The Chairman , House Committee on Legislative Budget and Research, Hon Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, has called on the outgoing Governor Kayode Fayemi to stop insulting the intelligent, integrity and the resolve of Ekiti people to vote him out through his puerile attempt to create the an
impression to the world that the reasons for his rejection at the poll was borne out of his refusal to distribute money, and bags of rice to the electorate.
Bamidele described the “stomach infrastructure” theory being trumpeted by Fayemi as a form of intellectual fraud capable of sending the wrong signal that Ekiti are not capable of assessing the performance of their elected public officials to determine whether to re-elect or deny them at
subsequent polls.
In a statement by his Media Aide , Ahmed Salami in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, the Federal Lawmaker said the much touted sermon of stomach infrastructure’ being preached by Governor Fayemi’s think-tanks was unfounded and such did
not direct the psyche of Ekiti electorate to vote against the incumbent Governor.
He declared that prior to the election, Governor Fayemi distributed over 200 buses among different interest groups while his wife Bisi Fayemi, distributed buses, grounding pepper , sewing machine and several other equipment to induce
market women
Bamidele declared that some self-serving intellectuals and politicians misled Governor Kayode Fayemi and caused the victory recorded by Mr Ayodele Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party in the June 21Governorship election.
Bamidele, the candidate of the Labour Party in the election also clarified that the Ekiti Governorship poll , though not absolutely devoid of hitches,
but remains the best to be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission in recent time.
