Special Assistant to Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose
on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka in his own words
The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode
Fayemi has been described as a “shameless liar” whose first name is
falsehood and “won’t mind lying to his creator to gain undue favour.”
Special Assistant to Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose
on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, while reacting to
comments made on an Akure, Ondo State Radio Station on Friday, said;
“Since Fayemi had admitted that Fayose left N3.5 billion in the State
treasury when he left office in 2006 and not N10.4 billion as claimed by
Fayose, Fayemi should also be honest enough to tell the whole world how
much he left in the treasury of Ekiti State when left office on October
16, 2014.”
Olayinka, who said no amount of falsehood and image
laundering can bring Fayemi back to the positive mindset of Ekiti
people, added that; “It is funny that Fayemi is embarking on campaign
six months after he was defeated in the entire 16 local councils in the
State, including his own local council.”
He said; “In as a much as we do not want to join issues
with Fayemi, because we know that he is still in psychological pain and
trauma, having lost the opportunity of occupying the aristocratic N3.3
billion Oke Ayoba Government House that he used borrowed fund to build,
we must tell him that he should desist from his life of one day, one
lie, because Ekiti people can no longer be deceived by his Obama
Friend’s tales.”
Olayinka said “it is funny that Fayemi lied to Ekiti people
before he assumed office; claiming to be friend of President Barrack
Obama, lied for four years as governor and he is still lying, six months
after Ekiti people chased him out of office with their votes.”
The governor’s aide, who said Fayemi’s claim that he had
paid all contractors, including the one handling Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki road
was illogical, added that; “If Fayemi had paid the contractor handling
Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki road as he claimed, why was the troubled spot in front
of the State Hospital not fixed? And why didn’t Fayemi, himself arrest
the contractor for refusing to move to site?”
Speaking further, Olayinka said; “It is on record that
apart from debt of over N86 billion, with which Fayemi mortgaged Ekiti
State till year 2020, August and September salaries of workers were left
unpaid, four months deductions for workers Cooperative Societies and
Union Dues were not remitted while pension and gratuity were not paid.”
He said; “If Fayemi could admit that Fayose left N3.5
billion in the State treasury in 2006 when the State allocation was less
than N2 billion monthly, shouldn’t Fayemi be ashamed of himself that
despite that his government received as much as N9 billion as monthly
allocation, he left behind over N86 billion debt?
“The truth is that Fayose left N10.4 billion in the State
treasury in 2006. But even by Fayemi’s admission, Fayose left N3.5
billion for his successor while he (Fayemi) left over N86 billion debt
for his own successor. Isn’t that shameful?”
Olayinka said as at the time Fayemi was leaving, Ekiti State Government was indebted to the tune of N86, 013,689,097. He said; “The debts are broken down as follows: Bank Loans;
N15, 831,613,425.62, Bond; N26, 749,796,784.75, Outstanding Warrants;
N15, 522,552,900.76, Outstanding to Road Contractors; N21, 286,126,749,
Outstanding Remittances to FG; N709, 883,656.75, Outstanding Remittances
(State Govt); N592, 995,374.89 and EKSG Public Servants Outstanding
Emoluments; N5, 137,888,224.37.”
On the N25 billion bond taken by the Fayemi’s government,
Olayinka said; “As at when Fayemi left government, after paying a total
sum N15, 221,207,088 (i.e. N14,299,085,088 repaid from the N20bn bond
and N922,122,000.09 from the N5bn bond), the State Government was still
owing N26.749bn!”
Olayinka concluded that Governor Fayose will not be
distracted by the ranting of Fayemi and his party, adding that; “If
Governor Fayose, who has spent just two months in office gave Ekiti
people ‘oromodiye’ (as the APC called it) to celebrate Christmas and
they appreciated it, it means that Fayemi did not give them a single egg
throughout the four years that he was governor.”
