For the first time since he left office over two months ago, former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has spoken on his four year tenure against the background of allegations against him by the new administration of Governor Ayo Fayose.

Fayemi refuted many allegations levelled against him by his successor whom he accused of elevating falsehood and deceit as an official policy of his (Fayose’s) administration.

Speaking on a special programme on Akure, Ondo State-based radio station, ADABA 88.9 FM, Friday evening which was monitored by our correspondent in Ado-Ekiti, Fayemi maintained that the total amount of debt he left behind for his successor was N36 billion contrary to Fayose’s claim of a whopping N85 billion.

Fayemi also refuted Fayose’s claim that he (Fayose) left N10. 4 billion in the government coffers shortly after he was impeached from office in October 2006.

He disclosed that available records show that Fayose left N3.5 billion and a lot of contractor obligations behind after his dramatic ouster from power in 2006.

For the first time, the Fayemi also revealed that actual cost of the new Government House otherwise known as the Ayoba Villa. The edifice, according to him, was built at the cost of N2.1 billion.

Fayemi said the cost of the Ayoba Villa, which is being presently overlaid with marble by the Fayose administration, was lower than other newly-constructed Government Houses in other states of the federation.

He also carpeted Fayose for claiming in his monthly media chat earlier in the day that the new Government House is yet to be completed maintaining that “the edifice is not only completed but is also fully furnished”.

Fayemi also expressed shock at the claim of Fayose and his aides that each of the beds in the Ayoba Villa cost N50 million saying there is no place in the world where a single bed is being sold for that amount.

He warned Fayose to stop peddling lies and face the serious business of governance instead if reducing governance to comedy which, he noted, is portraying Ekiti in bad light in the comity of states in Nigeria and before the international community
