FAYOSE, Stop making noise, declare your asset

A group, Ekiti Youth Vanguard, has urged Governor Ayo Fayose to declare his assets. In a statement by its spokesperson, Charles Fakunle, the group said Fayose should emulate his predecessor by making a timely and public declaration of his assets within his first month in office. Former Governor Kayode Fayemi deposed to the Assets Declaration Form for Public Officers at the Registry of the State High Court, Ado-Ekiti, barely a month after assuming office. Fayemi is the first governor of the state to have made public his worth in cash and assets. “It is high time we started holding our leaders accountable in this country. “Fayose has been making it a public issue that his predecessor had acquired so much. We now challenge him to also make a public declaration of how little or much he was able to acquire outside of politics. “Such move by Fayose will not only reveal the true position of his assets, but also defray rumours that he has acquired properties in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan and Ado Ekiti through some shady means. “We are also aware of the allegation of N1.3billion fraud hanging on his neck which he is yet to clear himself.”
