Stop Shielding Fayemi, PDP Tells Buhari

Ekiti state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has again accused the All Progressives Congress-led federal government of shielding former governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi from being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged financial recklessness.

The party wondered why the former governor is coming out almost a year after he was voted out of government by the Ekiti people, added that, he knows that some security agencies are after him.

The PDP in the state however hinted that Fayemi is coming out to mislead and coerce people to believe that he was prudent while in office, maintained that, it was other way round.

In a statement signed by the party spokesman, Jackson Adebayo and a copy made available to newsmen, the party accused Fayemi of distracting the commission’s investigation through his recent utterances in the media.

The statement in read part: “We still insist that the leadership of the APC is hell-bent on protecting Dr. Kayode Fayemi from the searchlight of the EFCC and other security agencies because they know that he ran Ekiti government aground before he was booted out by the popular vote, which has been judged to be the most peaceful, freest and fairest in the recent time.

“Anybody or person found wanting of mismanagement of the state resources must be brought to book.”

While reacting to the accusation, APC, party publicity secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, told Fayose and his party to build on the legacies of the former governor instead of castigating the gentleman.

Olatunbosun said: “Instead of regaling in the destruction of Fayemi’s legacies, which presented the best opportunities for Ekiti State to grow, Fayose is not only destroying himself, but also mortgaging the future of Ekiti people through stomach infrastructure that provides a kilogramme of rice and three-month-old chicken at every Christmas.

“Fayemi’s projects presented the best opportunities for the state to grow, but Fayose has been hiding under non-existent debts to deny Ekiti people needed development.

“Fayose said that Fayemi bought N50 million bed even when there is no N1 million bed in Government House. He said Fayemi built the new Government House with N3.5bn while in truth the building cost N2.1bn and is the cheapest of such in the country.“
