100m.

“How can a responsible government use
borrowed funds 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 more than once in a day?

“People should ask the former 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 employment for our
teeming 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' salaries, owing them two-
month salaries before he left. A Fayemi, who out of sheer wickedness refused to pay pensioners N2.4bn pension and gratuities; N400m workers leave bonus, N700m subventions to parastatals and tertiary institutions and remit N2.4bn
four months’ cooperative society’s
deductions from workers salaries
preferring to use N3.3bn borrowed funds to provide luxury for himself, his wife and children alone.
