Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to properly declared his assets, rather than deluding
Nigerians with mud houses and few herds of cattle to gain cheap
publicity.
A statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant to the Ekiti State
Governor on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka, Fayose counselled the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State to tell president
Governor on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka, Fayose counselled the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State to tell president
Buhari to make his assets properly as he promised Nigerians, rather
than asking Governor Ayodele Fayose to declare his assets publicly
Fayose, who reacted to a statement issued by the APC, asking the
governor to publicly declare his assets said, “Governor Fayose has
declared his assets as provided by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria and whoever that is not satisfied can approach the
Court or the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) for copy of his assets
declaration form.”
He said the APC was only raising issues on the governor’s already
declared assets because of his critical stance on President Buhari,
adding that; “unlike President Buhari, Governor Fayose will never shy
away from what he owns, he will never deny his assets because he
acquired them legitimately.
“The governor does not need the easy and cheap excitement of declaring
mud houses or herds of cows as assets for the applause of the gullible.”
Fayose said further: “We know where everybody, including President
Buhari wealth are hidden and the APC should not provoke the governor to
such an extent that he will begin to reveal their hidden assets.
“Nigerians demanded that President Buhari must declare his assets
publicly because that was what the President promised when he was
seeking the people’s votes.
“It was part of President Buhari’s electoral promises that his assets
will be declared publicly and up till today, he has not done that. We
have only been told that the president, whom they said was poor to the
extent that he had to take bank loan to buy his party’s nomination, is
now the owner of a mini estate in Asokoro, Abuja that is worth over N3
billion.
“The APC should rather explain to Nigerians how a man they said had no
houses anywhere apart from Daura and Kaduna suddenly become owner of
houses and landed properties in Kano, Abuja and Port-Harcourt?
“They should also tell Nigerians what happened when President Buhari headed Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) and why they lied to Nigerians that the president was poor, thereby obtaining Nigerians votes by trick.”
