'DECLARE YOUR ASSETS NOW'- EKITI STATE APC TELLS GOVERNOR.

In line with what the president,the vice president and a senator started, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has asked the
state governor Ayodele Fayose to declare his assets in line with
President Buhari and VP Osinbajo, who he always criticizes.
In a statement released today September 8 and signed by its
Publicity secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the party accused Fayose
of having properties in Ghana, Dubai, South Africa, Abuja, Ibadan &
Ikoyi.
“The governor must seize the opportunity of declaring his assets
to douse speculations of his alleged funneling of the state
resources to his private enterprises abroad. It is curious that he
has not abused President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo after they declared their assets. Fayose’s loud
silence on the President in this case is curious because the
governor has never seen anything good in whatever the President
does. We are worried by the unconfirmed reports of primitive
acquisitions by the governor who allegedly own properties in
Ghana, Dubai, South Africa, Abuja, Ibadan and Banana Islands and
Magodo in Lagos which were believed to have been acquired in the
last nine months after he assumed office. Our party is aware that
Fayose had no visible means of income prior to October 16, 2014
when he became governor and the properties he owned in Ibadan
and Lagos are subjects of litigation by the EFCC, which is probing
the governor for misappropriation and diversion of N1.3b poultry
project cash to personal use in 2005. “Fayose is alleged to be
building a state-of-the-art hotel in Dubai after he became Ekiti
governor and after he is also reported to have paid a whopping
N722 million to himself as “arrears of his allowances” as governor
during his first term on the strength of the Supreme Court
judgment which nullified his impeachment. Curiously too, Fayose
has kept mute on various sums of money he has received on
behalf of the state government, such as the N22 billion refund on
Federal roads, N2billion ecological fund, N2billion micro credit
fund, which he has diverted, N2.1 billion bailout NLNG fund, N9.6
billion bailout cash, N8.5 billion windfall received in June and an
average of N3billion regular federal allocations he has been
receiving since October 2014 till date. It would be recalled that in
his former declaration of assets in 2003, the governor allegedly
swore to an oath declaring two barren lands in a thick forest as
two completed mansions in Ibadan, the properties the EFCC later
confirmed as properties built with the alleged proceeds of the
fraudulent poultry project four years after he became the governor.
The recent appointment by Fayose of a 72 year old illiterate as a
council boss and many others of his yes-men in other Council
areas has fuelled our suspicion that he has successfully converted
the resources of Local governments to his personal use without
being accountable to anyone. It has thus become a matter of
necessity for Mr. Fayose to declare his assets"the party said. The
party added it might have to consider legal action if the state
governor fails to declare his assets “We will stop at nothing to
make sure that Fayose declares his assets openly so that we
could remind him if he leaves any of his assets undeclared,”the
