The Peoples Democratic Party, Ekiti State chapter has alleged that the outgoing Governor Kayode Fayemi has been involved in shady deals.
It claims it has evidence to substantiate its earlier accusation that the Fayemi administration have been engaging in last minutes recruitment of workers and panic withdrawal of funds among others.
However, Fayemi, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, on Sunday described the allegations as wicked, reckless, malicious, and a calculated attempt to tarnish the reputation of his administration, and an anticipatory excuse for lack of performance when the new government gets into office, according to report from The Punch
He challenged the PDP to mention the banks where the alleged illegal movement of funds took place and explain where the so called 3,000 workers were recruited illegally.
But describing the governor’s defence as an afterthought, the PDP said it had discovered more illegal and underhand deals done by the administration.
“The Commissioner for Information, in his defence of the allegations, confirmed that the recruitment of workers is an ongoing process, while in another breadth, the administration denied employing new workers,” the PDP said.
The party alleged that the outgoing government had wasted about N700m on ‘thank you’ billboards produced by the Ekiti State Signage Agency, and that the billboards were now useless because the election didn’t go the way of the All Progressives Congress.
