Fayemi explodes, says “Let’s see who will go to jail between Fayose and I”
He also described the attempt being made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reclaim power in 2019 as plot to continue to loot the country.
’What we are witnessing is just a normal curve in the life of any administration. We will get over it and move on, but largely President has not disappointed Nigerians,” he said.
The Minister described the panel of enquiry inaugurated by Fayose to probe his administration as a kangaroo one, noting that it was an attempt to smear his reputation and render him unpopular.
“Fayose stock in trade is lying against someone to score political gains. They started with the probe of N852 million UBEC fund and when they knew they could not go far, they started concocting lies and said.I looted N17 billion.
Addressing the pressmen in Isan Ekiti in Oye local government area of Ekiti State on Wednesday, Fayemi said Nigerians would ensure that PDP didn’t return to power because of the high level of looting it perpetrated while in the saddle.
Fayemi, who didn’t say categorically whether he is still nursing governorship ambition, said the APC is very committed to making sure that Ekiti rejoins the league of developing states by ensuring that the party wins the 2018 governorship poll.
“What the PDP want to come back and do is stealing. The options for Nigerians in 2019 is to either return to the old age of criminalization and brigandage by voting for the PDP, because nothing to convince Nigerians that they have changed with the shenanigans that characterised their national convention and poor performances by their governors.
Fayemi further discountenanced attacks by his political adversaries that he has not used his ministerial position for the benefit of the state.
”What I have done is measurable and clear. This government has began the construction of a federal secretariat and housing estate in Ekiti; the rail-line was extended to this state in the FG’s proposal due to my intervention.
“4,000 Ekiti indigenes are benefitting from N-power and very soon it will go up to 12,000. The proposal for kaolin exploration in Ekiti has just been completed; that of the bauxite will begin soon.
“President Buhari’s government is planning to set up a cottage industry in Ekiti for the sake of the solid minerals exploration and I have enlisted small scale miners around Ijero Ekiti for them to benefit from the N5b loan set up by the Bank of Industry”, he revealed.
