The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has urged President Mohammadu Buhari to return the N1.5 billion of the state money donated to fund his election by former governor of the State, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
The party in statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, said the money, if returned will go a long way in cushioning the effects of the dwindling economic fortune of the State, especially payment of workers salary.
The statement was issued by the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Jackson Adebayo.
The statement reads: “Equity and justice demand that President Muhammadu Buhari should return what he got from Ekiti State treasury through Fayemi, if he is running after those who allegedly got money from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).”
Fayemi, who is now Buhari’s Minister of Solid Minerals reportedly transferred N1.5 billion from his account in a bank located along Liberation Square, Accra, Ghana to the APC Presidential Campaign Fund account “in other to place him in a vantage position for ministerial appointment should Buhari wins the February 14 Presidential election,” and true to his expectation, he was appointed minister.
