Photos : Former Ekiti State Governor,Fayemi Bought N50million Mattresses For His Wife’s Bedrooms-Fayose

N50million Mattresses
Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Ayodele Fayose on Public Communications and New Media, Mr Lere Olayinka has described the new government house built by the immediate past government of Dr Kayode Fayemi as an act of insensitivity to the plight of Ekiti people, many of whom cannot afford to feed once in a day.

Speaking with pressmen in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, Olayinka said no progressive minded Ekiti person would see the out-of-this-world luxury provided with over N3.3bn borrowed fund for Fayemi, his wife and children and will not weep for the State and its people.

Olayinka, who said Governor Fayose was alarmed at the waste of Ekiti resources to provide comfort for a single family out of the thousands of households in the State, added that; “the governor would have preferred to sell out the property and use the fund to provide basic amenities and employment opportunities for the people

He disclosed that Fayemi was planning to buy a helicopter if he had returned to office for a second term, adding that, “the plan was for Fayemi to run government from  the comfort of Oke-Ayoba Government House and move from there to anywhere he wanted without the people seeing him. That’s also the reason he (Fayemi) refused to renovate the Governor’s Office, leaving it in a state of disrepair because he knew that he was not going to use the office during his second term.”

"Also, contract for the maintenance of the property was already awarded for N150m per annum.


“When we visited the Government House for the first time yesterday, Mr Governor was like; how I wish I can sell off this place or turn it to commercial use? It is simply wicked for a governor to be more interested in this manner of ostentatious comfort at the expense of the people.”

Speaking further, the governor’s aide said; “The bed on which Fayemi slept before he left government alone costs over N30 million! That of his wife costs over N20 million!

“Between Fayemi and his wife, what was spent on their bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms will be in the region of N100 million.


“How can a responsible government use borrowed fund to provide this kind of luxury for the governor and his family alone in a State where a lot of people cannot afford to feed once in a day?

“People should ask the outgone governor what was really wrong with the abandoned governor’s lodge used by his (Fayemi) predecessors?

“Shouldn’t such funds expended on the hilltop edifice have been used to resuscitate the moribund Textile Factory in Ado-Ekiti that was turned to lock-up shops to provide employments for our teeming unemployed youths?
