Fayose spending Ekiti money on anti-Buhari campaign – APC

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor
Ayodele Fayose of mismanaging the state fund by spending on non-
profitable ventures including the hate campaign against its
presidential candidate, Gen. Muhamadu Buhari (retd.).
The party said the Governor was only trying to divert the attention
of Nigerians from his alleged fraudulent victory as revealed in the
leaked audio tape.
It said the money Fayose was spending on his hate campaign could
have been channeled towards productive activities for the benefit of
Ekiti people.
In a statement by the state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun,
the APC berated the governor for lack of focus on development
issues.
It stressed that, “For the past four months, he (Fayose) had busied
himself with debts profile of the state, while not forthcoming on the
balances and refunds made to the state by the Federal
Government.”
Olatubosun added that what Fayose was doing was the usual
fraudulent antics allegedly associated with his administration to whip
public sentiments against real issues of development and transparent
management of state resources.
“He knows with General Muhammadu Buhari as the President, that
will be the end of impunity and fraud through which he was
declared the governor. He knows he can’t survive the revelations
contained in the tape when Buhari becomes the President. That is
why he wants General Buhari dead.
“We know Fayose very well. He will go to any length in his hate
campaign wishing Buhari dead. But he will not succeed. The spirits
of Nigerians that desire change in their lives are stronger than
Fayose’s selfish spirit whose only wish among millions of Ekiti is to
build an empire around himself with stupendous wealth while Ekiti
people beg him for crumbs from his table,” Olatubosun said.
The party warned Fayose against wasting Ekiti money on anti-
Buhari campaign, including hiring agents trailing Buhari around the
world, saying that it was criminal to be spending the state resources
for personal ambition and safety.
“Governor Fayose is taking his hate campaign against General
Buhari to the level of personal agenda far and above the collective
agenda of Ekiti people for good governance and development of
the state. If Fayose had taken the issues of development seriously as
he is doing in his hate campaign against Buhari, the effects could
have been felt in many areas that are germane to the state
development,” Olatubosun added.
