Stop lying against us, Omirin tells Fayose

The embattled Speaker of Ekiti State House of
Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin, has warned Governor
Ayodele Fayose to stop churning out lies against the 19
All Progressives Congress lawmakers.
He was reacting to allegations by Fayose on state radio
and television that he and other APC lawmakers
demanded N365 million bribe to clear the commissioner-
nominees and 10 percent of the N2bn MDGs funds.
Omirin in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media,
Wole Olujobi, said the Assembly under his leadership had
a record of integrity by passing 75 bills into law under the
administration of the immediate past Governor, Dr.
Kayode Fayemi, without demanding for money.
Omirin said instead of blaming the seven Peoples
Democratic Party members for demanding 10 percent of
the N2bn MDGS fund, the governor had turned a full
circle to accuse the APC lawmakers.
He said, “I have never seen this kind of incorrigible
attitude all my life. He told us to our face that he would
lie against us to set Ekiti people against us. I thought it
was a joke.
“In actual fact, it was the PDP members that suggested
that we should demand for 10 percent cut in the N2 billion
MDGs fund and all APC lawmakers said no.
“We even called the attention of the governor to this
attempted fraud. How the governor has now turned full
circle to accuse APC lawmakers of demanding for bribe is
baffling. One good thing though is that Ekiti people know
the kind of governor they have.
“The alleged N1.3billion poultry fraud case is still in
court. There were many things coated in sugar that he told
Ekiti people about the poultry project.
“Evidence of that lie and allegation of fraud on the people
can be found in Justice Adamu Hobon’s court at the
Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti where details of how
the governor allegedly defrauded Ekiti people are being
examined for judicial interpretaion. Here we are again on
MDG N2bn fund.”
Omirin urged the Ekiti people to beware of the antics of
the Governor “who have turned statecraft in Ekiti Sate
to the theatre of the absurd, where stunts and propaganda
have taken the place of reason and candour in the
mobilization of people and resources for the growth of the
state.”
He assured that the APC lawmakers would continue to
tread the path of integrity to save the people from dishonest
people who want to set Ekiti people against the lawmakers
through lies and deceit to achieve sinister motives.
