Even as at when the bailouts were owed, the state government was owing. What are you talking of?

Again, say all the truth not only the parts that fit your narrative.

Is Ekiti the only state which has been owing? In SW only Lagos hasn't owed. Ondo, Oyo and Ogun (Ogun situation hasn't been severe) have owed.

Osun state is the absolute worse and Aregbesola doesn't have an excuse of being withheld monies for political purposes!


How can the FG refund the Ekiti state government for a bridge? Is the bridge a federal bridge?

It belongs to the state and the FG has no business with it. It is not on a federal road and so why is he expecting payback according to you?

Lol, this isn't a discussion of how, what or why.

It is very simple. The federal government owed Ekiti N12 billion. The federal government attempted to reimburse Ekiti, but it was blocked by court actions initiated by Fayemi.

Why did Fayemi block it?

You can avoid the facts all you want but no lies or falsehoods can distort this.

So I will ask you again, if Fayemi means well for Ekiti why would he block money being reimbursed to the state?

What purpose? What benefit was it for Fayemi to collude and go to court to stop this money from being distributed?

Oh, the money Fayose is crying that he wants back was not for roads constructed by his government but by Fayemi's government which GEJ's admin did not payback. If you want to debate it, please show me the projects he built, the FG roads he fixed that the funds should be refunded

You have no proof of this. Provide a source which proves this statement.

Why aren't you being truthful?

* The Paris loan refund was received a year ago and it was supposed to be distributed between all local governments. As far as we know it was done properly.

* One of those bailouts was years ago. The recent bailout EFCC needed to get involved at Fayose's request because the commissioner of finance and AG were diverting/stealing funds.


You mention the bridge he built and how it could have paid salaries, correct?

That is my point.

The Federal Government OWES Ekiti state for construction and road works; that bridge being part of it. Had Fayemi not went to court to block the reimbursement of the funds; wages would have been paid.

Fayemi delayed the release of the N12 billion using court action, then built his campaign on Fayose not paying the workers.... something Fayemi was accused of doing during his tenure. It worked perfectly and as we can see you bought the charade hook line and sinker.

Source of Fayose addressing Fayemi's action to impede Ekiti from receiving their federal reimbursement of monies owed: http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/129652/

This man u r not making sense at all...so of all the monies fayose has received, d bailout specifically given to offset salaries, d Paris club refund, d monthly allocation all these monies were not used to pay salary.

Fayose only wants to use d debt for fed govt projects n his state to pay salary. This makes sense to u.

Now is he the only gov owed money by d FG for fed govt projects?...if he is not r others who r been owed paying salaries??....my friend wake up u r sleeping

Do you understand how governance works?

Do you think governments especially those in Nigeria which live day-to-day on FG allocation and are in heavy debt have the ability to store money or do you think they use the money as quickly as it comes to pay workers, build and grow the state?

It's funny because SW has four others states struggling like Ekiti, one of which is severely worse then the others and yet you make it seem like Ekiti is a special case.

If these are Nigeria's youth an bright minds it's no wonder Buhari's and Atiku's will rule forever.

No sense in his inchorence.

After bailouts, Paris fund refund and monthly allocation, he still owes salaries of state and he has also dipped his fingers into LG funds too yet it was all Fayemi's fault after 4 years.

But if PNB mentions Buhari, everyone will be up in arms

Every governor in SW not named Ambode was owing salaries. Did they not all receive Paris fund? Bailout(s)?

President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Mr. Bobboi Kaigama on May 1st, 2018 says 35 out of 36 states owing salaries: http://saharareporters.com/2018/03/01/35-out-36-nigerian-states-owing-workers-salaries-trade-union-president


So why are you only singling out Ekiti and Fayose? Stop telling part of the truth and tell all of it.

You are making my point.

Ogun (note where I said their situation wasn't as severe), was able to clear all their payments because they were not blocked from receiving all of their federal reimbursements and allocations. If thess monies were blocked or delayed from reaching Ajimobi, how can he pay the workers?

That is exactly what Fayemi did here.

Fayemi blocked the disbursement of N12 billion. If he had not blocked it, Ekiti would be able to boast as well that they have paid all workers.

Don't worry. Once Fayemi enter office he will drop his court injunctions, the N12 billion naira will go to Ekiti and he will pay wages. Then people will herald him as a savior.

