The State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of using lies and blackmail to destabilise the party and ridicule its leaders despite the fact that he has no plan for the development of Ekiti State.
In a statement by State Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the party said “We are not surprised that Fayose has resorted to blackmail and lies to cause disaffection within the APC ranks as we have seen recently.
“He started with me, lying that I was afflicted with a strange ulcer and that a spiritualist had advised me to beg him (the governor) and return to the PDP before the sore could be healed.”
“Recently, Fayose allegedly stage-managed a meeting with some traditional rulers to lure Bamisile into attendance in a popular hotel where the governor was hiding and surprisingly burst into the meeting pleading with the former Speaker to return to the PDP, but which he turned down only for Fayose to turn story against Bamisile to the consternation of the innocent man. Few minutes after meeting, the news was all over the world that Bamisile had agreed to return to the PDP after meeting with Fayose.
“This is the same way Fayose and his aides forged President Muhammadu Buhari’s medical report claiming that he had cancer only for the Management of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital to dismiss the document as forgery, just as he lied during the campaign that he saw Buhari on sick bed when in actual fact the man was in far away London delivering a lecture.
“This same Fayose blackmailed Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) by pasting his posters as a governorship aspirant in 2006 even when the elder statesman never contemplated any elective position,” he explained.
“Because he has no plan for the development of Ekiti, Fayose has been consistently lying in the last 10 months that Fayemi left N86 billion debt only for the Debt Management Office to declare that Fayemi actually left a debt of N18.8 b.
“He once denied collecting N2b ecological fund but owned up when he got a hint that we were about investigating this through the FOI law just the same way he denied collecting N22b refund on roads.
“He recently denied collecting N8.5b from the Federation Account in June 2015 even when the figures are on the website of the Federal Ministry of Finance for all to see.”
State Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party , Mr Jackson Adebayo while reacting to the statement by said APC is fabricating falsehood to cover up lies and inconsistencies among their so called leaders.
