I will never believe in a leader that can owe salaries for 8 months. I pity Ekiti civil servants

CilicMarin:
I like this, that useless and good for nothing Man must be booted out of Ekiti State. Then let's see, if He would go and seek refuge in Biafra.

it's funny how u ar in Ekiti and still ignorant of what's happening there. apart from how wrong you ar, people lyk you don't look deep into issues, u judge by what u presume and u narrowly define it and still push it out for people to see, luckily not everyone is blind. relatively, compare what Fayose administration has done to all others. also do your findings, IGR, fed allocations, Natural resources and read history well. know where problems are coming from and stop whatever it is that is going in your head from other people.

Very correct ; hopefully when Buhari loyalist also make excuse for his failings I hope you try not to narrowly define his administration also and you put into consideration Nigeria’s economy is majorly dependent on crude oil and that product seems to be at an all time Low! Population has increased and our natural resources also is being gradually depleted daily except for the untapped ones

Now we got a direction. it's Not about the party. it's about us and our future

Fayemi that lost in his own ward still have the guts to come back and run for governor. Fayemi that the senators gave vote of no confidence in in ministerial duties wants to come and rule Ekiti again. I'll be back to comment more

.
Fayemi lost his own ward when Fayose had Jonathan and Patience in Aso rock and the army,police,dss,inec,nysc etc were under their control.
It is a different ball game now ok.

Fayose would have use thugs to to make sure that the event didn't hold if it was when PDP controlled Abuja.

Fayemi shd go and die. No vacancy for criminal party in ekiti state. Eleka all d way

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, on Saturday declared for the governorship race on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), boasting that the party will defeat Governor Ayodele Fayose in the July 14 poll and ensure that he goes to jail afterwards.

Fayemi said the party will deploy everything within the constitution to ensure that whoever emerges in the May 5 primary will triumph over the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“They said the June 21 governorship poll is free, fair and credible, so that of July 14 will be free, fair and transparent as well. They will accuse us of so many things. They will accuse us of using federal might, but we will not care”, Fayemi said.

The declaration, which locked down Ado Ekiti, was attended by large crowd of party supporters and admirers, who clad in vests bearing the portrait of the Minister of Mines and Steel Development.

There traffic was chaotic along Ado-Ikere-Akure road for several hours, with commuters spending over one hour to navigate a distance that would take less than two minutes on a normal day.

Fayemi, who was the governor between October 16, 2010 to October 15, 2014, was defeated in the last election held on June 21, 2014 by Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The Minister was the number 37 aspirant to have declared interest in the coveted seat; 21 have collected the nomination and expression of interest forms at the headquarters of the APC in Abuja.
Addressing the State Working Committee (SWC), led by its State Deputy Chairman, Mrs Kemi Olaleye, Fayemi said: “We will use local, state and federal power to take over Ekiti from a rapacious and government being run by brigand in Ekiti.

“Those of us who traveled out of Ekiti, we are being insulted, assaulted and mocked on daily basis asking why Ekiti they thought were well read, refined and exposed could make a character like Governor Ayodele Fayose as their governor.

“That is why it is important for us to reclaim our land and restore our values. Each time I move round Ekiti, I see the pains on the faces of the 25,000 elderly persons who benefited from our social security scheme, 600 people who were employed into the peace corps, 10, 000 volunteers who took N10,000 per month, among others but have been cut off from these safety nets by Fayose.

“More than 40,000 persons who were gainfully employed by my government have been disengaged by this present government in Ekiti.

“Under my government, I increased the salary of workers from N5,000 to N7,000 and from N7,000 to N13,000 and later N19,3000. Who will the workers hate between a government that did these and one that is not paying salary for more than ten months?

“They said teachers didn’t like Fayemi. During my time, education is free up to SS3. I paid rural allowance to teachers, Core Subjects’ Allowance, paid scholarship and bursary, paid for WAEC and NECO, but all these have been stopped by a government that has no interest in social investment.

“Today, I can boldly say that there is no town I get to out of the 133 towns and villages in our dear state where I will not point to five projects. If I have not done their road, I would have built schools, or renovate their hospital, but today, nothing is happening.

“Even those projects I did not complete were abandoned by Fayose. There is no single aspirant in APC who will not do much more fantastic works than what we are getting in Ekiti under Fayose among all the aspirants on the APC platform.

