Claim by the All Progressives Congress ( APC )
lawmakers in Ekiti State that they sat in Ado Ekiti
yesterday, has been described as a ploy by the
embattled lawmakers to get fresh attention from
their Lagos based sponsors so as to be able to get
some money to celebrate Christmas and New year.
Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on
Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, who reacted to the purported sitting of
the APC lawmakers in a statement issued on
Saturday, said "the APC lawmakers only succeeded
in advertising their drunkenness by sending press
release and photographs taken in a beer parlour to
the press, claiming that they sat and took
decisions as Ekiti State House of Assembly. "
Olayinka said; "Having been abandoned by their
Lagos based party leaders, who had promised
them eldorado, the runaway lawmakers needed to
make some noise in the media so as to be noticed
once again.
"Most importantly, having wasted their resources
on hotel bills, ogogoro and women of easy virtue in
Lagos, they must be desperately in need of money
to celebrate Christmas and New year
"That's the reason they gathered in a beer parlour
somewhere in Idi-Oro, Mushin, Lagos and placed a
toy in front of Omirin as mace, took his picture and
send it to the press , claiming that a sitting of the
Ekiti State House of Assembly took place."
He said "the APC lawmakers dribbled themselves
beyond the field of play by going to court to
challenge Omirin’s impeachment and having done
that, they ough to know that until the court
decides on the case they filed, Omirin’s
impeachment stands."
On Omirin’s admittance that the APC lawmakers
took N200, 000 each for fuel from Governor Fayose,
the governor’s aide said; "with that coming from
Omirin himself, it is now clear that they actually
demanded N135m bribe from the governor.
"Or isn't it strange that supposed Progressives
would collect N200 , 000 just to buy fuel?
"N200 , 000 will buy more than 2,000 litres of
petrol and one wonders whether they were
travelling to Australia to require over 2,000 litres of
petrol."
