The Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation (AFCO) has described the planned
establishment
of an Institute of Medical Technology in Ifaki-Ekiti, Ido/Osi Local
Government of
Ekiti State by Governor Kayode Fayemi as a “greek gift” that should be
rejected by
the people of Ifaki-Ekiti.
In a release issued today, and signed by the Director General of AFCO, Chief
Dipo Anisulowo, the planned Medical Technology Institute was described as
an insult
on the people of Ifaki-Ekiti, saying; “It is only a wicked government that
will take
away, a university from a community and come back three years after with a
plan to
replace it with an Institute of Medical Technology. Or isn’t it an act of
wickedness
to take a 18-seater Bus from someone and replace it with Okada?”
AFCO, which reiterated the promise of Mr Ayo Fayose to return the
University of
Science and Technology, Ifaki-Ekiti (USTI), which was scrapped by the Fayemi
administration, added that; “what Ifaki people deserve is a return of USTI
and that
is exactly what they will get the moment PDP takes over power on October
16, 2014.”
“Fayemi, out of his hatred for Segun Oni, closed down USTI after a
Education Summit
that was programmed to work towards a pre-determined answer.
“As at the time USTI was scrapped, the university already had an
arrangement with a
South Korean university to run an exchange programme that will give the
students the
opportunity of earning dual certificates. 36 students of USTI were already
billed to
travel to South Korea for the programme before the university was scrapped.
“The first question that the All Progressives Congress (APC) retrogressive
government in Ekiti State must answer is; why was the full fledged Science
and
Technology University that the PDP government of Engr. Segun Oni
established in
Ifaki-Ekiti scrapped?
“How can a right thinking government close down a thriving university,
only to
replace it with a School of Science and Laboratory Technology and now
Institute of
Medical Technology?
“That to us is greek gift, packaged to deceive the people of Ifaki-Ekiti
so as to
get their votes, but that will not work because the people already have
confidence
and trust in the ability of the in-coming PDP government to return the
university
that Fayemi took away from Ifaki-Ekiti.
“Our promise to Ifaki people is that Fayose’s government will return USTI,
and we
advise Fayemi and men to stop insulting Ifaki people,” AFCO said.
