In spite of the heightening of the activities of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in recent times, the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the Federal Government’s anti-corruption posture as mere noise-making and diversionary tactics.
Read what he said below:
Fayose who spoke through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said; “You don’t announce a process to the public. Rather, you announce the results because that is what is of interest to the people. It is like you are announcing that you know where armed robbers reside, won’t they change their location?
“If President Mohammadu Buhari knows exactly where the stolen funds are kept and who looted the funds, he does not need all these public announcements. Rather, he should make public names of the looters and bring back the purported stolen funds, location of which he has identified. It is when he is able to bring back the money that he should make announcements of recovered funds,” he said
Speaking further, the governor said: “What the All Progressives Congress (APC) spin doctors and their collaborators in the Presidency are doing is simple. It is such that when there is nothing to tell the people as per the rising Boko Haram attacks, dollar and other foreign currencies exchange rates, petrol pump price and other seeming failed promises of the APC federal government, they will accuse former President Goodluck Jonathan and his men of corruption, insult Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and make noise about fighting corruption.
