Fayose Has Only Been Making A Mockery Of Ekiti State- Ex-Ekiti Governor

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Niyi Adebayo who ruled the
State from 1999 to 2003 has said the current Governor of the State, Ayodele
Fayose has done nothing but to make mockery of the respected State. According
to Niyi, nobody in Nigeria is happy with the way Ekiti is being run by the
State Governor. He also went ahead to say, Ekiti already has an airport and
wonders what Fayose’s government wants to gain from starting a construction of
another one. Niyi said all this while speaking with journalists yesterday in
Ekiti.

“I don’t think there is anybody in Nigeria who will say he
is happy with what is happening in Ekiti state. Ekiti is being turned into a
pariah state and it is unfortunate that this sort of thing is happening and
that is why we who are in the opposition are putting our house in order and we
believe that if we all stick together and make sure that the party is in stable
state, we will be able to wrestle power back from the current governor (Ayodele
Fayose) that is making mockery of our state,” he said.

On the construction of the new airport, Mr Niyi said;

“Frankly speaking, even without paucity of fund, even with
the way things were before, it is a surprise that anybody or any reasonable
person will say that the priority for Ekiti state is an airport.

“It is definitely not an airport. We have an airport in
Akure which is 45 minutes’ drive from our state capital. So building an airport
in Ekiti state honestly is not a well taught out project.”
