HE All Progressives Congress has described the letter written to the Chinese Government by the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, as lacking patriotism, a product of uncoordinated mind and the height of irresponsibility.
The Rivers State Deputy Chairman of the APC, Peter Odike, who made this remark in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Saturday, stated that such act should not have emanated from a governor of a state.
Fayose was quoted in a letter to the Chinese Government on Wednesday calling for the cancellation of the $2b loan which was to be granted to the Nigeria Government.
Odike reminded the Ekiti State governor that no government globally, including his own state, had not partly funded developmental projects through borrowing.
The state APC chieftain maintained that borrowing was a healthy financial strategy, especially when such funds were used on projects and programmes that would not only address the developmental needs of the people, but increase the production capacity of a nation.
He stressed that when projects were executed from the loan, it would also promote economic growth in the country.
The statement also urged Fayose to join hands with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to ensure that the loan was received for immediate and long term benefits of Nigerians.
“The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress totally condemns the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, over his purported letter to the Government of China in which he called for the cancellation of the $2b loan being granted to the Nigerian Government by the Chinese Government.
“We therefore call on Governor Fayose to immediately withdraw his very ill-informed, ill-motivated and unpatriotic letter and apologise to Nigerians for this national embarrassment.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

The Chinese laughed at Fayose's letter. The first thing they asked was'What is punishment for TREASON in Nigeria?' In China the punishment is DEATH. Remember that China last year executed a minister for curruption? Fayose talked to the wrong country. Fool.
