Face your work or Continue To Probe Me– Fayemi tells Fayose

Since Ayo Fayose took over as governor
of Ekiti state, he has spent considerable
time criticising his predecessor and
exposing several actions of the past
government which he considered as
corrupt, wasteful or frivolous.
The former governor, Kayode Fayemi,
has now responded to Fayose, advising
the governor to stop his "cheap
blackmil and comical acts" or go head
and probe all government transactions
between October 2010 and October
2014.

Fayemi, in a statement signed by his
Media Aide, Yinka Oyebose, said it was
high time the new government got its
acts together, have a clear
understanding of the state's finances as
well as financial regulatory matters and
stop juggling figures in a clear
exhibition of unpardonable ignorance.
"Ekiti citizens deserve to know what the
administration did with state fund
during the tenure of the immediate
past administration and we are
prepared to appear at a probe panel (if
and when it is set up) within 24 hours of
notice.
"Instituting a probe into the financial
transactions of the administration, we
believe, is a better option for the
current administration of Mr. Fayose,
instead of its recourse to falsehood,
cheap blackmail and propaganda as an
excuse for its ineptitude and lack of
direction.
"We make bold to say that the
administration of Dr. Fayemi took all its
decisions in the best interest of the
people of the state and followed the
due process of law as well as financial
regulations in all its dealings.
"It is sad to note that three weeks on
the saddle, the Fayose-led
administration is yet to chart a
direction for the state or come up with
a blueprint for its programmes.
"All that the administration does daily is
to invent fresh excuses for its
ineptitude. Governor Fayose had in the
last three weeks put the state's debt
profile at six different figures. From
N89 billion to N57 billion, to N91
billion, N69 billion, N82 billion and
lately N86 billion.
"More pathetic is that even mundane
issues such as the treasury activities of
the office of the Accountant General is
now being arrogated by an idle
government as the main focus of a
probe.
"Our advice: Stop chasing shadows, be
matured and concentrate on the
onerous task of governance. Institute
the probe now!"