“That is why it is important for us to be united. Let me say this, I am a loyal party man and I am ready to support whoever the party fields as the candidate”.

On the virulent attacks against his person on why he is recontesting despite holding a pivotal position as a Minister, Fayemi said: “Yes, am holding an important position in this government through the grace of God and by the magnanimity of our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari and I am satisfied with it if politics that I play is for me and my family alone.

“But there is an unfinished business in our State. We have to complete and bring back those projects we initiated when we were in the saddle. But politics, to me, is not about title but about service and sacrifice”.

On the rising acrimony among the aspirants, the Minister urged the State Working Committee to set out a code of ethics to regulate the conducts of every contestant, describing the tirades against his person as unacceptable.

“it is absolutely unacceptable for aspirants to indulge in abuses, use intemperate languages against one another. If we do this, we will be damaging the brand the APC is known for. Each contestant should sell his brand to the party delegates who will decide our fates.

“We should be ready to support whoever the party picks as the candidate, provided the process is free, fair and transparent if truly we are loyal party men. I will see whoever fights after the primary as a mole who was sent to destroy our party”.

The Acting Chairman, Olaleye, said the party will try its best to be transparent in the primary, warning members against hurling insults on SWC members.

“We are in a sensitive time and we need ourselves. No one can win election alone, so I beg of you to be not use your write ups on our platforms to destroy our party.

“Let us be united and know that we have only one enemy which is Fayose.

“Our Minister has been supportive to the party. We are proud of him for using his Ministerial position to help Ekiti and APC members”, she stated.

He's inviting the people to hate him more.

Being party in power can't make anyone win his ward.

Goodluck Jonathan said he spent N10 billion on the 2ND Niger-bridge, but what was found at the project site as at January, 2015 was just the architectural design of the proposed bridge. It means that, Goodluck Jonathan spent N10 billion to build the 2ND Niger-bridge on paper.

Two of the attached pictures show Goodluck Jonathan inspecting the second Niger-bridge on paper. While the other three attached pictures show the ongoing work on the 2ND Niger-bridge under the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari.

It is important to also note that Goodluck Jonathan awarded the 2ND Niger-bridge project to Julius Berger at the cost of N138 billion.

President Buhari redesigned the 2ND Niger-bridge to be a state-of-the-art bridge with railway line and reduced the cost of construction from N138 billion to N108 billion. Thereby, PMB saved N30 billion for Nigeria.

It is interesting to note that Julius Berger is now working round the clock on the project. That is to say, President Mohammadu Buhari is building the 2nd Niger-bridge not on papers but in reality.

I ask; who is the true brother and friend to the Igbos?

Between Goodluck Jonathan and Mohammed Buhari, who is the trustworthy leader? Who is the leader that has the interest of his nation at heart?

PrecisionFx:
Being party in power can't make anyone win his ward.

But Amaechi lost his ward in 2015 when Wike had the Federal power, but at the rerun, what happened? Amechi, did not only win his ward, but won 2 Senatorial seats for APC, 3 Fed Reps, and 7 House of Assembly members.

When you guys pontificate on how you are going to defeat Buhari in 2019, I can laugh at your political naivety, because even the main opposition party PDP, knows the game very well.. Buhari unlike Jonathan is a northerner, with massive followers up North, who only needs to tweak numbers(In which the Ministers and apointees will achieve effortlessly) in the South, and he will be on a landslide win.

A fool like u will b a fool for eva

oyeb15:
With the revelation Fayemi made yesterday, Fayose is a crook, a 419. He has impoverish Ekiti state. we the youth of Ekiti are ready to kick him and his puppet out of that office.
He took Ekiti for a ride and reduce we intellectuals to people begging for #200 and one rubber of rice. Imagine.
No poverty eradication programme and most of d honorables are touts in a state where graduates are in thousands.
No employment opportunities. Keep blaming his woes on Buhari and Fayemi.
That bridge is a waste of money. its too narrow and can hardly contain two cars side by side with some very sharp corners on top.
He's living in Govt house he criticize fayemi for building.He's even enjoying d expensive bed he criticize Fayemi of buying. What an hypocrite.
Moreover, he has put Ekiti into debt by borrowing another 56billion.
Such a mistake will never happen again.

