Fayose insisted that Fayemi, who is the Minister Mines and Steel Development, had not impacted positively in the State, particularly in helping to tap the huge mineral potentials of the State as a man superintending over the Ministry.
The Governor said these on Wednesday while interfacing with youths between ages 18 and 22 at the government’s house ground in Ado Ekiti.
Fayose said his predecessor was holding the ministerial position in trust for the people of the State, adding that Fayemi had allegedly failed to use the position to influence Ekiti positively since his appointment.
“I believe Fayemi was aware of the mineral potentials of this State and what we expected from him is to use his position to the benefit of this state as minister in charge of mines.
“The question to ask is what have they brought to Ekiti? We have seen Fayemi junketing to Sokoto and Kanfanchan on solid minerals trip, but what has he done with the one here in Ekiti, our people must ask him. When election comes, they will say be boasting that they will win election here, this is not possible. We will show them our superiority here in politics in 2018.
“I am still a member of the PDP and still the Chairman of the PDP governor’s forum, there are no two sides to it. But the strategy for 2018 poll is strictly my own business. No law says I should not run on the platform of another party if the PDP is no longer a right direction depending on circumstances.
“If they are bent on destroying the PDP, let them go ahead but I will never have anything to do with Senator Sheriff. The party is like a vehicle and the vehicle can’t be more important than the driver”, Fayose clarified.
Meanwhile, the APC has reacted to the decision of Fayose to rename Ekiti government house on Oke Ayoba Hills, Ado-Ekiti, after the late Military Governor of the old Western Region and elderstatesman, the late Major-General Adeyinka Adebayo (89), who died recently in Lagos.
Fayose on Monday renamed the edifice and the General Hospital in Iyin-Ekiti, Adebayo’s country home, after the late nationalist, who will be buried this weekend in Iyin-Ekiti.
Reacting to the governor’s decision in a statement in Ado-Ekiti by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, APC said Fayose’s decision was in right direction and confirmation that the APC’s administration of Fayemi that built the structure thought well in giving Ekiti State a legacy that towers above other monuments in the
state.
