The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has
accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of awarding
the repainting of the Governor’s Office to his
“blood brother” at the cost of N200m.
It also accused the governor of awarding a
contract to put marble in front of the
Government House, which he (Fayose) had
earlier described as too expensive; and relaying
of asphalt on an already asphalted road leading
to the lodge.
In a statement by the State Publicity Secretary,
Taiwo Olatunbosun, on Sunday, the APC said,
“To add salt to injury, artisans working on the
marble are all imported from Ibadan, when many
Ekiti artisans could do the job. This a man who
claims to be a friend of the masses.
“He is repainting the Governor’s Office,
awarded by direct labour at the cost of N200m
awarded to his blood brother.
“He told the Permanent Secretary, General
Administration Department and Head of Service
to find alternative entrance for civil servants,
who work within the Governor’s office building
because he doesn’t want to be meeting the
‘evil servants’ while coming in at the main
entrance.
“This has been effected as civil servants in the
Governor’s office now pass through the back to
their offices. Yet this is the class of people he
professed to be their friend before the election
and he has also cancelled the appointment of
eight permanent secretaries that were legally
appointed after passing necessary examinations
according to the service rules.”
Fayose, who, however, spoke through his Chief
Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, denied
awarding the repainting contract to his brother
as alleged by the APC.
Adelusi said the contract was awarded to an
indigenous firm and the owner is not a brother
to the governor.
He also denied the allegations that the marble
contract was awarded to a non-indigenous firm.
“We are not like APC that pauperised the people
for the four years. All the contractors handling
the job including the marble are from Ekiti.
They are, however, free to source their
materials from anywhere in and outside Ekiti,”
Adelusi added.
Olatunbosun, who also alleged that Fayose had
not kept to his promise to give better life to
the people, regretted that while it was the
standard practice in other states to celebrate
their governors after a month in office, the
experience in Ekiti State was that of gloom,
anger, frustrations and disappointment by the
people.

Just for clarity, he is repainting the old governors office and not the new one. Thanks

The rice has started growing in their stomachs.

What kind of paint is that?
Will you be able to scratch off diamonds off the walls

O set eh o set eh.

APC always criticizing and condemning as usual as if they are saints.

Dulux paint is very costly na

So? Mehn, this apc can't play politics. Am a youth and I myself know that you only cry fowl when the contract is not properly executed/ breached

Those shouting that the price is too much should knw that before painting a house, properties are moved to a separate location. Payment for doing this plus labour and relocation fee for the affected individuals is included ..

Yes a brother is the highest supporter and loyalist anyone can ever have so they deserve everything.

Isn't that we we were saying here when he was running all over the place shouting about the cost of a bed, a bedroom, indebtedness of the state, etc etc?? We were of the opinion that rather than expend so much energy trying to crucify his predecessor in the media, he should simply call the ECFF guys, hand them necessary documents/evidence, and have them prosecute Fayemi if they find anything on him, while he settles down to the business of governance. Now the chicken has come home to roost. It's gonna be a four year festival of accusations and counter accusations.

Sorry for Ekiti people.

The tide has changed.APC has become the opposition and the complainant.But when Fayemi bought 50million naira bed,APC didn't complain.Bunch of hypocrites.

Keep complaining,you have 4 long years to do that.

APC have the opportunity but i guess they mis-use it. Fayose can decide to award the contract to any1 he want but the nain issue is that the project must be executed.

All that for N200 million??

Mind you, that's more than $1 million.

That's the beauty of true democracy. People and the opposition being the custodian of government resources. Tell me how fayose will steal without looking at his back now.

The EFCc won't be needed in Ekiti, the opposition are the watchdog.

PDP practise mature politics by speaking truth and criticising as an opposition in APC states, the reverse is the case with APC where lies, deciet, mumuring, whining, thuggery are their game. Always crying wolf when they sight a lamb.
