'Here is the REASON Fayemi never wanted to leave as governor of Ekiti State despite that Ekiti people voted him out on June 21.
Here are what Fayemi used borrowed N3.3bn to put in place as his residence in Ekiti. Contract for the maintenance of the Monarchical mansion was awarded at N150m per annum!
With electronic bed costing N30m, electronic jacuzzi and more than 10 Waiting Rooms, Fayemi used N3.3bn borrowed fund just for his comfort and that of his wife!That's a state where many people cannot afford to feed for just oncein a day!Shouldn't Fayemi have spent this N3.3bn on job creating projects?
Little wonder Fayemi never wanted to leave the government house even after Ekiti people unanimously voted him out.' Lere Olayinka (Special Adviser on Information and Social Media)

He spoke while administering oaths on the newly appointed Secretary to the
State Government, Dr Mrs Modupe Alade and other Special Assistants in Ado
Ekiti. Fayose berated Fayemi for spending such amount of money on a building
when the masses were facing serious hardship and challenge of abject poverty.
He said : “My heart nearly failed me when I got to the new Government lodge
on Thursday . The mansion cost N3.3 billion . It was initially awarded for N2.3
billion and later increased to N2.7 billion, while a sum of N640 million was
used to procure
fittings and furniture. And this building will cost a sum of N150m maintenance annually. Ekiti cannot sustain this and we have to do something about it.

How can a Governor be living in such house when the masses are living in
abject poverty?, he

asked .
The Governor also assured that his administration would ensure strict
compliance to35 percent Affirmative Action for women in government in
consonance with the Beijing Declaration of 1993. He said that the appointment
of Alade underscored the enormous respect he had for the women, pledging that
his government would protect them and allot more appointments and elective
positions to them during the 2015
State and Federal Legislative polls.
He declared, “let me tell the men here who are politicians to know that some
of them will be asked to step down for women in the election next year. I want
to assure you that those that will step down have nothing to lose, we are going
to reward you accordingly. But if you disobey us, we will still go ahead to do
it, as long as what we are pursuing is in the interest of Ekiti people,” Fayose
posited.
The governor promised that his government will reward loyalty and hardwork,
particularly for politicians and those in the civil service to promote the
culture of brotherliness in Ekiti. Fayose said he was desirous of streamlining
his government to
a sizeable form, particularly the civil service to reduce cost, adding that he would pursue the restructuring with the fear of God.

“There is no point having 39 Permanent Secretaries, whose Running Grants we
won’t
be able to pay. I want to maintain a sizeable number of political and top government
functionaries, I mean the one we can sustain. But whatever we are going to do we have human face,” he declared .

Fayose urged the political appointees to be patient with him in view of the
parlous State of the Government’s finances, advising them to desist from
embarrassing him with text messages to solicit for appointments.
“Some have started disturbing me with text messages telling me to appoint
them this
or that, you have to stop this. When the time comes, your own appointment will come.You don’t need to tell me the kind of appointment I will give you. I may even give you something better than what you are requesting for or you may not get
appointment at all.”
