Ekiti govt didn't spend N22m on Ozekhome: Fayose's aide

Special Assistant to the governor of Ekiti State on Public

Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka has described claim by the

All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State that Governor Ayodele

Fayose was spending the state's money to prosecute his legal matter

with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), saying “the

allegation is a continuation of the APC's life of disparaging eminent

Nigerians that are not dancing to the destructive tunes of the party.”

Olayinka, who challenged the APC to publish their facts, added that

“the APC beer parlour jesters in Ekiti must have taken their

lamentation over their loss of power to a psychotic level that

anything will make meaning to them no matter unreasonable.”

He said, “Ekiti State government did not, and will not spend any N22

million on Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) because the government is not

being ran like the APC government of Dr Kayode Fayemi that plunged the

State into debt.
“The reality is that, those evil men in the APC that won't even mind

to malign God are seeing Chief Ozekhome as an uncompromising lawyer,

who will not blow hot and cold at the same time. They see Chief

Ozekhome as a lawyer that will not join them to defend their regime of

impunity and for that they have opted to malign him as they have done

to others.
“While we are confident that Chief Ozekhome will take them on

legally, we make bold to say that at no time was (sic) the eminent lawyer

travelled to Ekiti by air, not to talk of chattered flight.”
