Special Assistant on New Media to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State, Lere Olayinka, has said that the Minister of Mines and Steel
Development and former governor of the State, Dr Kayode Fayemi
“will
continue to live in the fool’s paradise concerning his scandalous defeat
in the June 21, 2014 governorship election.”
Olayinka, who was reacting to Fayemi’s statement on Saturday that “at
the appropriate time, he (Governor Fayose) would meet his punishment,”
described Fayemi as a “serial betrayal of confidence whose political future will remain bleak, having betrayed his number one political benefactor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu."
“If there is anyone that deserves to meet both physical and divine
punishment, that person is Kayode Fayemi, who plunged Ekiti State into
debt by stealing the state blind and betrayed someone like Asiwaju
Tinubu, who made him governor,” Olayinka said.
He declared that “Since Fayemi has never won any election in Ekiti
and he became governor through judicial manipulation, he can never
appreciate democracy. Even the primary election that gave him the Action
Congress (AC) governorship ticket in 2006 was manipulated in his
favour.”
The governor’s spokesperson, who challenged Fayemi to file his case
at the Supreme Court, said, “We will meet him there and surely, he will
be defeated as usual.”
Olayinka challenged Fayemi to come out openly to declare his
intention to contest the 2018 governorship, reiterating that, “he
(Fayemi) remains a hard-sell in Ekiti.”
He added that; “in saner climes, a man like Fayemi, who was indicted
by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) for illegally
withdrawing the sum of N852.9 million from the State Universal Education
Board (SUBEB) account, making UBEC to suspend Ekiti State from
accessing any further FGN-UBE Intervention Fund will be burying his head
in shame.
“Like I have maintained, Fayemi failed Ekiti people, including
majority of his party members as governor, as a minister, he is also
failing Ekiti people because up till today, he cannot point to one
benefit Ekiti has derived from having him as minister of Mines and Steel
Development.”
