Counter attack legacy in ekiti

Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state governor has launched
a vitriolic attack on predecessor, Dr. Kayode
Fayemi describing him as a serial betrayer who
betrayed his party, the All Progressives
Congress, APC, and its leader, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu who helped him to power.
Fayose, in a statement issued on Thursday by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka, noted that his
government was destroying the legacies of huge
debt, unpaid salaries, white elephant projects,
bad governance and corruption left behind by
Fayemi’s government.
He was reacting to the ex-governor’s interview in
some dailies where he stated that “his legacy
was being destroyed”.
Fayose stated that no responsible government
will sustain a legacy of over N86 billion debts
that were incurred on projects with no direct
bearing on the welfare of the people.
He insisted that it was necessary for Fayemi’s
negative legacies to be destroyed, and that,
“even in the APC, his legacy of betrayal of
Senator Bola Tinubu, the man who made him
governor is being destroyed.
““Never again shall Ekiti be governed by those
who will borrow billions of naira to plant flowers
and create comfort for themselves alone”.
Fayose wondered: “did Fayemi leave behind any
positive legacy in Ekiti?
“When Fayemi became governor, he chose to
close down two universities established by the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government of
Segun Oni and abandoned the Oba Adejugbe
General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, claiming that the
state could not fund more than one university.
“The same Fayemi, who said Ekiti had no money
to fund more than one university preferred to
take N25 billion bond to plant flowers that never
germinated up till now and build a new
governor’s lodge, civic centre, pavilion and
execute other irrelevant projects.
“Furniture alone, in the N3.3 billion governor’s
lodge that he built for himself and his wife cost
N604.9 million and Fayemi wants such legacy of
profligacy to be sustained in Ekiti?
“We are sorry to tell him that we won’t sustain
such legacy of waste.
“Even vehicles bought for traditional rulers and
political appointees, his government did not pay
and uncompleted Oba Adejugbe General Hospital
and State Pavilion were commissioned with
fanfare.
