Governor Fayose Criticized Former Gov Fayemi For Spending N100M On Bedroom (Photos)
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has condemned his predecessor, Kayode Fayemi, for spending N3.3 billion on the Governor’s lodge.
Vanguard reports that Fayose made the following remarks while administering oath of office for his new Special Assistants:
“My heart nearly failed me when I
got to the new governor’s lodge last Thursday. The mansion cost N3.3
billion. It was initially awarded for N2.3 billion and later increased
to N2.7 billion, while a sum of N640 million was used to procure
fittings and furniture.
“And this building will require N150
million to maintain annually. Ekiti cannot sustain this and we have to
do something about it.
How could a governor be living in such a house when the masses are living in abject poverty?”
Speaking further, the governor’s aide said; “The bed on
which Fayemi slept before he left government alone costs over N30
million! That of his wife costs over N20 million!
“Between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100 million.
“How can a responsible government use borrowed fund 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 once in a day?
“People should ask the outgone 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 employments for our teeming
unemployed youths?
