The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, however, described the celebration of the release of 21 Chibok girls by the Federal Government as diversionary.
He said it was a “tactic employed by the Federal Government to divert the attention of Nigerians away from the hunger and outrage generated by the crackdown on judges.”
Fayose spoke in Iyin-Ekiti, Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state on Thursday while inaugurating a block of four classrooms built for the Erelu Angela Adebayo Children’s Home by his wife, Feyisetan.
The governor announced the donation of N250,000 to purchase uniforms for the inmates in the orphanage and another N250,000 for food, while placing a curse on any official, who would divert the money.
Fayose added, “What they came out today to tell Nigerians that 21 abducted Chibok girls have been released by the Boko Haram group is diversionary. Nigerians have never had it so bad.
“People are very hungry. What they did today is just to divert attention from what they did last week by clamping judges and justices into detention. While no one is saying corruption should be condoned, but due process must be followed.
In her speech, the governor’s wife said it was an uncommon divine opportunity to be in charge of the state at this point in time.
