‘Stomach infrastructure’ not responsible for Fayemi’s defeat -Bamidele
The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Legislative Budget and Research, Opeyemi Bamidele, has cautioned the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to stop inculpating his loss at the June 21 governorship election on his refusal to distribute mazuma and bags of rice to the electorate.
According to him, “stomach infrastructure” theory advanced by the Governor’s team can send an erroneous signal about Ekiti people to the outside world.
Bamidele, in a verbalization by his Media Aide, Ahmed Salami, in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, verbally expressed the theory was unfounded as it did not influence the cull of the electorate, which voted against him.
He verbally expressed prior to the election, Fayemi distributed over 200 buses among different interest groups while his wife, Bisi, distributed buses, sewing machines and several other equipment to market women.
Bamidele posited that some self-accommodating intellectuals and politicians bamboozled Fayemi and cost him the victory recorded by the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, in the election.
He integrated that the poll remained the best conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission in recent time, albeit not absolutely devoid of hitches.
