Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to instruct the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC, to keep a close eye on how the N2.1 billion bailout to Ekiti is utilised by the state governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose.
The opposition party in the state equally called on the Presidency to order the Chief of Army Staff , Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah, to remove the men of the Nigerian Army attached to the convoy of the Governor to forestall his alleged misuse of security agents.
State Publicity Secretary of the APC in Ekiti, Taiwo Olatunbosun noted in a statement he issued on Saturday that the obligation lies on the APC as the opposition party to call the attention of the Presidency to the alleged unwholesome attitude of security agencies in the state.
According to the release, “The President should ensure financial discipline in Ekiti State through the instrumentality of anti-corruption bodies to guide against the misappropriation of the bail-out funds that have already been seen as a jackpot by state government leaders”.
The party went on to hail Buhari over bailout plan for states in order to settle the arrears of workers’ salaries, saying the measure would relieve Nigerian families from poverty and provide the energy needed for the challenge of returning the nation to the path of productivity for the general well-being of Nigerians.
