You lied about Govt House, APC tells Fayose
The All Progressives Congress has accused the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, of telling lies about the cost of Government House, the beds and the welfare of teachers in the state.
It accused the Governor of churning out lies to the public when he claimed his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, spent a whooping N50m on beds in his and his wifes bedrooms at the newly built Ekiti State Government House.
Fayose, had also on last Monday while administering oaths on the newly appointed Secretary to the State Government, Dr Mrs Modupe Alade and other Special Assistants branded the N3.3bn worth Governors Lodge as ill-conceived project and a misplaced priority.
He said the building was too expensive for the state to maintain considering the level of poverty in the state.
Fayose berated Fayemi for spending such amount of money on a building when the masses were facing serious hardship and challenge of abject poverty added that it will cost a sum of N150m maintenance annually.
But the APC in a statement entitled, Fayoses season of lies by the State Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, on Sunday said Fayose had been churning out the lies to draw sympathy from the public and to discredit Fayemi who had done well.
It challenged Fayose to release independently verifiable documentary evidence to proof his claims because no bed in the lodge cost more than N2m, adding that the money spent on the government house was less than N2bn.
The party said, This is how Mr. Fayose lied about a non existent N50m bed in the Government House when he knows there is no bed that is costlier than N2m in that lodge. Governor Fayemi served Ekiti with diligence, candour and deprivation.
Mr. Fayose knows that he lied about the N3bn cost of the new Government House and a non existent N50m bed as no bed costs more than N2m in that lodge and we challenge him to release independently verifiable documentary evidence to proof us wrong.
He knows that the money spent on the government house is less than N2bn. Nobody could deny the fact that the government house is a legacy bequeathed by the Fayemi administration for the use of subsequent Governors.
