Opposite to hypothesis that some members of the Ekiti State Home of Meeting are harbouring ill-feelings towards the state Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the lawmakers have clarified that their relationship with the governor stays robust and cordial.
The 26 lawmakers, who have been elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated the state government and legislature have mutual respect for one another, including that this can be deployed to overtake each sector of the financial system to profit the lots, relatively than sabotaging the system.
The Meeting said this can be a assertion in Ado Ekiti on the weekend responding to a caustic remark allegedly made by the Particular Adviser to the President on Political Issues, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, whereas showing on a radio programme.
In the course of the interview on a neighborhood radio station, Ojudu was stated to have claimed that some unnamed members of the state Home of Meeting have been availing with paperwork of wrongdoings allegedly perpetrated by Fayemi within the operating of the state.
Debunking the declare in a press release signed by the Chairman, Meeting Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon Yemisi Ayokunle, on the weekend maintained that the assertion was supposed to trigger disaffection between the chief and legislature to derail governance.
“Ordinarily, we’d not have dignified the erstwhile senator with a response, however due to the evil machinations of human minds and the potential of some gullible minds believing his lies, he shouldn’t be allowed to go away together with his blue homicide and barefaced lies.
“We, as an Meeting, and with all emphasis at our disposal, categorically state that there’s no member of our revered Meeting that has any relationship with the ex-senator.
“We’re males of integrity. We’re a set of targeted representatives of our individuals, who can’t be swayed by a personality like Ojudu, who prefers to rule in hell than serve in paradise,” he stated.
The lawmakers challenged the Senator to return clear to substantiate the allegation with verifiable information and level out the personalities concerned within the accusation.
Based on him, “With our information of the efficiency and relevance of Ojodu in Ekiti State politics, the common query our individuals have all the time requested him is: ‘Senator Ojudu the place are your lots?’
“The sixth Meeting is just too targeted in regulation making for the nice of our individuals. We’re doing this in energetic collaboration with the opposite arms of presidency particularly the chief arm.
“We’re certainly glad that every one the efforts of fine governance have been made attainable by the enabling legal guidelines emanating from the Meeting. They’re yielding constructive outcomes regardless of the final dwindling monetary assets. Everyone can see these besides the ostrich amongst us-like the previous senator.
“The street infrastructure is there for everybody to see-Oye-Otun; Aramoko- Erijiyan; New Ado- Iyin Highway; Airport challenge; Agbado-Omuo; Ilupeju-Igbemo amongst others. Solely within the week, the contract for the dualisation of Ado-Akure street, influenced by the governor was awarded by the Federal Government Council (FEC).”
The lawmakers, due to this fact, suggested Ojudu to look elsewhere for his co-travellers within the alleged determined bid to recruit these that can assist his battle towards the state authorities, saying the meeting won’t ever be concerned in such a sinister journey.
