Ekiti State governor, Ayodele
Fayose, has criticised the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Kayode
Fayemi for trying to proffer solution to corruption in Nigeria.
The governor also faulted the
choice of Fayemi as chairman of the Inter Agency Task Team (IATT) programme to
commemorate the 2017 International Anti-Corruption Day.
Fayose in a statement by Special
Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka and
made available to DAILY POST, likened Fayemi’s speech against impunity to a
case of “corruption condemning corruption.”
Faymi was at the event quoted as
saying that Nigeria must say no to impunity and eliminate the syndrome of
‘sacred cows’ for the fight against corruption.
Reacting however, Fayose said the
minister, who at the event tried to proffer solution to corruption in Nigeria
was like robbers offering solution to armed robbery even after refusal to
appear before commission of inquiry to probe his years as Ekiti governor.
He said, “Fayemi’s comment that
Nigeria must say no to impunity and eliminate the syndrome of ‘sacred cows’ for
the fight against corruption to succeed is funny.
“Fayemi offering solution to the
corruption fight is like notorious armed robbers like Oyenusi and Shina Rambo
giving lecture on how to stop armed robbery.”
“It is funny that Fayemi is not
even ashamed to sermonise on the need to say no to impunity and eliminate the
syndrome of sacred cows, when he, himself acted like a sacred cow by refusing
to appear before a commission of inquiry, duly constituted to probe his four
years as governor of Ekiti State.
“The reality is that President
Buhari is leading a government of scandalously corrupt people and one of them
is Dr. Kayode Fayemi.”
