Things might not be going well currently with President Buhari as one of his Minister is being dragged to court for alleged fraud. Minister of Solid Minerals Development and the former Governor of Ekiti state, Dr Kayode is being dragged to court by the Ekiti house of assembly for allegedly looting the state to the tune of over N40 billion.
The assembly urged the EFCC and President Muhammadu Buhari not swipe the allegation under the carpet as it called the government
for an all-inclusive anti-corruption fight.
The petition, dated October 24, 2016 and signed by Speaker of the House of Assembly, Pastor Kolawole Oluwawole, was submitted to the EFCC in Abuja today, by the trio of the Deputy Speaker, Hon Segun Adewumi, Chairman House Committee on Information, Dr Samuel Omotoso and Hon Sina Animasaun.
The petition which was made available to our reporter was titled; “Complaint of fraudulent practices against former Ekiti state governor and minister of solid minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi & others: Call for investigation & prosecution.” Other people mentioned in the petition are Mr Dapo Kolawole, Mr Yemi Adaramodu, Mr Abiodun Oyebanji, Arc Oyelade (CASA Nig Ltd) and Mr Bayo Kelekun.
The deputy speaker, who addressed pressmen after the petition was submitted, said; “Since EFCC have claimed that the commission does not have any complaint against those holding power in Abuja, we have decided to submit this petition openly so that Nigerians and indeed, the entire world will be able to follow it up and ask questions from the EFCC as to what has happened to it.”
