Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has challenged the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed to either disclosed the names of the 15 former governor and other Nigerians he claimed stole N1.34trn between 2006 and 2013 or keep his mouth shut permanently.
This was as he described as disgraceful the putting of handcuffs on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, when he appeared in court, stressing that even the masterminds of Madala and Nyanya bomb blasts, Kabiru Sokoto and Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche were not handcuffed when they were arraigned in court.
The Governor, in a release issued on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said it was funny that close to one year after it won the presidential election, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, federal government was still operating as if it was campaigning for votes.
According to him, “The reality is that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government has destroyed the economy within eight months in power and rather than look for solutions to the problems facing Nigeria, Lai Mohammed and his cohorts are branding bogus figures about
stolen money just to cover up their lack of solution to the country’s economic problems.”
The Governor went further to state that “They are turning governance to Nollywood, such that when one movie is about to end, they release another one. As it appears that the $2.1 billion arms deal movie is getting to an end, Lai Mohammed introduced another movie titled; N1.34 trillion loot.
“Unfortunately for them this time around, Nigerians have become tired of watching the Federal Government movies, they now want reality. Nigerians are now aware of the scam in the $2.1 billion arms deal movie having seen that the amount those already charged to court were charged with is not more than N10 billion and $2.1 billion is over N600 billion.
“Therefore, Lai Mohammed must either tell Nigerians details of the 15 former governors and 55 people that he claimed stole N1.34 trillion, where the stolen money is kept and bring back the money or apologise to Nigerians for lying.”
While dismissing the persistent claim by the federal government that the PDP destroyed Nigeria for 16 years as hypocritical, the Governor stressed that Nigerians must begin to ask which party majority of those presently ruling the country under the APC government were between 1999 and 2014.
“Majority of those who ran the Federal Government between 1999 and 2003 under the PDP are in the APC government today. President, vice president, ministers, governors, senators and House of Reps members who were part of the PDP government are now in APC. Yet, APC keeps telling Nigerians that PDP ruined the country.
This hypocrisy must stop,” he said.
Fayose, who insisted that due process of the law must be followed in fighting corruption, noted that disobedience to court orders itself is a criminal offence that is more grievous than corruption.
He said no amount of harassment and intimidation will silence opposition in the country, saying President Buhari and his men should rather get used to the reality that opposition must exist in a democracy.

Fayose and 14 others

Chief Lie, please respond to the allegations being levelled against you by Chief Ayodele.


Although PDP stole more than that, but Chief Lie cannot prove it. The judiciary (in a democracy) says that you are innocent until proven guilty. So, Chief Lie, prove your allegations; Chief Dasuki is already helping you out

And So the Lion speaks again...

Fayose's the definition of Guts!

Nigerians are now aware of the scam in the $2.1 billion arms deal movie having seen that the amount those already charged to court were charged with is not more than N10 billion and $2.1 billion is over N600 billion.

I guess the rest was 'torn and swallowed' by Dasuki...Metuh-Esque

The rest of that amount is meant to link every single opposition leader who speaks up against the ineptitude of this government to Dasuki! ...And there's so much left to go around!

GMB SECURITY SHA!

Lalasticlala

Lai just wanted his name to trend for a while jare.

how on earth do you expect a chronic LIAR LIA MUHAMED to stop lying/lieing. Its in in gene. LIAR MUHAMMEd, you must name those involved in stealing Nigeria money, I want to confirm if somebody is involved. . .

Fayose knows he will likely make the list......
Kuje prison is still very spacious.

I'm very sure Fayose is a Nairalander.

I have been saying it, for times without number that this "Buhari's Govt" is full of propaganda, deceit, and " newspaper advert style of govt" Gov. Fayose has said it all, Lai Mohammed is a minister for information for Godsake, the whole world relies on him for information regarding Nigeria, or does he need training.....

The question is wat prove does "Lai Mohammed has to backup his findings? non!!

a rare yoruba man with guts

respect sir

I think it's high time the DSS and EFCC went after Lai Mohammed for him to tell them exactly what he knows about all these allegations he keeps churning out.
You can't be throwing allegations about on whims when there are more pressing issues that need your attention as per office you hold and expect not to be interrogated.
Lai should be telling us where exactly the Chibok Girls are,and what the Government is doing to bring them back;
what the Government is doing about the obvious crumbling Nigerian economy...
And so much more important issues.
Enough of all these theatrics

The only lion in yoruba land, very bold abi im.mama be igbo? I am with Fayose on dis. Lai, dont just call figures, attach d figures to people so we can know who our true enemies are but only if u are telling d truth.

The sincere question 95 percent of Nigerians are too dumb to ask..

App just want to rule Nigeria with propaganda for four years
Lai Mohammed should mention the governors since buhari is God he should not be afraid. Useless party and confused followers
