Africa Press-Nigeria:
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has described the resolution by the State House of Assembly to name uncompleted Ekiti State Civic Centre after the State Governor, Kayode Fayemi as a “clear display of emptiness, idleness and lack of nothing to show for the close to six years of Fayemi’s governance in Ekiti.”
The party, in a statement on Tuesday signed by the Secretary of the State Caretaker Committee, Prince Diran Odeyemi, said it was funny that after governing Ekiti State for close to six years, there was nothing tangible to attach the name of Governor Fayemi to, except an uncompleted building.
As part of the activities marking the first year in office of the sixth Ekiti Assembly, the assembly had passed a motion mandating the executive to rename Ekiti State Civic Centre under construction as John Kayode Fayemi Cultural Centre.
Reacting, the PDP said, “only a do-nothing governor like Fayemi will seek to use his puppet Assembly members to achieve his personal ambition of immortalising himself.”
Odeyemi said rather than asking Fayemi to name the uncompleted Civic Centre after himself, the “Assembly members should be asking the governor to account for the over N3 billion already spent on the project, which started in 2012. Or how many years did it take to build the Ikeja Shopping Mall in Lagos that building a mere Civic Centre in Ekiti will take eight years?”
