A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Biodun Akin-Fasae has said that Governor Ayodele Fayose’s needless attack on President Muhammadu Buhari is negatively affecting the state.
Akin-Fasae who is also the former chairman of the state chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) said the people of the state are not in support of Fayose’s frequent outbursts against the President.
Akin-Fasae reportedly said “His attacks on the President are unbecoming because Ekiti people did not elect him to be attacking the president. Governors Ben Ayade of Cross River, Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, Willie Obiano of Anambra and Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe are in opposition parties and they are in good terms with the President and their states are reaping the benefits.
“Fayose’s needless attacks are portraying Ekiti in bad light in the comity of states, that’s not the way to attract local and foreign investment.
“There is no foreign investment that the federal government does not authorise and any state that does not attend the Fiscal Responsibility Committee meeting could have his allocation withheld.
“The last time United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon came to Nigeria, $500 million was shared to states that attended, Ekiti never benefited because the state was not represented.”
