Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has condemned his predecessor, Kayode Fayemi, for committing N3.3 billion to the construction of a Governor’s Lodge built at the twilight of his administration.

Fayose said he could not rationalise how the government could expend such a huge amount of money on Government’s Lodge when an average citizen of the state could not afford three square meals. See pics after the cut...

His words: “My heart nearly failed me when I got to the new governor’s lodge on last Thursday. The mansion cost N3.3 billion. It was initially awarded for N2.3 billion and later increased to N2.7 billion, while a sum of N640 million was used to procure fittings and furniture.

“And this building will require N150 million to maintain annually. Ekiti cannot sustain this and we have to do something about it.

How could a governor be living in such a house when the masses are living in abject poverty?“, he asked.

Fayemi, wife spent N100m on bedrooms, toilets -Ekiti

Ekiti Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has accused his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, of spending a whooping N50m on beds in his bedroom and that of his wife in the new Ekiti State Government House.

The governor claimed that between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms would be in the region of N100m.

Fayose made the accusation in a statement ‘N3.3bn new Government House is Fayemi’s show of wickedness to Ekiti people’, issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on Information and Social Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka.

But Fayemi said the allegation sounded silly and was more of comedy of errors, advising Fayose to stop the “theatre of the absurd.”

Olayinka claimed that the bed on which Fayemi slept before he left government, costs over N30m while claiming that that of his wife costs over N20m.

Oyebode said, “I have taken a guided tour of that place and I don’t think I have seen such outcry. “I don’t know where they got their figure from, it sounds absurd. I will advise them to stop this theatre of the absurd. Governorship is a serious business and I am appealing to them not to reduce it to a joke.

“Whether Fayose stays there or not is his cup of tea. The new Government House is a legacy building. Dr. Fayemi did not go with it to Isan-Ekiti; it is for the state.”
