APC could sue Fayose

Published by
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has threatened that it will sue Governor Ayodele Fayose if the Paris Club refund it said was released to the state was misapplied.

Ekiti APC, in a statement on Tuesday, claimed that Paris Club refund of N9.5b was released to the state according to the conditions attached to the fund, warning that “failure to spend the money to benefit Ekiti people will force the party to approach the courts and mobilize the people on the streets to protest any misapplication of the cash.”

In the statement by the publicity secretary of the party in the state, Chief Taiwo Olatunbosun, APC said it faulted Fayose’s claim that the state’s share of the money was N4 billion after debts and local government deductions, claiming that “in the Paris Club refund protocol, the cash released to the state was neither subject to debts nor local government deductions but a special fund to pay salary.”

Olatunbosun added in the statement that “it was the state government that borrowed money from Paris Club and not local governments and so the Paris cash belonged exclusively to the state government,” adding that “it was only statutory federal allocations that are subject to debts deduction.”

He said: “We are aware that after our great party APC educated Ekiti people and workers in particular about the details and truth about the N9.5bn Paris Club refund to Ekiti State, Governor Fayose has begun a fresh and more aggressive propaganda to have his way to selfishly misapply the money.

“We are aware that Fayose has compiled fake documents with intent to deceive traditional rulers and his compromised foot soldiers in the Labour movement, who he has been using to brainwash the workers to accept their fate to hunger and penury, to create the impression that he is transparent in the management of Ekiti funds.

“Governor Fayose had applied this fraudulent method successfully for selfish reasons in the past, but this time, it is going to be a different ball-game to show Fayose that he is not the only person who must enjoy a good life among 2.6 million Ekiti people.”
