The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has accused
Governor Ayodele Fayose of planning to brainwash Ekiti people with
“ultimate goal to, as usual, divert the Paris Club refund of N4.7billion
for selfish motives.”
The APC said Fayose’s planned meeting with workers and other
stakeholders over the recently released N4.7bn to the state government
was to feed them with lies so he could corner the money into his private
account.
In a statement by the Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the
party said that Ekiti people were no longer deceived by the governor’s
antics in always calling workers and other stakeholders to meetings to
brainwash them on the state’s financial matters, stressing that such
practice ws a worn-out tactic to “fraudulently deny workers their
salaries and con Ekiti people for selfish motives.”
He said: “Governor Fayose believes that he is wiser than all Ekiti
people put together, which he recklessly celebrates in his contemptuous
cliché as ‘Ekiti people are stupid’.
“The governor started his latest trick when he called Labour leaders
to a meeting last month that Paris Club refund coming to the state would
be N4.7billion just to create the impression that he is running a
transparent administration.
“We are aware that after collecting the money, he has started calling
another round of meetings brainwashing workers that N4.7b Paris Club
refund will not be enough to pay one month salary barely a month after
he confessed that the actual Ekiti monthly wage bill is N1.7 billion and
several months after he consistently lied that the state’s wage bill
was N2.6 billion.”
But Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, described the allegation by the APC as mischief taken too far.
The CPS said the statement, credited to the Publicity Secretary,
Olatubosun, clearly showed that the APC was made up of touts, mischief
makers and educated illiterates.
However, the APC warned that Ekiti people would no longer tolerate “brazen lies to wickedly short-change the people.”
