The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has
accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of claiming
projects executed by his predecessor, Dr.
Kayode Fayemi, as his own to mark his first 100
days in office.
The opposition party described the first 100
days of Fayose’s administration as “a
celebration of fortunes reversal” for the state,
saying all the gains achieved under former
Governors Segun Oni and Fayemi had been
eroded by Fayose’s government of “deceit
founded on impunity and violence.”
In a statement by the APC State Publicity
Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, the party said
while both Oni and Fayemi raised the bar in
modern governance founded on rule of law and
due process, Fayose had no respect for the rule
of law, due process and civil approach in
government and the governed relations.
Accusing Fayose of falsehood in claiming
Fayemi’s administration’s projects as his
projects within 100 days, Olatubosun added that
“19 of the presidential campaign buses allocated
to Ekiti State were donated to the police few
days ago for security duties as part of Fayose’s
achievements.”
“The asphalt overlay at Fayose Market he
commissioned is an MDG project already paid
for by the Fayemi administration. The asphalt
plant he commissioned was bought and paid for
by Fayemi’s administration. Fayose only
received the equipment when they were
shipped into Nigeria.
“The Mathew Street road is the joke of the
century as Fayose only fixed the culvert and
graded some portions of the road which he now
commissioned as a project. This is nothing short
of taking Ekiti people for a ride. It is chicanery
of the highest form.”
“Now that it has been established that Fayose
did nothing in his first 100 days in office, we
wish to say that so far, Fayose has set back the
hand of clock of progress in Ekiti State through
cloudy management of public funds and
violence on the good people of Ekiti State,
including taking from the poor to expand the
coast of his mindless acquisition of wealth.
“Credible evidence shows that the governor is
acquiring landed properties in choice areas of
the state. A plot of land opposite Fayose market
has just been acquired by the governor. How
can Fayose take another man’s projects as his
projects?
“What is he doing with Ekiti money running
into billions? Why is he holding such large sums
of money and yet he can’t pay salaries? Are all
these what Fayose promised during his
campaign,” Olatubosun queried.
The APC spokesman said while Fayose was
deceiving Ekiti people with fake projects within
100 days, Fayemi had concrete projects he
executed to the applause of Ekiti people during
his 100 days in office.
Meanwhile, a former military Governor of the
old Western State, Major General Adeyinka
Adebayo ( retd.) has commended Fayose over
the giant stride taken by him within the short
time he assumed office.
According to a statement by Fayose’s Chief
Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, Adebayo
while receiving the Governor in his Iyin-Ekiti
home on Wednesday said Fayose had done well
from what he had heard people say about him.
