Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday, January 20 2016, challenged the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to disclose the 15 ex-governors and 55 Nigerians that allegedly stole N1.34trn between 2006 and 2013 or keep his mouth shut permanently.
According to Fayose, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Muhammadu Buhari administration had rundown the economy, and were using “bogus figures about stolen money just to cover up their lack of solution to the country’s economic problems.”
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose described as disgraceful, bringing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh to court in handcuff.
“Even the masterminds of Madalla and Nyanya bomb blasts, Kabiru Sokoto and Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche were not handcuffed when they were arraigned in court,” he said.
Fayose said it was funny that close to one year after it won the presidential election, the APC-led government was still operating as if it was campaigning for votes.
“They are turning governance to Nollywood, such that when one movie is about to end, they release another one. As it appears that the $2.1 billion arms deal movie is getting to an end, Lai Mohammed introduced another movie titled; N1.34 trillion loot.
“Unfortunately for them this time around, Nigerians have become tired of watching the Federal Government movies, they now want reality. Nigerians are now aware of the scam in the $2.1 billion arms deal movie, having seen that the amount those already charged to court were charged with is not more than N10 billion and $2.1 billion is over N600 billion.
“Therefore, Lai Mohammed must either tell Nigerians details of the 15 former governors and 55 people that he claimed stole N1.34 trillion, where the stolen money is kept and bring back the money or apologise to Nigerians for lying.”
The governor said the current administration was filled with hypocrites, as a lot of its members came from the PDP, despite its persistent claim that the PDP destroyed Nigeria.
Speaking at a press conference, Monday, in Abuja, Mr. Mohammed said N1.3trn was stolen from the public purse in 8 years.
