Fayemi Comes ‘Hard’ On Fayose, As Fayose Comes ‘Harder’, Tells Him, You Left Nothing But A Rotten Legacy

After Former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi in an
interview with some National Newspapers accused the present Governor of Ekiti
State, Ayodele Fayose of destroying the legacies he left behind, the no
nonsense Governor has deemed it fit to reply him almost instantly telling him
he left no legacy behind, but instead he left huge debts and legacies no
rightly thinking government will like to follow.

Fayose also went ahead calling Fayemi a betrayer who even
betrayed Tinubu who put him in power. He said APC Ekiti even said the defeat experienced
in Ekiti during Fayemi’s tenure was the worst defeat their party has ever experienced
but at State and National levels. Trust the governor to table them out one
after the other. He tabled all what he calls the former governor’s faults. Find
the statement released by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka on behalf of the governor after the cut.

“Today, Fayemi has
been ostracised by those who assisted him to office because he has betrayed all
of them, including Tinubu.

“Never again shall Ekiti be governed by those who will
borrow billions of naira to plant flowers and create comfort for themselves
alone,” Fayose declared.

“Does he then want us to sustain the legacy of serial
betrayal of his benefactors?

“If he served Ekiti and its people well, why was it that he
was roundly defeated in all the 16 local councils in the state in the 21 June,
2014 governorship election and his party was also defeated 16 to 0 in the
presidential, National Assembly and House of Assembly elections?

“Even his own party men described his electoral defeat as
the worst in Nigeria.”

He continued; “did Fayemi leave behind any positive legacy
in Ekiti?

“When Fayemi became governor, he chose to close down two
universities established by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government of
Segun Oni and abandoned the Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, claiming
that the state could not fund more than one university.

“The same Fayemi, who said Ekiti had no money to fund more
than one university preferred to take N25 billion bond to plant flowers that
never germinated up till now and build a new governor’s lodge, civic centre,
pavilion and execute other irrelevant projects.

“Furniture alone, in the N3.3 billion governor’s lodge that
he built for himself and his wife cost N604.9 million and Fayemi wants such
legacy of profligacy to be sustained in Ekiti?

“We are sorry to tell him that we won’t sustain such legacy
of waste.

“Even vehicles bought for traditional rulers and political
appointees, his government did not pay and uncompleted Oba Adejugbe General
Hospital and State Pavilion were commissioned with fanfare.

“Today, Ekiti State is under the yoke of debt, courtesy of
Fayemi’s mismanagement of the state resources and what we are destroying are
those legacies of mis-governance he left behind.

“One bad news that we must however tell Fayemi is that we
won’t only destroy his legacy of misgovernance and betrayal in Ekiti, we will
also make sure that economic devourers like him will never taste power in the
state.”
