The relatively important, yet consistent voice of the All Progressives Congress, in Ekiti state, appears to be telling Governor Fayose to remove the speck in his eyes, before trying to remove the log in someone else’s eye.
After the presidential appointments that’s still causing ripples in the polity, Ayo Fayose, who has a thing for President Buhari, couldn’t resist the chance to be heard.
But we hear, he’s toed the same path, and travelled similar roads, not so long ago.
The state chapter of the APC, says Fayose disenfranchised Muslims in is own appointments, while also favouring his kinsmen for some key positions.
Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, released a statement to this effect, a few hours ago.
“Muslims were not given up to one percent of the appointments made by Fayose’s administration.”
“While Buhari’s appointments of his personal aides were based mainly on merit and conviction that they would deliver good services to lift Nigeria out of the woods, Fayose’s consideration for appointments was based on narrow selfish motives for self-preservation.
“While Buhari considered competence, merit and track records of sound morality in public conduct in the appointments of his personal aides, self-preservation is the major criterion for appointments in Fayose’s government.
“This self-preservation is anchored on prospects of the vulnerability of the appointees to manipulation and family affinity which Fayose believes he can exploit to enable him have a firm grip on the state and do whatever he wants with the fortunes of Ekiti people without restraints.”
“In the twilight of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, Governor Fayose chose a 73-year-old Ambassador Toye Olofintuyi from his (Fayose) Irepodun/Ifelodun local government as Ekiti State representative at the Federal Civil Service Commission against the wishes of party leaders.
“Fayose’s Chief of Staff is from the governor’s ward. His Personal Assistant, Secretary of the Local Government Education Authority and the chairman of Ekiti State Traffic Management Agency (EKSTMA) are all from Afao-Ekiti, the governor’s home town.”
