The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayo Fayose continued his verbal onslaught against former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday, as he demanded immediate return of his N10 million donation to his library project with interest.
Fayose, who described the library project as one of the greatest fraud ever, said the 30 governors under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were compelled to donate N10m each in 2005 to the multibillion naira project. The was just as the PDP Southwest caucus passed a confidence of vote in the leadership of the Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee, branding the Ali Modu Sheriff group as mere usurpers of the party’s structure.
Speaking in Ado Ekiti on Monday at the opening of the PDP Southwest stakeholders’ meeting, he advised the former President Obasanjo to stop seeing himself as a saint. Fayose, who visibly expressed his anger against some leaders of the party for refusing to speak up against political persecution of some members of the party by the All Progressive Congress led Federal government, said they should not be afraid to speak against tyranny and any form of oppression. Urging members to remain bold and undaunted in the face of perceived intimidation by gents of the All Progressives Congress (APC) , Fayose predicted that God will soon move against those that are oppressing the PDP members in the country by declaring their seats vacant.
