The new Ekiti governor, Ayo Fayose has accused his predecessor of wasting state funds in the newly built Ekiti State Government House.
According to PUNCH, Fayose is claiming that Fayemi spent N50m on beds in his and his wife’s bedrooms.
Part of a press release issued on behalf of Fayose read, "Between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100m. How can a responsible government use borrowed funds to provide this kind of luxury for the governor and his family alone in a state where a lot of people cannot afford to feed more than once in a day?
"People should ask the former governor what was really wrong with the abandoned governor’s lodge used by his (Fayemi) predecessors?
"Shouldn’t such funds expended on the hilltop edifice have been used to resuscitate the moribund textile factory in Ado-Ekiti that was turned to lock-up shops to provide employment for our teeming youths?
"Also, was Fayemi living in that manner of opulence before he became governor? Was he sleeping on a body-massaging bed and bathing in an electric-controlled Jacuzzi?
"Here is Fayemi, who could not pay workers salaries, owing them two-month salaries before he left. A Fayemi, who out of sheer wickedness refused to pay pensioners N2.4bn pension and gratuities; N400m workers leave bonus, N700m subventions to parastatals and tertiary institutions and remit N2.4bn four months’ cooperative society’s deductions from workers salaries preferring to use N3.3bn borrowed funds to provide luxury for himself, his wife and children alone.
"This is wickedness!"
"Left for Governor Fayose, he won’t use that aristocratic government house because it is a symbol of oppression in itself.”
"He(Fayose) will prefer to live where Ekiti people can easily see him, touch him, eat with him and discuss the progress of the state together. But abandoning it would amount to colossal waste of public funds; but Governor Fayose will not hide himself from the masses",the statement added.
Fayose also complained about the state of disrepair in which he met the Governor's office.
