Fayose Won’t Waste Scarce Resources On White Elephant Projects – Olayinka

The Ekiti state government said Governor Ayodele Fayose, won’t waste the state’s scarce resources to execute white elephant projects, stating that most of the uncompleted projects of the immediate past administration of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was wasteful with public funds.

Special Assistant to Governor Fayose on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, responded to the claim of the All Progressive Congress, that Fayose left his predecessor’s ‘’legacy project.’’ He said it was shameful for the party’s spokesman, Taiwo Olatunbosun, to joyfully say the Fayemi administration commissioned the uncompleted Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

He stated: “At this time that intense lobby is going on in Abuja for appointments, Olatunbosun is definitely not doing Dr Kayode Fayemi any good by exposing him as someone who ran a dishonest and wasteful government.”

Olatunbosun said Oba Adejugbe Hospital was completed and commissioned by the Fayemi government. He said the contract for stocking the hospital was awarded already before Fayose cancelled it after he assumed office and left the hospital to be overtaken by weeds.

Olayinka said: “Instead of wasting the State resources on Funmi Olayinka Civic Centre, the Fayose-led government is constructing a befitting edifice; Funmi Olayinka Women Development Centre, which will have a modern library and that to us is more beneficial to the people of Ekiti than a Civic Centre.”

He said the General Hospital building was still being painted as at last year November and added that: “the Fayose-led government will complete the project as soon as the State has the required financial capability to do so.

“Those who mean well for Dr Fayemi should call his attention to the fact that Olatunbosun might be clandestinely working against his emergence as minister by indirectly exposing his wasteful spending when he was Ekiti State governor.

“Or how do you commission a hospital without medical equipment? Is hospital just about structures? Isn’t that a fraud, exposure of which can cost Dr Fayemi his ministerial ambition?

“How can a sane manager of resources borrow money to build Civic Centre? Isn’t that a sign that Dr Fayemi mismanaged Ekiti State economy?

“No doubt, persistent exposure of this sore aspect of his government to the public by no other person than his party’s spokesperson is inimical to his quest to be appointed a minister by President Muhammadu Buhari, and it is becoming more clearer that Olatunbosun has an agenda against Dr Fayemi,”  he concluded.

In a news that emanated recently, the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti state has come out to stoutly defend the former governor Kayode Fayemi, from PDP’s counter claim of stealing N4 billion state funds.
