Ekiti
State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described as absurd, claim by the
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed that looters
have resorted to burying stolen funds in their backyards, deep forests
and burial grounds.Fayose said: “Looters in the Muhammadu Buhari’s Presidency,
especially those being compensated for funding the election of the
President in 2015 bury their own loots in the Villa with Presidential
protection.The governor asked; “Should it be wrong for other supposed looters
that do not have presidential protection like the All Progressives
Congress (APC) looters to bury their loots in burial grounds probably
for spiritual protection?”In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said
“Nigerians can no longer be fooled with stage-managed loots recoveries, with no traceable owners (looters), especially when the
loots are traceable to close associates of the president and his cabinet
members.He said; “Obviously, this so-called anti-corruption war has become a
laughing stock with N49 million found in Kaduna Airport, N448 million
discovered in a shop at Victoria Island, Lagos and N13 billion found in
Ikoyi, Lagos neither having owners nor the identities of owners of the
properties where the money was found known.”Governor Fayose maintained that “It is either the money belongs to
members of Buhari’s government or it is being planted by the government
to sustain its fake anti-corruption fight in the minds of the people.”He said; “Enough of stage-managed and fake anti-corruption war aimed
solely at opposition figures, especially presidential hopefuls in the
2019 election.”The governor noted that two different laws were now being operated in
the country, with one law for the APC and those who decamp to the party
and the other for the opposition, especially those perceived as having
presidential ambition.“The narrative they push daily is that only those in their government
are saint while other Nigerians, including those in the National
Assembly, Judiciary, opposition politicians and the civil servants arerogues while only Buhari’s appointees are saints.
“To worsen matters, the cluelessness of the APC government in the last two years has plunged the country into debt without anything to show.“The cabals in the Presidency are also taking advantage of the President’s state of health, which is as a result of his age to oppress Nigerians.
“Nigerians must therefore keep their eyes on the ball and not be carried away by the orchestrated distractions aimed at preventing them from seeing how the APC led government has failed woefully.”
He called on the international community to hold Nigeria accountable on the recovered N13 billion cash found in that Ikoyi, Lagos apartment saying; “this must not be swept under the carpet.
