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.
