Loot Stocking: Buhari won’t be distracted by Fayose’s rantings –APC

Ado-Ekiti- The All Progressives Congress(APC), has
dismissed the criticism by Governor Ayodele Fayose that
some looters were allegedly hiding stolen funds in Aso
Villa in Abuja, saying no amount of blackmail would derail
the anti-graft war being waged by the party at the
federal level.
The party stated that Fayose’s outburst against
President Buhari was geared towards shielding members
of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) from being made
to account for the money they allegedly looted under
President Goodluck Jonathan-led government.
The Deputy Chairman of the party in Ekiti State, Mrs
Kemi Olaleye, said this in Ado Ekiti , on Tuesday while
receiving some gift items from a governorship aspirant ,
Engr Kayode Ojo at the party’s Secretariat.
Fayose, had on Monday accused some Buhari’s
confidants and top members of APC of stocking looted
funds in Aso Villa to prevent them from the eyes of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC),
describing this scenario as selective and provocative.
Olaleye, who described Fayose’s allegation as baseless
and spurious said: “Ordinarily, I would not have dignified
Governor Fayose with a response, but for the purpose of
clarity his noise was targeted at derailing the war
against corruption.
“How can Fayose accuse anybody of corruption? In Ekiti
State, he is the Finance Commissioner, the Accountant
General, in fact , he is acting like all-in-all. He is corrupt
himself and afraid of being dealt with after leaving
office, hence his resort to blackmail and diversionary
tactics.
“We are solidly behind Buhari’s government in his war
against corruption. Nothing can derail our fight against
corruption, because we are determined to deal with
corruption squarely. So, this is just a noise to distract
Buhari”, she stated.
Olaleye assured that the primary to pick candidate for
the 2018 poll will be credible, free and fair and devoid of
imposition.
Presenting the gift to the party, Ojo promised to do more
to palliate the sufferings of the APC members, who are
now in opposition in the State.
Ojo, who was represented by former Commissioner in
Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board, Mr Richard
Apolola, added that “we are going to win and make the
state proud if given the ticket of the party.
“Apart from that, all party members will be treated
equally, because I don’t believe in segregation or division
among party members. As an aspirant, I am to serve as
a rallying point for all and not to cause unnecessary
cleavage that can affect our chances in 2018”.
Ojo pledged more supports to the party, urging his
contemporaries to uphold party supremacy and act
within the ambit of the party’s laid down rules for the
primary to be a success.
