Attempt being made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to reclaim power in 2019 has been described as a plot to continue the looting of the country’s treasury.
Former governor of Ekiti state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who stated this yesterday, urged Nigerians not to use the current fuel scarcity to rate President Muhammadu Bihari’s performances saying: “what we are witnessing is just a normal curve in the life of any administration. We will get over it and move on, but largely the President has not disappointed Nigerians.”
Describing the panel of enquiry inaugurated by Governor Ayodele Fayose to probe his administration as a kangaroo one, the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, revealed that it was an attempt to smear his reputation and render him unpopular by the PDDP-led government.
“Fayose stock in trade is lying against someone to score political gains. They started with the probe of N852 million UBEC fund and when they knew they could not go far, they started concocting lies and said I looted N17 billion.
“Let t us wait and see who will go to jail between Fayose and I. I have been out of office and I am still moving free, but I am sure he won’t be able to walk free on the streets after losing immunity because of the way he had ran the state aground,” he said.
Addressing pressmen in Isan Ekiti in Oye local government area of Ekiti on Wednesday, Fayemi said Nigerians would ensure that PDP didn’t return to power because of the high level of looting it perpetrated while in the saddle.