The guy is just arguing blindly. The truth is simple in this case: regardless of whatever amounts the FG is owing Ekiti, the state receives monthly allocation, IGRs, bail out funds, and other palliative measures from the FG including loans from banks and other agencies. Why hasn't Fayose devoted some of the funds towards offsetting owed salaries? There is no justification for this.!

I am no fan of Fayose or Fayemi or their parties but I will speak the truth when I see it. Fayose plunged the state to hunger. Even the so-called Osun State that the fallout dude alludes to as the worst, one can see what caused the problem there via the quality of schools everywhere in the state. Even at that, some payments have been made.

Fayose simply refused to pay in order to lash out at the FG. He was playing an emotional type of politics: starve the people and blame Buhari for it. Unfortunately for Fayemi, he will have to do what Fayose refused to do: pay the salary arrears!

Let us eschew the politics of bitterness and lies and speak the truth regardless of our political affiliations. In this matter, Fayose lost because he was a bad administrator.

12 billion naira is NOT enough to pay more than 10,000 owed government workers across all cadres. What is your point again?

Is the 12 billion the highest money Ekiti State has seen or heard of? Are the state roads and bridges that Fayose did not more than 12 billion naira?


In Akwa Ibom, the FG is yet to reimburse the state government of over 50 billion naira which was used to dualise federal roads in the state. In this same Akwa Ibom that is owed such an amount, salaries are being paid, roads are being constructed, employment has been done, etc.

What again is your point?

If the country was sane, shouldn't the two parties involved in vote buying be disqualified. If to use as a lesson, let the third placed party be given the mandate.

Besides, this has got to be the funniest election as the pdp candidate seems more or less unknown. Apart from his master, haven't seen much or heard of him. Makes you wonder who exactly is trying to be governor.

My thought as well. The candidate who came third should be declared governor cos of votes buying by both apc and pdp.

You also forgot to mention the arrests of PDP party stalwarts and the forceful snatching of ballot boxes, which was a wholly APC affair, that would have played a greater part in the thwarting of the people's will.

Vote buying was by both parties and of course, the party in the centre had more cash to dispose of, as they control the nation's treasury. Buhari's ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADE my foot

You are correct.

What you left out was Fayose couldn't pay the workers because the APC federal government was withholding over N12 billion owed to Ekiti state for construction and road rehabilitation works. Instead of the federal government to release these funds; Fayemi colluded with the commissioner of Finance (Dapo Kolawole) to block the federal refund through court procedures.

This court action is what has helped up the funds and made it impossible for Fayose to pay the workers.


So pray tell, how can this same Fayemi come and pretend to be Ekiti savior when he is the cause of their problems?


This is the wickedness of Nigeria. These politicians make problems of their own hands and hold the solution until they get what they want. Then they parade themselves as martyrs, saviors who have done well for the people when all they have done is brought unnecessary hardship and suffering.
.
You have been brainwashed to believe what ever Fayose say.
How many times did Fayose collected Paris Bail out funds and what did he do with the funds?

Fayemi was also a governor under the PDP controlled Federal government then and his allocations were being withheld and sometimes paid half but he was able to still source for funds to pay workers salaries and pensions.

The first natural instinct of humans is survival. How can a drowning man be dictated to that grabbing the only floating log within his reach is against the law

Between the two devil's presented to the poor people of Ekiti. They simply resigned to fate voting for the highest bidder.
How could I blame them??

A true leader will never take advantage of his followers no matter how vulnerable they are. That's y children don't vote because their parents are supposed to protect their interest.

A medical personale with Ekiti civil service. Is just saying he's relocating his family abroad.
Nigerians have become damn too disgusted with what these parties can offer.

A gov haven't paid salary but have enough for campaign. Transferring 3k n giving civil servants 4k to vote for u. When u are owning them months. What an insult to a people as educated as them.

When u were there earlier, u embarked on white elephant projects ( govt house n others) in a state with d only major industries like education, agriculture and civil service. Dealt alot with civil servants.
Came with federal might and security to frustrate ur opponents from buying vote while allowing u to do same with impunity.
Where did u even get such money from. U didn't care about d poor masses of Ekiti B4 now only to show with bribe for them to mortgage their future n that of their children. I need not say that as soon as u take charge, primarily u will want to recoup ur investment, while the welfare of Ekiti people becomes secondary.
How will posterity judge u

To me I kindly submit that the real losers in this election are the people of Ekiti. While the real winners are those candidates that didn't buy votes really.
While the federal government should cover their head in great shape. This is d kind of election their change could offer. Even worse than Yaradua/GEJ did.
