The federal government under the watch of Buhari is displaying executive rascality by disobeying court orders - Ayo Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused the Federal Government of mismanaging funds from the Federal account saying funds meant for the three tiers of government is spent by the executives only.

Speaking on Channels Television programme, Sunday Politics, the governor accused President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of involving in ‘executive rascality’ noting that even the National Assembly cannot curb the excesses of the executives.

“Every accrual in this country is supposed to go into a Federal account that is supposed to be shared by the three tiers of government. As at today, the Federal Government is spending money that belongs to the three tiers of government.

“The Supreme court nullified the excess crude account which means all accruals must go into a central purse. Where the Federal Government will take their share, the state will take their share and the local government will take their share,” he said.

Fayose said further that the state government in a Federating unit is as important as the Federal Government and the local government but claimed that the has not followed this procedure but had only involved in gross misconduct.

“What they are doing is executive rascality, and the National Assembly cannot debate this matter,” he said.

Fayose who is also the Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum also reacted to the $1billion set aside to tackle insurgency in the nation. He said this amount of money is strange.

Fayose questioned where the fund is going after the military had earlier claimed that they were on top of the problem of insurgency. He added that some governors of the PDP were not at the meeting where some governors gave approval for the Federal Government to use the said amount to tackle insurgency.

“Most times, the majority are not right. Most of the times, the majority tell lies. Especially in the democracy here, a lot would naturally be wrong with the majority.

“Governor Dickson of Bayelsa, Governor Wike of Rivers, myself, Governor of Akwa Ibom, Abia to mention a few were not present at the meeting.

“We are not talking about N1bilion we are talking about $1billion which means N365billion. That means in 365 days from now, they will be spending N1billion per day. That is strange. It is more than strange,” Fayose said.

Speaking further on the program, the governor advised that since President Buhari is going to meet President Trump tomorrow,  they should write a speech for him so that he won't go and say Nigerian youths are lazy again.

Sir,

THREAT TO LIFE

On the 12TH day of April, 2018, I was attending a party programme at Ode Ekiti in Ayekire Local Government area of Ekiti State on the invitation of Mr. Makinde Araoye being a Publicity Secretary of All Progressive Congress (A.P.C), Ekiti State Chapter.

At about 3:00pm or thereabout Chief Rotimi J. Olanbiwonnu also known as Mentilo, an erstwhile chairman of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Ekiti State chapter was looking at me ferociously while pointing his finger at me provocatively.

In the course of doing so, he uttered the following words which filter into my ears “ma ran awon boys si e, won ma ge ori e danu, won ma pa e”. The word literally means that he will send some boys to behead you, they will kill you.

Consequent upon this I confronted him that what have I done to necessitate my sudden cruel and inglorious death.

He did not in any way deny the words uttered by him, rather he reinstated what he has said before with a rider that “mo ma pa e ni mo so yen, sebi won payan sere ninu oselu ni. Alaimore ni e and that Fayemi put you in this position and empower you. Pe iso kuso ni Jide Awe nso lori radio Adaba. Gbogbo yin ati Kemi ma lo ni, tabi ke fi emi yin di. Eyin alaimore” which words literarily means that I will kill you like others who have been killed in politics for nothing. That you are an ingrate for not following a particular aspirant who allocated the position of Publicity Secretary of the party to you and others. Jide Awe is talking rubbish on Adaba radio. Kemi and all of you will pay the supreme price, if you failed to follow Fayemi.

These provocative words and threats were uttered in the presence of some members of APC Ekiti State Executives such as Mr. Paul Omotoso (Secretary), Mrs. Mary Faje, Mrs. Abiodun and others.

Having regards to the antecedent of chief Rotimi Joseph Olanbiwonnu and his likes in political thuggery and uncivilized conduct, I reasonably believe that he has the will and strength to carry out his devilish threat if not call to order timeously.

In view of the above, I am appealing to you to use your good offices to prevent unnecessary, unreasonable and unjust loss of life, particularly my life.

Thanks for expediting action on my complaint without further delay.

Yours faithfully,

Rt. Hon. Taiwo Franklin Olatunbosun.
(Former Deputy Speaker, Ekiti State)
State Publicity Secretary (APC)
Ekiti State.

Sunshine Anifowoshe: Another great mobiliser

4th April, 2018
Alonge Olufemi Alonso

Leadership has nothing to do with age, stature or position; but it is all about ability of a man to inspire and lead others successfully.

Since the inception of the expiring tenure of Gov. Peter Ayodele Fayose, I have not for once come out with a piece in my name to applaud  the generosity of  this young man who is arguably one of the best three cabinet members of the governor. My latest experience at the newly commissioned restaurant at Osekita Bus Stop, Iworoko-Ekiti is the reason behind this piece.

On Thursday, 29th March, 2018, I was coming from Ipoti-Ekiti with my personal person cum leader; Ojo Ayegbusi (Ayee) who drove his Toyota Camry. On getting to the bus stop, I saw people hailing one man. As usual, I was inquisitive to know what was going on there from afar and I asked my man whether he knew what was going on there but he replied like a typical Nigerian who will answer question with question.

We moved closer and I told him to park so as to have knowledge of what was happening. He parked and I saw an handsome looking man, Sunday Anifowoshe, the Personal Assistant to Gov. Ayodele Fayose on General Administration and Stomach Infrastructure  in the midst of the people, smiling and exchanging pleasantries with virtually everyone.

Looking up, I saw "African Kitchen" written boldly in front of where we parked our vehicle and I quickly remembered the then African Chicken at Fajuyi Park, Ado-Ekiti. The place we used to eat plenty of food with token amount.

We entered the place, saw people wining and dining. We were offered seat, food and drinks by Sunshine himself. I sat beside him and that gave me the opportunity to let him know that we were already okay right from where we were coming from.

The Disc Jockey (DJ) was busy blasting with latest songs while some guys were displaying their talents. What a beautiful day!

We were there for 1h:36 minutes and I was not only happy but over joyous with the kind of pleasant comments that people were making about the business oriented man who is the owner of the new restaurant.

The man known as Sunshine is also the  owner of one of the most popular breads in Ado-Ekiti. Anybody who passes through Ekiti State University will know how popular Sunshine Bread is.

Before the government, Sunshine was a millionaire and despite his position as a Personal Assistant to the governor, he runs his personal businesses and he is judiciously making use of his office to win more souls for his political party, PDP.

His ability to manage people around him is another sterling quality that makes him to be loved by many people.

His human relations is equal to none, very respectful,  humble and kind. Like my friend, Bola Agboola used to say , Sunshine is the  real 'Atayese' of Osoko Kingdom, may God continue to bless him.
