Fayemi’s ‘Vendetta Mission’ To Probe Me Will Fail – Fayose

Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has told governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi, that he (Fayemi) will be consumed by his vendetta mission.

The Ekiti governor was reacting to a threat by Fayemi to probe his government.

On Thursday, Fayemi revealed he will “examine” the records of monies received and expended by Governor Fayose’s administration in the last four years.

Fayemi said this after presenting his certificate of return to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Thursday.

“Well, l think we need to remove this election from personalities. This was an election that we fought on issues and it will be irresponsible on my part to come here and say that we will not examine what transpired in the last four years in the manner of government,” he said.

“What was received in Ekiti state and the expenditure in that period, why were we not able to pay salaries in the state. These issues should be examined in the interest of good governance.”

But Fayose said he is not afraid of victimisation and vendetta that Fayemi is coming with, while advising the governor-elect to first seek legitimacy for his “stolen mandate”

“It is obvious that he will be consumed in his vendetta mission and rather than grandstanding, Fayemi should first seek legitimacy for his stolen mandate,” Fayose said, in a statement issued by his spokesman Lere Olayinka.

“He (Fayemi) should stop living in the world where threat of probe scares people because we in the government of Fayose are not afraid of victimisation and vendetta that Fayemi is obviously coming with.

“Even yesterday (Wednesday) when he went to collect the certificate of the mandate that was snatched and handed to him by the powers that be in Abuja, he had to be protected by police helicopter and hundreds of armed policemen. One wonders how he is going to rule the people they forced him on.

“If Fayemi is on vendetta mission, which is obvious that he is, he will first destroy himself because like Ekiti and its people survived him during his first tenure, the people will outlive him this time too.”
