See 5 mouth-watering assets Fayose now owns—with less than N10m in savings before he became gov.

A former man Friday to Gov. Ayo Fayose has revealed how the southwestern PDP blowhard forced ex-President Goodluck Jonathan to plonk down N4.7 billion to rig the 2014 guber election so he could, in turn, deliver the region to Jonathan.

Ex-NSA Sambo Dasuki eventually released the money, as the EFCC alleged.

According to Sahara Reporters, Tope Aluko said his boss gave INEC N1 billion of the cash airlifted down to Akure, and the rigged election favoured Fayose.

Though he delivered only Ekiti to Jonathan in the March presidential race, the governor appropriated the remaining cash.

And here is the raft of assets, home and abroad, the so-called grassroots governor has acquired in the last two years:

—“The N2.3 billion remaining from the total cash received for the election was used to buy house in Abuja and the house belongs to Fayose,” Aluko told Adaba FM in Ekiti yesterday.

—“Fayose purchased five houses in Victoria Island and Banana Island.

—“The property in Dubai was purchased by a fellow who is known as Bisi in Ekiti but is known as Femi abroad.”

That is as far as Aluko knows. The EFCC probing former Defence Minister Musliu Obanikoro, who flew the cash in, has traced more money (in bribes) and assets to the governor.

—Fayose also used the name of one Mrs. Moji Ladeji, his sister, to acquire a property at No 44 Osun Crescent in Maitama, Abuja, from the proceeds of the alleged offences of receiving gratification and kickbacks.

— The governor, who Aluko said had less than N10 million in savings before he became PDP’s candidate in 2014, had N89 million before the EFCC froze his account on court order.

Fayose likes to claim he has immunity from being investigated. And senior lawyer Mike Ozhekhome took his brief, and was in court to challenge the EFCC action until he was stunned on going through the commission’s counter-affidavit before Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court in Ado-Ekiti.

Ozhekhome pleaded for adjournment.

But the governor himself has been tongue-tied for over a week now.

Many think it’s unlike the loudest mouth among the PDP governors. Fayose hardly spent a day without rapping President Muhammadu Buhari.
