The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has denied the allegation by Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose that former governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi bought vehicles for traditional rulers in the state on credit.
According to the APC state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, the governor is on a familiar terrain of deceit, regretting that the governor had chosen lies and propaganda as a state policy.
He said: “The traditional rulers themselves can find out from the suppliers of the vehicles, Coscharis, if these vehicles were not fully paid for. Let Governor Fayose show to the whole world documents showing that the cars were not paid for. This is a challenge.
“We understand his game plan by telling the traditional rulers that their cars have not been paid for. He is seeking an undeserved sympathy from them so that they can support his illegalities. It is a subtle blackmail and threat to the royal fathers so as to put them under his control just as he has desecrated the judiciary and violated the legislature.
“It is also a ploy to misapply Ekiti money. He has collected so far N10 billion refund on Federal Government roads and another N12 billion ecological fund from the Federal Government.
“This is a total of N21 billion in just one month and yet, he cannot pay workers’ salaries and we don’t know on what projects he has spent this colossal sum. For the second time in a decade, Ekiti people are in soup in the hands of one man.
The party accused the governor of not paying attention to security, adding that he had drastically cut funds meant for security operatives to do their jobs while at the same time increasing his personal security.
The party lamented that, for the second time in a month, Banks in the state had to remain under lock and key for fear of armed robbers because bank robberies were becoming a daily affair.
“Rather than pay attention to the security and welfare of the people, Governor Fayose is busy lying to them all the way and hounding his political opponents out of town while at the same time telling the world that he has extended a hand of fellowship to them.”
