The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has berated Governor Ayodele Fayose for not fulfilling his electoral promises to Ekiti people, saying his stomach infrastructure slogan was a deceit to treat the electorate like beggars.

The party said the governor had turned Ekiti people to beggars by giving them handouts in form of kwashiorkor-infested chickens not bigger in size than ailing pigeons.

But the Peoples Democratic Paty in the state has branded the APC as an hypocrite for adopting the stomach infrastructure which it had condemned the governor for.

The party claimed that a national leader of the APC distributed 2,000 bags of rice, vegetable oil, sugar and a little cash gift to people from various parts of Lagos State on Sunday, adding that,it is hypocrisy at its peak to do what you abuse someone else for doing.

The APC in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun,said Ekiti people had now seen the deceit of a man who said he was a friend of the common man with his callous attitude to the people he claimed to love during the period the people are supposed to be happy.

Governor Fayose gave two congos of rice and miserable palm oil not up to 1 litre, all totaling N700 to each worker that the governor had earlier deducted N2,000 from their salary for Christmas gift.

This is in contrast to Governor Kayode Fayemi who empowered the people through agriculture, cooperative and employment and apprenticeship schemes involving over two thousand youths, which helped the people to earn a living and made them happy for four years as against Fayoses tokenism as Christmas gifts.

Olatunbosun said instead of Fayose building on these laudable schemes, he had cancelled all the programmes, rendering the youth jobless while he had also cancelled many promotions in the civil service and dismissed many workers for the offences they did not commit.

Fayemi last year paid civil servants 30% of their salary as xmas bonus. He also paid their leave bonus while their December salary was paid on December 18.

In contrast, Fayose has refused to pay civil servants their September salary even though he had collected September allocation from the Federal Government. Civil servants are yet to be paid as of December 22.
