Special Assistant to the Governor of Ekiti State on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka in a statement took on the APC over allegations that Governor Ayodele Fayose is spending state funds to fund his court case with the EFCC.
The APC had claimed that Fayose had spent N22m obtaining the services of Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) to help him fight his matter in court.
Olayinka said “the allegation is a continuation of the APC’s life of disparaging eminent Nigerians that are not dancing to the destructive tunes of the party.”
Fayose who is still caught in a storm regarding the funding for his 2014 election campaign involving Zenith bank who denied funding his election is being hit on all sides at the moment with this allegation just one in many.
Olayinka’s statement reads; “The APC “beer parlour jesters” in Ekiti must have taken their lamentation over their loss of power to a psychotic level that anything will make meaning to them no matter unreasonable.” He said.
“Ekiti State government did not and will not spend any N22 million on Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) because the government is not being ran like the APC government of Dr Kayode Fayemi that plunged the State into debt.
“The reality is that, those evil men in the APC that won’t even mind to malign God are seeing Chief Ozekhome as an uncompromising lawyer, who will not blow hot and cold at the same time. They see Chief Ozekhome as a lawyer that will not join them to defend their regime of impunity and for that they have opted to malign him as they have done to others.
“While we are confident that Chief Ozekhome will take them one legally, we make bold to say that at no time was the eminent lawyer travelled to Ekiti by air, not to talk chattered flight.”
