Members of the Ekiti Young Professionals (EYP), a group of young
professionals from the state scattered all over the country, have called
on the governor-elect, Ayodele Fayose, to probe the administration of
Kayode Fayemi, saying that Ekiti youths will not forgive him if the
allegations that the incumbent used the meagre allocations of the state
to build a magnificient university in Ghana, apart from having housing
estates in the country, were true.
At a press conference held in Lagos, on Wednesday, at the conference
room of In-House Entertainment office at Olateju, Oshodi, Mr Ayo
George, the president of the body, said EYP had been following reports
from the state and was suspicious of the closed door meeting Fayemi held
with Fayose on Monday, at the state house. "We hope it was not to keep
under the carpet contentious issues, especially the siting of a
university funded by our state, in another country," he said.
Fayemi has empowered more people in Lagos and Ghana than we in
Ekiti. A lot of Ekiti youths are struggling to make decent living, while
our governor has created employment for others with our money. His
government should be probed," George insisted.
George, who used the conference to congratulate Fayose for his
outstanding performance and eventual victory at the election, said EYP
had predicted Fayose's victory several weeks ago when, during a press
conference in Ibadan, it had given 21 reasons why the former Ekiti
governor would return as governor again.
"At this point in the history of our state, it is only Fayose that
has the zeal and passion to do what has not been done by anyone in the
state. Fayemi bungled his goodwill when he pandied to the wishes of the
man in Bourdillon at the expense of we Ekiti people that supported his
ambition back then. There were lots of pretenders in the polity but the
youths and other Ekiti stakeholders have spoken. Now that Fayose is in
the saddle, he has to do what is expected of him by bringing back what
fake progressives have stolen from us", he added.
