The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of mismanaging the state fund by spending on non-profitable ventures including the hate campaign against its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhamadu Buhari (retd.).

The party said the Governor was only trying to divert the attention of Nigerians from his alleged fraudulent victory as revealed in the leaked audio tape.

It said the money Fayose was spending on his hate campaign could have been channeled towards productive activities for the benefit of Ekiti people.

In a statement by the state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the APC berated the governor for lack of focus on development issues.

It stressed that, For the past four months, he (Fayose) had busied himself with debts profile of the state, while not forthcoming on the balances and refunds made to the state by the Federal Government.

Olatubosun added that what Fayose was doing was the usual fraudulent antics allegedly associated with his administration to whip public sentiments against real issues of development and transparent management of state resources.

He knows with General Muhammadu Buhari as the President, that will be the end of impunity and fraud through which he was declared the governor. He knows he cant survive the revelations contained in the tape when Buhari becomes the President. That is why he wants General Buhari dead.

We know Fayose very well. He will go to any length in his hate campaign wishing Buhari dead. But he will not succeed. The spirits of Nigerians that desire change in their lives are stronger than Fayoses selfish spirit whose only wish among millions of Ekiti is to build an empire around himself with stupendous wealth while Ekiti people beg him for crumbs from his table, Olatubosun said.

The party warned Fayose against wasting Ekiti money on anti-Buhari campaign, including hiring agents trailing Buhari around the world, saying that it was criminal to be spending the state resources for personal ambition and safety.

The All Progressives Congress has said President Goodluck Jonathan has committed a serious error of judgment, abused his office, violated the Constitution and engaged in corruption through his Abuja land grab that allegedly fetched him 90.04 hectares of land in the Aviation Village, Abuja, barely seven months after getting to office.

In a statement in London on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said nothing could justify the indiscretion of a sitting President, acquiring such a huge swath of land, as contained in a newspaper advert and yet unrefuted by the President.

It said the claim of the Presidents aides that he grabbed the land because he wanted to engage in farming, which it said was allowed under the Fifth Schedule Part 1 of the 1999 Constitution, and the justification of the land grab on the basis that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo did the same while in office, missed the point.

APC said the issues involved had gone beyond the fact that a public officer was legally allowed to engage in farming, adding that the provision quoted by the Presidents apologists was a weak and untenable defence.

The opposition party stated, The Fifth Schedule Part 1( Code of Conduct for Public Officers) of the 1999 Constitution, Section 1 states that a public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts with his duties and responsibilities.

But thats exactly what the President did by leveraging his high office to grab a prime land in Abuja. Would Goodluck Jonathan have been given 90.04 Ha of such a prime land were he not a sitting President?

What happened in that Abuja land grab is nothing but the height of indiscretion and abuse of office, and cannot be justified or explained away just like that. Without mincing words, it also amounts to corruption, which is defined in part as a perversion of integrity, and a glaring instance of bad leadership.

It alleged that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Bala Mohammed, also grabbed 40.40 hectares of prime land in Abuja, under the facade of using it for farming, because his boss, the President, had done so.

APC slammed the Presidents apologists for seeking to justify Jonathans action because Chief Obasanjo, according to them, also acquired land for farming during his own presidency.

The party said, Those pushing this kind of argument are worsening the Presidents case and insulting Nigerians. When did one bad act become a justification for another? Does a thief escape punishment by saying he stole because someone else had stolen? If indeed Chief Obasanjo did it, does that make it right? Is this not part of the reasons this President has been unable to fight corruption?

The opposition All Progressives Congress in the South-West has said that President Goodluck Jonathans visit to monarchs in the zone has no electoral value because the visit lacked strategic assessment that is capable of redeeming the Presidents image.

A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity, APC South-West, Ayo Afolabi, on Monday, noted that one of the wrong moves made by Jonathan was the imposition of some people who lacked the moral and charismatic features of leadership as governors, ministers and party leaders in Yoruba land.

It also said that the Ekiti State people had been suffering from lack of governance because the governor, Ayodele Fayose, had become a campaign manager for the President and had been using the state fund.

The statement read, The latest move by President Goodluck Jonathan to court the South-West monarchs ahead of 2015 general elections has no redemptive electoral value in the South-West because it is devoid of strategic assessment.

The strategic question the President and his campaign managers should have tried to answer before engaging on the rash moves is, how many of such desperate and impromptu meetings were needed before Yoruba people voted for him in 2011?

How much did President Jonathan spend to get Yoruba votes in 2011 and why should he think money will save him now? All other regions extracted several promises from President Jonathan in the race to 2011 elections except the South-West, which voted based on their firm convictions and commitment to justice and good governance.

No Yoruba person will be proud of those President Jonathan has imposed as leaders representing Yoruba people in different capacities, whether as governor, minister or party leaders. From all intent and purposes, governance has stopped in Ekiti State as the governor has been functioning more as a campaign manager with the resources of Ekiti people than as a governor. Ekiti people deserve better than they currently get.

The statement further questioned the Presidents motive for meeting the Yoruba monarchs at the weekend, concluding that voters in the region would be guided by their belief and conscience despite Jonathans visit.

It said, The South-West APC is confident that Yoruba monarchs and voters are conscious of the implications of a Greek Gift and as the bastion of democratic justice and good governance, they will vote true to their cultural identity that loathes tyranny, corruption and nepotism.

In fact, activities in the Presidency in the last few weeks have confirmed that Jonathan did not realise the need for governance until it is evident that Nigerians have already embraced the opportunity of change offered by the APC. In the last five years, the Jonathan administration has shown unbearable contempt for the region and its people and their values, especially in the attempt to adulterate their leadership values.

Senator Iyiola Omisore

The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has described the video clip in circulation which shows some persons allegedly thumb- printing for the candidate of the party during the last governorship election in the state as an afterthought.

The APC said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday by its spokesperson, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi.

The Chairman of the party in Osun State, Mr. Gboyega Famoodun, had on Friday addressed a press conference where he claimed that the video was a concoction of the PDP to justify why its candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore, lost the August 9th, 2014 poll.

The APC said the PDP resorted into producing the video clip to shift the attention of Nigerians away from the crime it committed in collaboration with some security agents during the governorship poll in Ekiti State.

The statement read, Omisore argued for 180 days at the tribunal and his petition was meticulously dismantled in a landmark judgment that lasted over seven hours by the three-man panel which struck it out as unworthy.

What would have gone wrong with the PDP chieftain, who had this so-called video clip evidence that he could have presented at the tribunal, but failed to do so.

Did Omisore seriously think that the Court of Appeal will accommodate this after-thought? The reason that video was not presented to the tribunal in the first instance was because it was fake.

The APC had gotten wind of the production of the particular video since November last year and had informed security forces accordingly. This move was in part, what prevented the PDP from presenting it at the Tribunal as was their original plan.

If the PDP lawyers rested the worthless video because it could not fly at the tribunal, what banal reasoning would have informed the PDP spin doctors now making silly noises about it as a publicity material?
