The Ekiti State Government through the Chief Press Secretary
to the Governor has reacted to allegation of fraud levelled against it by the state
chapter of the PDP.
There have been various reports making the round in the media
of shady deals being carried out by the outgoing administration due to hand
over middle of next month. Fayemi’s
Government has been accused of last-minute recruitment in the civil service.
According to the statement signed by the Chief Press
Secretary to the Governor, the Fayemi Administration had run the affairs of the
state in the last four years with utmost regard to public accountability and
fiscal responsibility laws, a development that had earned the state accolades
from relevant authorities and organisations both locally and globally.
“Having built a reputation of service and integrity over the
years, nothing, not even a controversial loss in an election would make us go
back on this path of honour. Neither are we going to succumb to cheap and
infantile blackmail,” the statement added.
Saying that the allegations of the PDP were not only wicked,
reckless and malicious, the statement added that it was a calculated attempt to
tarnish the reputation of the current administration in the state and an
anticipatory excuse for lack of performance when the new government got into
office.
The state government challenged the PDP to mention the banks
where the alleged illegal movement of funds took place and explain where the
3,000 workers were recruited illegally.
