The All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Ekiti State has said the report of Governor Ayodele Fayose’s panel of
enquiry which probed the administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi cannot pass
integrity test.
The party said it would fail when
taken before a proper court of law that would act based on the law and
integrity of the adjudicating jurists.
In a statement in Ado-Ekiti, the
APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, scoffed at the report of the panel,
dismissing it as a product of a premeditated script by a panel of Fayemi’s
haters who were acting the script of the governor bent on ruining the
reputation of Fayemi, who is also the Minister of Mines and Steel Development.
He said the report indicting
Fayemi was nothing but a direct opposite of what the former governor
represented in government, but against whom Fayose had launched a satanic
attempt to ruin his reputation.
He said: “Fayemi ran a
transparent and people-oriented programmes targeted at making Ekiti greater
with strong economic base.
“The predetermined politically
orchestrated kangaroo panel of enquiry set up to implement a scripted blackmail
can’t stand a judicial scrutiny that will throw it to a dustbin of history in
Nigerian judiciary composed of value who value their integrity.
“Fayose’s government is a failure
and therefore always looking for a distraction to deceive the public and
particularly the people of Ekiti State.
“Fayose has impoverished Ekiti
people by his refusal to pay ekiti workers and pensioners several months of
salaries and pensions.
“Misplacements of priority of
projects to corner public wealth for personal enrichment by awarding same to
his cronies’ companies where he has vested interest.
“Fayose is on daily basis
committing heinous crimes against the people of Ekiti and I assure him the long
arms of the law will catch up with him no matter how fast he thinks he can run.
“Dr. Kayode Fayemi is doing well
as a Minister of the Federal Republic representing Ekiti State. We are proud of
him as our son in Buhari ‘s cabinet who has been receiving awards of excellence
for his unprecedented performance in making the dream of diversifying the
nation’s economy in the area of mining a reality.
“It is not such a shining star
that Fayose, who everyone knows is a rabble rouser and cloudy character, should
rubbish because Fayose is tomorrowonly interested in denting the rising profile
of Dr. Fayemi and hence wishes to create a wrong and misleading impression in
the eyes of the public that Fayemi is a thief whereas he is not. “The case in
question is in three courts and what Fayose has done by going on with his
kangaroo panel with a specific mandate to indict Fayemi is a contempt of court.
“Fayose has run the state aground
through his many unexplainable and dubious financial transactions over which many
of his officials have been invited for questioning by the EFCC.
“We wish to remind Fayose that he
can only hide but cannot run from the long arms of the law. He will account for
every kobo of the state that he has misappropriated but which he is trying to
fraudulently divert the attention of the people to a non-existent misdeeds by
Fayemi’s administration.
“It is an irony that Fayose who
is supposed to be undergoing probe save for immunity which he enjoys is the one
probing his predecessor whose enviable and life-lifting legacies are scattered
across the state.
“No amount of hit and run tactics
which Fayose is known for can portray Fayemi in bad light in the eyes of Ekiti
people who knew how life was meaningful to them under his glorious tenure.
“No amount of tactics will make
Fayose escape the long arms of the law and we wish the men, both Fayemi’s
haters and PDP members on the panel, who allowed themselves to be used for this
thirty job good luck as history records them in where they rightly deserve in
history books of Ekiti State.
“Dr Fayemi has been very busy on
national assignments by contributing in no small measures his quota to national
development and he will continue in this regard rather than dignifying Fayose
who Ekiti people see as kleptomaniac and pathological liar, and who is
orchestrating this fraud to distract the minister in his noble and valueable
service to the nation.
“We are not unaware of how much
Fayose gave to his panel to adopt his influenced judgement and report of the
panel and we knew and spoke about their intended kangaroo verdict from the
onset.
“Therefore, we are not surprised
in anyway that despite the pending court process, they are still acting the
ignominious script of deceit in Fayose’s political comedy.”

Fayemi had impoverished Ekiti people by mortgaging their future through excess borrowing even when he was receiving full allocation and even more from federal govt. Don't deceive yourself.
