The Ekiti state chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has maintained that the state governor, Ayo Fayose, owns a property in Dubai, United Arab Emirate.
This is coming on the heels of a recent publication that listed names of ex-government official who own properties in Dubai and Gov. Fayose’s subsequent denial.
In a statement signed by the state’s publicity secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the APC stated that they have in the last year severally raised the alarm over the governor’s monthly travel to Dubai after receiving the State’s allocation. The statement which called Fayose a “pathological liar”
also accused the governor of lavishing Ekiti state money in Dubai.
It would be recalled that Gov. Fayose had released a statement denying the claims that he, amongst many other Nigerian ex-government officials, own property in Dubai. Fayose also promised to waive his immunity as governor if any house in Dubai is linked to him.
Read the statement by the Ekiti State APC below:
“We will rather believe in the official statement of the Government of UAE listing Fayose as a property owner than to believe Fayose who we all know is a pathological liar. Only last December, we raised the alarm that Fayose for the umpteenth time again travelled to Dubai with about N250m Ekiti money when he fraudulently collected estacode for 10 aides who never travelled with him.
“It is the height of insensitivity and wickedness on the part of Governor Fayose, who daily deceives Ekiti workers that Ekiti State is broke, to loot the treasury and invest in property in Dubai.
“Not done, Fayose imposed heavy taxes on Ekiti masses thereby making life difficult for them while he currently owes Ekiti civil servants four months’ salaries even though he collects federal allocation to the state every month, yet he is owing pensioners five months’ arrears while he and his wife travel to Dubai almost interchangeably.”