If fayemi become governor again i will commit succide he is one of d bad product tinubu produce in is life time fayemi is unhuman

PrecisionFx:

And you really believed that Fayemi was so bad in 2014 that he couldn't even win a single local government out of 16 in Ekiti state in 2014 governorship election.

The truth was that Jonathan and PDP needed Ekiti so much against the 2015 general election and they used all federal might to rig Fayose in and rig Fayemi out to take the state away from APC and i think that is what APC will also do come July election because they will want to put APC governor in Ekiti against 2019.

So,we will see how Popular Fayose and PDP are in Ekiti come few months time now that he no longer have those federal institutions and Dasuki funds on his side.

kjsun15:
courageous by Mouth, come to Ekiti you will see poverty among state and local government workers.
I am fully on in Ekiti so I know what am saying, 8 months without salary and you claim to be voice of the vioceless

Please stop lying, fayose has paid even up till this month. U are just pained. Where are you working sef.... Stop hating! Fayemi is worse than buhari. Everybody can't be wrong at the same time, call it rigging, call it what ever you want, how can a sitting governor lose all the local government in a state, his ward inclusive.

some ignorant people will come online and be hauling an abusive word against each other in support of one politician or the other, it's a shame, better face your future and stop all this unreasonable act, if I tell you this people are friend will you not agree with me, let them be smashing your silly head together and later be O.Y.O

And in Oyo State, youths are making Prof Adeolu Akande of APC their choice candidate. Click d link below and read why

al this your drama wil come to effect when you lose the party primaries and fail to get the governorship ticket...then I will ask you two things, will you allow the primaries to be free n transparent? if you lose the party ticket, will you support the party's flag bearer?

My friend, they are just playing eye service. No true friendship in politics. Wake up.

Empty drum go and sit down

If APC wanted to lose woefully, they should pick FAYEMI as there candidate.

jkf never said fayose will go to jail afterwards of the election, though promised to win the election.

I' m glad that fayemi has been on d throne b4. what did u do to make ur people happy. if ur governance was accepted u wouldn't have been voted out.even u are still in federal level when people ar groanig.

No disrespect but I don’t think sellling or leasing the Ajaokuta steel idea is a bad one .
That project has gulped over 10billiion US dollars starting 1981!!! Yet it’s yet to be completed .
It’s just like every other idea managed by the federal Government they consume money they don’t function either
Eg: Nitel - options Glo Mtn etc works well
Nigerian Airways
If NNPC is being managed by a private coy am sure fuel would be available constant and cheaper.
I pray the ajaokuta steel ish gets resolved and if money is being pumped into it again it will one day soon become functional cos it’s got the capacity to create jobs for 10,000 engineer bla bla bla but Ajaokuta steel at the hands of the Nigerian Government will just be another piggy bank even when completed and yes it won’t be properly managed let alone maintained

I used to live in dumez city, so I know that place like the back my palms.. Forget what u read in the media, they never really pumped money into it.. Its just politics as usual.. Selling it multiple times was just to get paid and induce it in debts, so they keep selling d debt it has become and put the money in their pockets... Your minister mean no good for the steel coy.


Its not abt selling assets, Nitel was sold, is it now functional? Is NEPA effective?


It has d capacity to employ over 100,000 and I'm not exaggerating, but our government are never sincere so forget it, it's not going to work soon.

Locally, there are fights of ethnicity, ownership and management.. Its already embroiled in massive debts, all machinery and assets are already completely obsolete and the country will always ask Indians or China for help... We ain't ready as a country.

Fayose impresses his people and they love him, That is basic.


PDP cannot use federal might and rewrite EVERY polling station in ekiti state, Election results can only be marginally distorted.

If federal might works like u claim, GEJ would have easily rewritten election results across the SW n North central in 2015 to assure him victory.

Yes there is Poverty in Ekiti but APC should not produce Fayemi , as there Aspirant for the forthcoming Election . he has offended civil servants before he left by diverting there cooperative money for his personal use and many more .APC should look for another credible candidate . don't use Ojudu too . Abo oro la n so fu omoluabi to ba de inu re adi odi n di

Fayemi can't never win Ekiti again. He should nt just waste his money !

He has already failed as a Minister!
