ADO-EKITI-Media aide to Chief Segun Oni, former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Lere Olayinka has described as “total falsehood” claim by the State government that it has completed five roads projects within its first year.

Fayemi had in a two-page advertisement in The Nation newspaper of yesterday claimed that his government completed Ijero-Ikoro-Okemesi, New Iyin-NTA-Ilawe bye pass, Igede-Ilawe, Ayede-Gede-Omu and Ilawe-Erinjiyan roads.

Reacting to the claim, Olayinka said in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti Sunday that the roads were completed and already in use long time before Fayemi became governor.

He said: “We read with amazement a two-page advertisement in The Nation newspaper of yesterday on Fayemi’s achievements, and one cannot but wonder how shameless a government can be, in search of justification for the huge resources available to it.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Ijero-Ikoro-Okemesi, New Iyin-NTA-Ilawe bye pass, Igede-Ilawe and Ayede-Gede-Omu were completed close to one year before Fayemi became governor.

“Ekiti people, who have used these roads before the Salami judgment that installed Fayemi can bear witness.

“Apart from roads, Fayemi also listed procurement of audio/visual equipment, establishment of modern editing studio, installation of broadcast equipment and completion of state of the art studio for the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State (BSES), which is a lie!

“The equipment were already purchased and installation almost completed before he (Fayemi) became governor.

“Even though we understand Fayemi’s desperation to disabuse the minds of Ekiti people, who already see him as a failure and disappointment, It amounts to high level of falsehood, deceit and shamelessness for the governor to have advertised projects already completed before he assumed office as his achievements.”
