Fani-Kayode in a statement Wednesday said that Federal Government refusal to release the said fund was ‘petty, vindictive and reprehensible’. He said that ‘because the courageous Ayo Fayose has become the rallying point of opposition against Muhammadu Buhari does not mean that the people of Ekiti state should suffer.
Fani-Kayode pleaded with the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to intervene in matter and expedite the release of the State Governnent’s allocation. The Federal Government’s refusal to release the monthly allocation to the Ekiti State Government is petty, vindictive and reprehensible.
Simply because the courageous Ayo Fayose has become the rallying point of opposition against Muhammadu Buhari does not mean that the people of Ekiti state should suffer. I call on Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to intervene in this matter expeditiously and release the Ekiti State Governnent’s allocation forthwith.
Recalled that Ekiti—Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose yesterday decried the withholding of the state’s allocation and the monthly Budget Support Fund due to the state for January by the Federal Government. He said the none remittance of the money, made the State government to write a protest letter to the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, adding that 10 days after the letter was sent, no response has come from the Minister.
“In the last four weeks, Ekiti allocation and the budget support have not been released.

I have spoken to the Minister of Finance but nobody is ready to talk to us. The allocation and the budget support is our legitimate earning.

V.P cannot do anything on this issue, he is just a figure head there, has he signed anything involving money or released money to any parastatals since the old man traveled? Not to now talk of the order( No Jan allocation for Ekiti) he gave before going on sick leave.
ReplyDeleteWe are watching!!!!!
Na wao. Person de dey wicked even at the point of death???
ReplyDeleteIs there no wise man in Ekiti that can counsel the governor and call him to order? No one says he should not criticize but criticism must be issues– based and not be frivolous or because he seeks attention. He must criticize intelligently and not like a fool. Remember when two elephants fight it is the grass that suffers. If indeed the FG is holding to the state's allocation, I think it should be released for the sake of the people. There must be some other ways of casting out the spirit of foolishness and arrogance from him.
