The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has accused former Governor Fayose of forging signatures of party members to sell the party secretariat.Barr. Gboyega Oguntuase, PDP Chairman in Ekiti state made these accusations, saying the former Governor sold the party property to one of his cronies without informing the State Working Committee (SWC).
According to him, Fayose approached him with a document meant for the sale of the secretariat which he turned down.
However, it came as a shock when he found out the former Ekiti Governor carried out the sale without the knowledge of the SWC
“What he said that we sold the property in collaboration with him, is cruel, untrue and slanderous. I believe that by that statement, he has committed libel on a high scale.”
“To the best of my knowledge as chairman of the party, and to the knowledge of many SWC members, we have not sold the secretariat. I want to tell you that any document they say they have, it is absolute falsehood.”
“It is true he approached me to sign a document, but I told him, it was going to be a disservice to the party. I told him I can’t sign and I did not sign. God of heaven knows that that was exactly what transpired in his house. He even asked me what I want to take and I told him I can’t take such a sacrilegious offering.”
“Our property if it has been sold via fraud, shall be recovered via thorough and extensive legal action that will be taken by this party. We have received assurances from loyal party leaders that they are with us.”

“He claims that the property was sold at foundation level, but we monitored the construction up to the second and third floor. So, it is untrue that we have sold the property and if the governor has done it, he should retrace his step and surrender the document to the party”, the Ekiti PDP Chairman said.
