PDP Describes Fayemi’s One Year In Office A Colossal Failure

The party accused the government of being short of ideas on how to develop the state but only conspired to snatch power to enrich themselves.

The PDP spokesman also pointed out that the street lights installed by the last administration and other urban beautification projects are no more being maintained by the Fayemi government, adding that roads that has only few meters to be completed have not been touched in a whole year of Fayemi administration.

According to PDP, the governor is planning to erect a cargo airport an idea which was condemned by his party when the last administration attempted to construct the airport.

Apart from the improved allocations to the State from the Federal government, which is estimated to be about 150 Billion Naira, PDP revealed that the present government has secured foreign loans running into several Millions of Dollar with nothing to show for it, among which is the latest 100 Million dollars from the Africa Development Bank.

APC while reacting to the allegation through its spokesperson, Ade Ajayi, described it as a concocted falsehood and monumental conjectures.

He said Governor Fayemi will not be distracted by the ranting of paranoid people who are the only perfectionist at spreading the gospel of bare-faced lies.

Ajayi noted that in the last year, Governor Fayemi has started off on a strong footing with all indicators of socio-economic development in a positive mode.

“We are greatly appalled at the desperation of the PDP to spread all manners of lies and falsehood against our government.

“When Governor Fayemi came on board virtually all sectors of the state was in deplorable condition but now the health sector has been reinvigorated, education is taking its pride of place, infrastructures and basic amenities are taking good shape, the economy is improving markedly and the state is enjoying a peaceful ce devoid of political upheaval.”
