Governor of Ekiti
State, Mr Ayo Fayose continued his verbal onslaught against former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday, as he demanded immediate return
of his N10 million donation to his library project with interest.
Governor Fayose, who described
the library project as one of the greatest fraud ever, said the 30
governors under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were
compelled to donate N10m each in 2005 to the multibillion naira
project.
“We were compelled to make the donation as PDP governors in 2005 and now I need the return of my money with interest”, he said.
Fayose speaking in
Ado-Ekiti on Monday at the opening of the Markarfi led PDP Southwest
stakeholders’ meeting, he advised the former President Obasanjo to
stop seeing himself as a saint.
Fayose, who visibly expressed his
anger against some leaders of the PDP party for refusing to speak up
against political persecution of some members of the party by the All :
Progressive Congress led
Federal government, said they should not be afraid to speak against
tyranny and any form of oppression. He also Urged the members to remain
bold and undaunted in the face of perceived intimidation by agents of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) , Fayose predicted that God will
soon move against those that are oppressing the PDP members in the
country by declaring their seats vacant.
The Governor,
described the Sheriff’s faction as ‘moles’ and ‘political kidnappers’
within the party, To me, I stand with Makarfi, because the judiciary has
no reason to appoint the chairman and executive members for party
owner.
“How can you call yourself the leader of a party and be working for the opposition.”
“The
tough time we are passing through is just a phase as tough time never
last but tough people do”. “They said the PDP people are corrupt, but if
you look critically, the PDP are mere petty thieves while APC members
are super robbers. They are only interested in destroying and oppressing
our members while the people groan in sufferings. Today, the country is
under emergency situation”.
