playing a part in the ongoing fuel crisis
– According to the ruling party, there is
strong evidence against Fayose
– A sabotage scheme has reportedly been
unraveled by the APC with the Ekiti state
governor at the heart of the scheme
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has
been accused of alleged complicity in the
fuel supply crisis in the state.
Governor Ayodele-Fayose is said to have a
hand in the fuel crisis experienced in Ekiti
state.
The accusation was made by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state.
In a statement by Publicity Secretary, Taiwo
Olatunbosun, the party said it was in
possession of “incontrovertible evidence”
that the governor is allegedly contributing to
the scarcity of fuel in the state to sabotage
the President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration.
Accusing Fayose and his aides of
mischievously disparaging the President for
not doing enough to make fuel available to
Nigerians while they were the actual culprits,
Olatunbosun said available information
confirmed that daily allocations of fuel to
the state were allegedly being diverted to
other states with the alleged connivance of
some NUPENG officials and the governor to
allegedly sabotage the Federal Government
in order to set the people against the
President.
“Records have revealed that 10 trailers of fuel
for Ekiti State on Fayose’s request were
diverted mostly to stations outside the state.
“The Secretary to the state government, Dr Mrs
Dupe Alade, had earlier written for same
allocation but her letter to NNPC was stepped
down when Fayose used his office to request
for the allocation of fuel to 10 filling stations,
many of which do not exist in Ekiti state
“The governor’s letter was addressed to the
Area Manager at Mosimi and minuted to Ore
and was processed by the Ore office of NNPC.
“The trailers were loaded on Wednesday and
Thursday the 20th and 21st of April but the
real fuel companies and vendors were
prevented from loading until the 10 trailers
demanded by the governor left the depot but
were diverted to other stations outside Ekiti
state,” he explained, adding that the governor
had allegedly been mentioned in several
cases of fuel racketeering.
Olatunbosun said the development reportedly
elicited protests and complaints from the
real fuel marketers in Ekiti State, adding that
this had resulted in acute shortage of fuel in
the state with few stations dispensing fuel
selling at prohibitive costs to the masses
that Fayose claimed to be his friends.
He listed the company names in the letter of
the governor to include Amsek Filling Station
opposite Omolayo along Ikere road, Ado-
Ekiti, that is selling above official price.
“Other stations not in existence in Ekiti State
but which appeared in the governor’s letter is
Royal Oil, which the letter falsely claimed to
exist in Omuo-Ekiti.
“Rova Oil, also on the governor’s letter, no
longer exists in Ekiti because it has since
been sold and its name changed and it is now
operating under NNPC. It is located in Ajilosun
area of the state capital and selling above
NNPC official price.
“Other non-existent stations in Ekiti but which
appeared in the governor’s letter and was
allocated fuel is Bisi Jay located in Ile-Oluji in
Ondo state .
“The other company that received Ekiti State’s
allocation is Ademur located in Osun State.
This company has no station in Ekiti and it
has no lifting right or permit in Ore, while
Eyeowa Fuel that got allocation does not exist
in Ekiti,” he explained.
He alleged that Moson Global located in Ifon,
Ondo State, also received Ekiti allocation at
NNPC official price but selling above official
price to the public. He challenged the
governor to deny ever writing to the NNPC
for fuel allocation.
“There is need for the security agencies and
the Minister for Petroleum to investigate the
governor’s activities at the NNPC offices both
in Ore and Mosimi and the roles of NUPENG
officials in this wicked unleashing of pains on
Ekiti people by unpatriotic act to sabotage the
Federal Government,” Olatunbosun concluded.
Meanwhile, Professor Itse Sagay who is the
chairman of the presidential advisory
committee on corruption has said that
Governor Fayose is on course to destroy
himself .
Fayose has been a vocal critic of the
administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari with his latest move being a letter he
reportedly wrote to the Chinese government
urging them not to grant President Buhari
loan. An act which has drawn great attention
to the affairs of Nigeria. In reaction to
Fayose’s move, Professor Sagay said the
Ekiti state governor is on the brink of
destruction because he wasn’t cautious with
the things he did.
