Fayemi Plotting to Scrap LCDAs, Blames it on Oni |Ojaomonews
The Segun Oni Movements has accused the Governor of Ekiti, Dr Kayode Fayemi of orchestrating a grand plan to scrap the Local Government Development Areas due to the mismanagement of the funds disbursed for the purpose of running them and blame it on the former governor of the, Asiwaju Segun Oni.
The movements stated that the committee that mismanaged the local government funds was put in place by governor Fayemi early last year and headed by the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mr Biodun Oyebanji, under whom the fund was embezzled.
The Director of Media and Publicity, Segun Oni Movements, Mr Jackson Adebayo made this known in a statement he made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti.
He said that the APC government, in an attempt to cover the fraudulent track has decided to scrap the LCDAs .
Adebayo explained that the APC government resorted to this after it was discovered that the funds that the government had been deducting from the sixteen local government since 2019 for the purpose of funding the LCDAs had been mismanaged by the committee without any evidence that it had been disbursed to the LCDAs.
He maintained that it took the candidate of APC, Mr Oyebamiji and the wife of the governor two weeks to come out with the idea of manufacturing the lies that Segun Oni would scrap the Local Government Development Areas if he becomes the governor as an alibi for their planned scraping of the LCDAs.
The movements, however, stated that it was very unfortunate that the Governor and his party's candidate could stoop to the level of attaching their failure to an innocent person like Asiwaju Segun Oni, who was an apostle of a workable Local Government administration.
Adebayo stressed that at no time did the former governor Segun Oni made any statement that he would scrap the Local Government Development Areas, rather Oni has always been at the forefront of strengthening the Local Council Development Areas, hence, his contributions to the accommodation of the Isokan LCDA at Ifaki Ekiti.
Adebayo added that Segun Oni, is a known character synonymous with community development and grassroots emancipation, which had placed his tenure as governor in Ekiti State on the top.
"We want to say that all Ekiti sons and daughters are witnesses to the lasting projects across the rural areas throughout the State during Segun Oni's short time as the governor of the state during the time the allocation to the local government would not be tampered with as opposed to what is the culture now."
Adebayo noted that Segun Oni was the first governor in Nigeria to grant local government autonomy till date; same thing he did for the judiciary and the legislative arm of government during his tenure.
He said that part of the former governor's agenda, if elected, is to create more LCDAs and resolve any existing disputes over the insincerity of the present government.
