The Ekiti Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has expressed its anger at the president and hence demanded refund of Kayode Fayemi’s contribution to his election campaign.
The opposition party revealed how Kayode Fayemi, a former governor of the state and current minister of solid mineral development donated the sum of N1.5 billion from the state’s treasury to the Buhari campaign organisation.
The Ekiti PDP which had earlier expressed its dissatisfaction at the use of EFCC by the president to fight members of the opposition party has therefore demanded a refund from the president.
In a statement issued by the state PDP and signed by Jackson Adebayo, the party’s state publicity secretary, Ekiti PDP said: “Equity and justice demand that Buhari should return what he got from Ekiti state treasury through Fayemi if he is running after those who allegedly got money from the office of the national security adviser.”
The statement continued: “N1.5 billion is a lot of money and Ekiti state government will only need to add some millions to be able to pay one month salary if Buhari returns the money.
“The APC government of Fayemi left office with August and September 2014 salaries of workers unpaid but the same Fayemi could donate N1.5 billion to Buhari’s campaign just because he wanted to be minister.
“Where then is the morality in Buhari’s anti-corruption posture when he was funded with stolen fund?
“The president must therefore return the N1.5 billion stolen from Ekiti state that was used to fund his election.”
