APC, Fayose Disagree Over Ex-deputy Gov’s Tomb - The Punch by Nobody: 9:23am On Jul 14, 2015
THE All Progressives
Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of desecrating the tomb of the late deputy
governor of the state,
Funmilayo Olayinka.
Olayinka served as deputy to former Governor Kayode
Fayemi between October 16, 2010 and April 6, 2013, when
she died of cancer.

In a statement by the APC Chairman for the Ado Ekiti Local Government Area, Mr.
D.O. Adigun, the party
expressed reservation that Fayose was “building a women centre within the
confine of the park and
almost right on the tomb.” “To us, this is a disservice and deliberate, extreme
partisanship to fight and dishonour Moremi even in death. There are lots of open and undesignated spaces across the state
capital that could be used for the so-called women centre,” the party said.

But Fayose, who reacted through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said building a four-storey edifice (Women Development
Centre) in front of the late deputy governor’s tomb could not amount to desecration.
“The more the APC spew out arrant nonsense as they
have been doing, the more the party is hated by Ekiti people, who overwhelmingly made Fayose their governor,” he said. Olayinka explained that the
WDC being built in honour of the late former deputy
governor would serve as a centre for addressing issues
relating to women in the state.
“To Governor Fayose,
dumping the late deputy governor’s corpse in an open space with no benefit to the people is not enough.
Rather, while the tomb
remains where it is, the
government has deemed it necessary to put up an edifice in front of the tomb in
her honour and for the
benefit of women in the state.

“If the APC people in the state are seeing that as desecration of her tomb, too bad,” Olayinka added.

If it is true that His
Exellency wanted to
immortalise the late Deputy Governor, the building should be constructed behind the tomb and not infront of tomb. By and large, we should not see every step taken to better
the lot of the populace as politics.

The land is a small but fenced plot and the tomb is situated at the extreme end of the land. The front was a mere 'bush' until edifice edifies it.
Ekiti APC just love being in the news.

They are neither good in power nor opposition. Only good in propaganda.
