Ayodele Fayose Has Only Been Making A Mockery Of Ekiti State- Ex-Ekiti Governor

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Niyi Adebayo who ruled the State from 1999 to 2003 has said the current Governor of the State, Ayodele Fayose has done nothing but to make mockery of the respected State. According to Niyi, nobody in Nigeria is happy with the way Ekiti is being run by the State Governor. He also went ahead to say, Ekiti already has an airport and wonders what Fayose’s government wants to gain from starting a construction of another one. Niyi said all this while speaking with journalists yesterday in Ekiti.

“I don’t think there is anybody in Nigeria who will say he is happy with what is happening in Ekiti state. Ekiti is being turned into a pariah state and it is unfortunate that this sort of thing is happening and that is why we who are in the opposition are putting our house in order and we believe that if we all stick together and make sure that the party is in stable state, we will be able to wrestle power back from the current governor (Ayodele Fayose) that is making mockery of our state,” he said.

On the construction of the new airport, Mr Niyi said;

“Frankly speaking, even without paucity of fund, even with the way things were before, it is a surprise that anybody or any reasonable person will say that the priority for Ekiti state is an airport.

“It is definitely not an airport. We have an airport in Akure which is 45 minutes’ drive from our state capital. So building an airport in Ekiti state honestly is not a well taught out project.”
