Shocking revelations about Fayose, as governor told to go

– Some groups of civil society in the country have made some shocking revelations about Governor Ayodele Fayose     of Ekiti state
– The social crusaders as well as the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) embarked on a peaceful    protest demanding the governor’s resignation
– The protesters said they cannot continue to fold their arms and make Governor Fayose destroy Ekiti state






The protesters who came out under the platform of “Be the Change Organisation,” Southwest branch, berated Governor Ayodele Fayose for “his failure to live up to expectation.” There have been reports that Ekiti state civil servants are being owed five months salaries, while the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) also discovered N4.7bn from the office of the national security adviser to the governor’s account and two sons of an ex Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro.
Governor Fayose who denied the allegation, saying he had no financial dealings whatsoever with the ONSA under Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) and Obanikoro, either by monetary form, cheque or electronic transfer. The protesters, who converged on the popular Fajuyi Park, gained entrance through the Governor’s office gate, later moved to Okeyinmi roundabout where their leaders spoke to the general public.

The placards they carried had different inscriptions like, “what happened to the airport fund,” “Fayose must go,” “Fayose is a disgrace,” “Stop wasting Ekiti money on olosho nights,” “We say no to Fayose’s financial recklessness,” as well as “We don’t want a criminal as governor.” They also sang anti-Fayose songs to ridicule the Ekiti state governor, whom they accused of embezzling the state resources. The CNPP in its message read by its publicity secretary, Ayo Adelabu, called on the governor to come out and prove them wrong on the N4.7bn arms deal scandal. Adelabu said: “We also implore him to come and explain to Ekiti people how he has spent six month allocation without the payment of Ekiti workers which has grounded the state working force for the past one month.”

While the publicity secretary continued with the group’s message, he advised the governor against ridiculing President Muhammadu Buhari, adding that: “CNPP strongly condemn Ekiti state legislators who have turned themselves to political slaves in the hand of Fayose at the detriment of Ekiti people.” The executive director of a civil society called BCO, Mrs Omotunde Fajuyi, said Ekiti people were dragged to the mud by the latest shocking revelations of Fayose’s connection with the N4.7bn arms scandal, saying that all Nigerians must support any move to recover the peoples commonwealth from looters. She stated: “We support President Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade, we have come out to protest looting of our money, corruption in government and scandals digging this government in Ekiti. “Workers are dying at home, we want Fayose to explain what he has done with allocations he had so far collected because he had received more than N50bn as allocation since he came to power. “Fayose claims to be a Christian, he must come out clean and give account to the people of Ekiti State and he must submit himself and all his aides and associates to anti-corruption agencies for investigation.” The spokesman for the artisans in the state, Idowu Ayegbe, said: “We regret all the burden the governor has imposed on us in Ekiti in form of levies and taxes on our pupils. We are not happy with what the governor is doing including his attacks on the president.” A youth leader named Adeoye Aribasoye, who also spoke during the protest said: “We have a governor who is richer than the state, a governor who has over N4bn in his account he is the only one who can explain what he has done with all the funds he had received from federal authorities. “He must explain the N2.4bn ecological funds because we don’t know what has happened to the money, he must answer for the revelations of Ekitigate. “Pupils and students of public schools have been at home for over four weeks due to the strike embarked upon by civil servants and teachers.” The troubles of Fayose are on the rise every minute, as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has traced three mansions to a close associate of embattled Ekiti state governor.
