The All Progressives Congress (APC) in
Ekiti State has been accused of running the State owned Radio and
Television stations aground when Dr Kayode Fayemi was governor.
“The party and its members refused to
pay over N35 million owed the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State
(BSES) despite repeated appeals,” said the Special Assistant to the
State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, in
a statement on Wednesday.
Olayinka said that campaign adverts and
programmes on the Radio and Television stations for Fayemi’s reelection
were not paid for.
He alleged that a sum of N23.2m was
outstanding from Fayemi’s campaign jingles and musicals alone, while
other APC leaders like Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Hon Bimbo Daramola, Yemi
Adaramodu owed over N10m.
He said; “Igba Otun by Anthony Ayikeke
that was co-sponsored by Deji Adesokan (Jaru) and Yemi Adaramodu owed
EKTV N540,000.00 and Ekiti Radio N120,000.00.
“Abomire by Olaegbon that was sponsored by Hon Bimbo Daramola owed
N330,000.00 while ERO by Lasisi Adeyemi, sponsored by Senator Babafemi
Ojudu owed N380,000.00.“Ajose Wa Ntesiwaju’ by Akanbi Taibat, sponsored by Yemi Adaramodu owed N1,442,307.00 while ‘Ibi Abase De by Tola Popoola sponsored by Hon Sunday Adumo (Galaxy) owed N300,000.00.
“JKF Moving Train by Dele Alagbon (Omo Olope) owed N4,550,000.00 while Oyinmomo by Lasisi Adeyemi sponsored by Hon. Bunmi Akanbi-Awotiku owed N388,000.00.”
He called on the APC leaders, especially Fayemi to pay up the debt, adding that; “the BSES management may have to take stringent measures to recover the debt.”
The APC in EKiti had earlier on
Wednesday accused the state government of preventing the state owned
media houses from broadcasting campaign jingles and adverts of the
opposition party.
