The Publicity Secretary of the APC in Ekiti State, Taiwo Olatunbosun, in a statement described Fayose’s recalcitrant attitude to a policy with potential to save the country from national malaise of corruption as dangerous and reckless behaviour from a governor averse to accountability in financial matters and who has taken impunity as important element of governance

Reacting to media deferrals that a former Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Femi Bamisile, has begged the governor to help facilitate his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, the Publicity Secretary of the APC, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said the report was concocted by Fayose and his “discredited media aides” to causes confusion and anger among APC members.

A statement by Publicity Secretary of the APC, Taiwo Olatubosun, expressed dismay that the governor was just realising that N4 billion was diverted by Fayemi after eight months in office and after he was exposed as an enemy of workers, having owed workers’ salaries and pensions at the time he awarded himself N720 million and paying back N650 million to his election contractors

Reacting to ‎the recent violent acts rocking the state, the APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, regretted that Ekiti State people were used to the government-inspired violent acts, which they experienced between 2003 and 2006 during Fayose’s first stint and so there was little to worry about on the same pattern of serial violence that was rocking the state to achieve a purpose

‘The e-payment system is the system embraced all over the world, including many PDP-controlled states and at the Federal level. The e-payment system has proved very effective in Ekiti State as workers were not owed any salary for the period Fayemi was in the saddle. The system has also been used by Fayose in paying workers since he assumed office; and so when did he suddenly discover that the e-payment system is not good?’ Olatubosun queried

He asked workers to reflect on their experiences while Dr. Kayode Fayemi was the governor and then ask themselves how the former governo‎r was able to pay them regularly while at the same time servicing debt and implementing capital projects, but Fayose could not do either of the two even when he is not servicing any debt since the last six monthsse

Olatubosun’s words: “In this latest show of shame arising from his apprehension about Thursday Abuja Federal High Court’s refusal to grant his application to stop the 19 APC lawmakers from impeaching him, he this morning employed the services of the drivers union to cause untold hardship to Ekiti people who were prevented from going about their lawful duties

“To be specific, APC members were driven to the bush in many towns across the state. ‎They included Efon Alaaye, where PDP thugs did not allow any APC member to participate in accreditation while no party agent was allowed to stay in any of the polling units in the town

In a petition dated February 14, 2015‎ and copied to the State Director of the Department of State Services, the ‎National Human Rights Commission and the Nigerian Bar Association, Olatubosun said: “On 14th of February 2015, at about11.21am, one Mr. Ariyo Afolabi, a native of Afao-Ekiti and a close aide of Governor Ayo Fayose called me on my phone number 08063273334 through his own number 08134519311 threatening that he would deal with me by launching an attack on me and my wife anytime soon
