Face governance of Ekiti and stop battling Buhari - APC tells Fayose

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has tasked Governor Ayodele Fayose to spare time for real governance, saying endless war drums against its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and frequent trips outside the state without economic benefits would not add any value to the people.

It also asked the governor to explain to the people how he had been spending the state federal allocations since his inauguration.


The State APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said in a statement on Wednesday that this became imperative in the face of the lull in government’s activities to fulfill campaign promises to Ekiti people.

He said after five months in the saddle, the governor was yet to give any sign that he was prepared for governance.

“After five months, the stories of debts profile still dominate the public space instead of unveiling his development programmes. What we have is frequent shuttling between the capitals of the Far East countries and a reversal of development efforts of the immediate past administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi,” Olatubosun said.

He challenged the governor to tell Ekiti people that the state had been granted a moratorium of six months within which deductions from the Federation Account for payment of bond debt was suspended.

Describing the five months administration ‎of Fayose as a reversal of fortunes, the APC spokesman faulted the government for unemployment caused by cancellation of empowerment schemes introduced by Fayemi’s administration.
