LATEST UPDATE:
Ekiti govt hits PDP over fraud allegationsEkiti State Government has reacted to the allegations of financial improprietymade by the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Chief Dipo Anisulowo, chair of the Transition Committee put in place by the Governor-elect, Mr Ayodele Fayose, describing the outburst of the two as irresponsible and infantile.
The media have been awash in the last two weeks with stories of allegations of shady deals levelled against the incumbent administration. The allegations ranged from last-minute recruitment of workers, to panicky withdrawal of funds among others.
The state government, however, said in a statement in Ado-Ekiti yesterday that no responsible party or transition committee would make such allegations against the incumbent administration, especially when such claims were unfounded.
The statement, which was signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Yinka Oyebode and made available to journalists in Ado- Ekiti yesterday, said the Fayemi administration had run the affairs of the state in the last four years with utmost regard to public accountability and fiscal responsibility laws, a development that had earned the state accolades from relevant authorities and organisations both locally and globally.
“Having built a reputation of service and integrity over the years, nothing, not even a controversial loss in an election would make us go back on this path of honour. Neither are we going to succumb to cheap and infantile blackmail,” the statement added.
Saying that the allegations of the PDP were not only wicked, reckless and malicious, the statement added that it was a calculated attempt to tarnish the reputation of the current administration in the state and an anticipatory excuse for lack of performance when the new government got into office.
The state government challenged the PDP to mention the banks where the alleged illegal movement of funds took place and explain where the 3,000 workers were recruited illegally.
