Why Fayemi, Osinbajo Avoided Markets for Trader Moni Launch- Ekiti PDP

Published

on

The Peoples Democratic Party has reacted to the decision of Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, to take the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo to the State Pavilion in Ado Ekiti.
The party claimed that the decision is a step towards, “indirect re-looting of the recovered Abacha loot through the TraderMoni scheme”.
The party stated that the state Governor took the Vice President to the Pavilion instead of the usual markets, because,
“Fayemi must be afraid of being booed by the market people in the presence of the Vice President as they have done to him before.”
The Director of Media and Publicity of the Atiku/Obi PDP Presidential Campaign Council in Ekiti State, Lere Olayinka, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday
Olayinka stated that the state Governor was scared of being humiliated by the market people which stopped him from taking Osinbajo to the markets in Ado and Ikere Ekiti.
Olayinka, who said traders at Oja Bisi in Ado Ekiti chanted Osoko (Fayose’s nickname) the first time Fayemi visited Oja Bisi in Ado Ekiti, added that “the Vice President should ask Fayemi why he chose the pavilion instead of Oja Bisi in Ado Ekiti or Elegberun Market in Ikere Ekiti.”
He described Fayemi as, “an unwanted governor who after assuming office through dubious means opted to compound his rejection by the people by ruling Ekiti State like a diaspora governor.”
“Everywhere the Vice President went to share his N10,000 for votes under the guise of TraderMoni, he went to the market. So why didn’t he go to the market in Ekiti? The reason is simple, the market people would have booed him alongside Fayemi as they have done to him before.”
“No responsible government will send its Vice President to the market to share say N10 million to 1,000 traders at N10,000 each while spending over N25 million on maintenance of presidential jet as well as allowances for himself, aides, protocols, security and others just to share about N10 million.
“If not because of their intention to re-loot the Abacha loot and convert it to the funding of the President’s reelection, the federal government would have adopted the YouWin Programme and also focused on youths in technology development instead of going from one
market to the other to share money that cannot be audited.
“Why didn’t they take records of beneficiaries, take them through Biometric and pay the money to their bank accounts so that the disbursement can be traced and properly audited?
“The painful fact is that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Pastor is helping President Buhari to re-loot the recovered Abacha loots through the TraderMoni Scheme

I Stand on Rule of Law, with Our Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, PDP, Says Dele Momodu

Frontline journalist and Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Council in the just concluded Presidential election, Chief Dele Momodu, had said that he remains a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and will always stand on the side of rule of law, and with the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Momodu made the revelations in a statement he signed himself, noting that the last election, which brought Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to power, was savagely manipulated by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He praised the steps Atiku, and the presidential candidate of the Labour candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, have taken in seeking legal redress.

The statement in details:

I STAND ON RULE OF LAW

My position on the state of our country NIGERIA is simple and straightforward. I’m a loyal member of PDP who owes absolute allegiance to Nigeria and its Rule of Law. My political party PDP and others passionately hold the view that the last Presidential election was savagely manipulated by the ruling party APC and the cases are already in courts. Nothing will make me abandon my party on the altar of convenience and profit. Win or lose, I will continue to stand on this principle without any malice or prejudice against those who think otherwise. Democracy is a game of choice and I’m resolutely standing by our candidate, the former Vice President ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR (GCON) who has taken the honorable and peaceful step of going to court to seek redress. This is the only way we can deepen our hard earned Democracy. Sacrifice is not always convenient but painful.

I salute and respect The Wazirin Adamawa and others like my dear friend and Brother, former Governor Peter Obi, the Labor Party Presidential candidate, for promoting the best tenets of Democracy in Nigeria and I’m willing to encourage them rather than discourage their onerous quests…

CHIEF DELE MOMODU

In the first policy directive of his administration, President Bola Tinubu has announced the removal of fuel subsidy.

He disclosed this on Monday in his inaugural speech as the new President of Nigeria.

According to him, subsidy can no longer justify its ever increasing costs in the wake of drying resources.

“We shall instead re-channel the funds into better investment in public infrastructure, education, healthcare and jobs that will materially improve the lives of millions,” Tinubu stated.
