PDP ALLEGES LAST MINUTE LOOTING IN EKITI

Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has issued a warning to the Ekiti State civil servants collaborating with the out- going APC -led government to loot the state’s treasury.

According to a press statement issued by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Pastor Kola Oluwawole, and made available to the press in Ado Ekiti yesterday, the party warned that those civil servants found to have assisted Fayemi administration in the illegal employment and issuance of backdated letters of appointment will face disciplinary action when the new government is inaugurated.

Oluwawole also stated that, civil servants discovered to have helped the outgoing government to loot the treasury will face disciplinary action.

In his reaction, Ekiti State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Tayo Ekundayo, said as a party and government, the tenure of the administration will end on October 16, 2014.

Ekundayo noted that there was nothing illegal that Fayemi would do because he is a lover of democracy and the rule of law, adding that they would follow the dictates of the constitution.

The PDP spokesman stated that civil servants involved in the drawn up of the budget and release of money for the election will not go unpunished.

PDP, therefore, called on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission to be at alert and intervene at the appropriate time so that Ekiti state treasury could be saved from total embezzlement.
