Afenifere Chieftain and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship\u00a0aspirant in Ekiti State, Prince Dayo Adeyeye has described as false, claim\u00a0by the State Government that it had not received more than N2.5bn as\u00a0monthly subvention from the federation account since the Kayode Fayemi-led\u00a0government came on board.<\/p>\n
Adeyeye, who said in 2012 alone, Ekiti State received N50,303,046,508 from\u00a0the federation account, wondered how N50,303,046,508 in 12 months would\u00a0have amounted to less than N2.5bn per month.<\/p>\n
While speaking during a press conference to mark the third anniversary of\u00a0the Governor Kayode Fayemi-led administration in the state, Commissioner\u00a0for Information and Civic Orientation in Ekiti State, Tayo Ekundayo, had\u00a0said that paucity of funds was a major challenge to achieving\u00a0developmental agenda of the state government.<\/p>\n
The Commissioner said; \u201cWe have not got more than N2.5bn as monthly\u00a0subvention from the federation account since this government came on\u00a0board.”<\/p>\n
However, Adeyeye faulted this claim in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti\u00a0today by the Director General of his campaign organisation, Prince Adedayo\u00a0Adeyeye Movement (PAAM), Hon. Bisi Kolawole.<\/p>\n
He said; “Ekiti State gross allocation for the month of May, this year,\u00a0which was shared in June was N4,307980,450.33 while net amount was\u00a0N3,869,261,790.20
\nThe 16 Local councils in the State got N2,647,074,904.37.<\/p>\n
“In March, the Gross Allocation was N3,990,692,859.46 while the Net was\u00a0N3,548,822,699.33. The 16 Local Councils got N2,455,033,558.25 while\u00a0N185,951,986.02 was allocated to the State as its share of the Subsidy
\nFund with the Local Councils getting N115,897,035.57.<\/p>\n
“In August, 2011, the Gross Allocation was N3,526,364,205.05\u00a0while the Net was N3,449,057,335.24 and local councils got N2,167,690,101.81<\/p>\n
“It was only in December 2010 that Ekiti State received N2,393,328,255.38\u00a0after deductions were made from the Gross Allocation of N2,427,449,472.14<\/p>\n
“So where did the N2.5bn per month the State Government claimed it had\u00a0been receiving came from because the average of the N50.3bn it received in\u00a02012 is more than N4bn per month?”<\/p>\n
While admonishing functionaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC)\u00a0government in the State to be mindful of the way they lie to the public in\u00a0their bid to cover up the failure of the government, Adeyeye said;\u00a0“Information as cheap as the amount being received by the State government\u00a0from the federation account is not what a honest and serious minded\u00a0government should lie about.<\/p>\n
“But because what they are running in Ekiti State is a government of
\ndeceit, they can even tell us that construction of the Third Mainland
\nBridge in Lagos was part of the achievements of their government.”
