Former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni has faulted claims by Governor Kayode Fayemi that 80 percent of the roads projects embarked upon by his predecessors were abandoned.
Governor Fayemi had claimed in a newspaper interview that “Over 80 percent of the roads that were started by our predecessors were abandoned as at the time we came into office.”
But reacting to the claim, Oni’s Media Aide, Mr. Lere Olayinka, said “no amount of face-saving propaganda can erase the fact that over 400 kilometres of road were initiated and completed by the Oni-led government while over 500 kilometres were ongoing before Fayemi was judicially imposed on Ekiti.”
He said, “by now, governance in Ekiti should no longer be about what Fayemi’s predecessor did or failed to do, but about what the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) government in the State has done or is doing.
Unfortunately, governance in Ekiti is still about what will be done, not what has been done or what is being done.”
Olayinka, who said Fayemi has in the last two weeks lived up to his credential as a “pathological liar” said the governor’s claim that he met abandoned road projects and that communities that have never seen water in the State now have water because his government had constructed dams was the third major lie he told in the last two weeks.
