An aide to the Ekiti state governor, Lere Olayinka, says it is strange that Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) could go public with accusation of fraud against someone who has not been pronounced guilty by any court of law
Challenges Falana to make public any evidence of Governor Fayose’s stealing of Ekiti state funds
Calls on Falana to put pressure on his allies in the EFCC to look into the alleged looting of Ekiti state treasury by the past APC administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi
Olayinka urged Femi Falana to stop thinking that he can realise his governorship ambition in Ekiti State by maligning Governor Ayodele Fayose.
An aide to the Ekiti state governor Lere Olayinka has warned Femi Falana (SAN) to desist from his unwarranted utterances against Governor Ayodele Fayose or risk falling sick because of his personal hatred for the governor.
Speaking on the backdrop of accusations made by Falana at the maiden edition of Ekitipanupo colloquium in Lagos on Thursday, September 8, that Fayose was looting funds meant for the development of Ekiti state, Olayinka said it is strange that Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) could go public with accusation of fraud against someone who has not been pronounced guilty by any court of law.
According to Vanguard, the governor’s spokesperson who challenged Falana to make public any evidence of Governor Fayose’s stealing of Ekiti state funds, said the the lawyer was castigating the governor because of his ambition to contest the Ekiti state governorship election in 2018.
He called on Falana to put pressure on his allies in the EFCC to look into the alleged looting of Ekiti state treasury by the past All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi.
He said: “Is Falana unaware of the diversion of N852, 936,713.92 counterpart fund paid by the Ekiti State Government to access the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) 2012 Marching grant by the Fayemi-led government, which has made it impossible for Ekiti State to access UBEC matching grant for 2013, 2014 and 2015?
“Is Falana not aware of the N25 billion bond and other commercial bank loans that the Fayemi’s government took and misappropriated, on which over N1 billion is being deducted from the State federal allocation now?
“Why did Falana keep silent when Ekiti State treasury was being looted right, left and center by the APC government of Fayemi? Where was Falana when uncompleted projects like the Oba Adejugbe General Hospital and State Pavilion in Ado Ekiti were being commissioned by Fayemi?
Olayinka urged Femi Falana to stop thinking that he can realise his governorship ambition in Ekiti state by maligning Governor Ayodele Fayose, adding that the lawyer should take the option of coming to Ekiti and selling himself to the people.
Meanwhile, Governor Ayodele Fayose has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) influenced the postponement of the Edo state governorship election because it feared that it will lose the election.
The governor in a statement on Thursday, September 8, signed by his special assistant on public communications and new media, Lere Olayinka, said the APC is ready to employ whatever crude means to subvert the wish of the people in Edo state.
The governor criticised the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari for allegedly using security agencies to arm-twist democratic process.
