Ekiti residents haven’t felt Fayemi’s impact in three years ― PDP

The Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the administration of Dr Kayode Fayemi in the last three years have not impacted positively on the residents.

The party’s publicity secretary, Raphael Adeyanju, in a statement, on Tuesday, noted that there was nothing on ground to warrant the elaborate and expensive anniversary celebration, describing it as a “celebration of shamelessness on the part of the government.”

The statement read: “We watch with a bemused sadness as the ruling APC government gleefully engage in back-slapping and self-adulation after staying in government for three years without any meaningful program that benefited Ekiti People.

“It is shameful the state government invited the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to commission only a project executed by the administration in three years, which is the Civic Centre in Ado Ekiti which started seven years ago.

“Regretfully, the Vice President and his entourage landed in Akure, a thirty-minute drive from Ado Ekiti and was picked with a chopper at the Akure local airport to Ado Ekiti, because of the terrible, deplorable and precarious condition of the Akure/Iju/Ikere road and other roads leading to the state have all collapsed.

“Our people have never been this disappointed, by both the state and the federal and state government. The poverty level has reached an alarming stage. People now groan in pain, while the APC government has no clue on how to tackle the problem. It is a disgrace that instead of admitting failure this administration has continued in a game of deception.”

However, the ruling APC dismissed the accusation that Governor Kayode Fayemi’s third year was a colossal failure, describing the statement as coming from frustrated minds and disoriented opposition.

The APC State Publicity Secretary, Segun Dipe, in his response, said: “How can anyone say paying of workers’ salaries for three years without owing doesn’t worth celebrating. Even if it is one naira, the civil servants can now plan their monies without the governor appearing on the radio every month explaining why he won’t be able to pay.

“Does the completion of the Civic Centre, which the former Governor Ayodele Fayose abandoned despite reaching 80 per cent and tarring of so many roads don’t worth celebrating?

“The fact that Governor Fayemi is now the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ forum, making Ekiti a force to be reckoned with at the national level worth celebrating, in case the PDP doesn’t know.

“Teachers across all levels can now have access to government’s loans, does this not call for celebration? If you look at the quantum of monies coming to Ekiti and the projects being executed by this government, you will know that this third year is worth celebrating, so I don’t know what the PDP was saying.”
