Property In Dubai: APC Indicts Gov Fayose

23rd Jan. 2016

Fayose who denied media reports that he is one of 15 politicians who own properties in Dubai, the has also challenged anyone with information of any property linked to him in Dubai to publish the details.

But the APC in a statement by the statepPublicity secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, described Fayose’s denial that he had no property in Dubai as an afterthought.

According to The Punch, the party said the governor’s frequent trips to Dubai almost every month after receiving the state’s allocation from Abuja was a pointer to the fact that Fayose was making investment in the Middle-East country.

Olatunbosun said: “We will rather believe in the official statement of the Government of UAE listing Fayose as a property owner than to believe Fayose who we all know is a pathological liar. Only last December, we raised the alarm that Fayose for the umpteenth time again travelled to Dubai with about N250m Ekiti money when he fraudulently collected estacode for 10 aides who never travelled with him.

“It is the height of insensitivity and wickedness on the part of Governor Fayose, who daily deceives Ekiti workers that Ekiti State is broke, to loot the treasury and invest in property in Dubai.

“Not done, Fayose imposed heavy taxes on Ekiti masses thereby making life difficult for them while he currently owes Ekiti civil servants four months’ salaries even though he collects federal allocation to the state every month, yet he is owing pensioners five months’ arrears while he and his wife travel to Dubai almost interchangeably.”

Meanwhile, Idris Umar, a former minister of transport during the administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan has also denied owning a house in Dubai.

Umarr who was reported among Nigerians who owned properties in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, also denied that he was in the Arab country and claimed he was in Abuja.
