Fayemi is better than Fayose - Ex- Speaker.


A former factional Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dele Olugbemi, has warned Governor Ayo Fayose to “stop adopting use-and-dump tactics” as one of his styles as a politician.
Olugbemi, who rejected his appointment by Fayose as a member of the House of Assembly Service Commission last week, expressed dismay that Fayose did not appreciate the sacrifices he made to keep him on office as governor.
Having worked with both former Governor Kayode Fayemi and Fayose as a legislator, Olugbemi declared that the two of them are incomparable saying, “the worst of Fayemi is better than the best of Fayose.”
He declared that the rejection of the appointment was based on principle and to send a message that “the era of sole administratorship has become outlandish and democratic ethos must be imbibed in the running of government.”
Olugbemi spoke with reporters on Saturday on the heels of the heat generated by his rejection of the appointment and shunning of the screening and confirmation of HASC nominees by the state lawmakers last week.
The ex-factional Speaker vowed to henceforth challenge what he called “any undemocratic tendency of Fayose through strong and constructive engagement.”
He listed some politicians allegedly betrayed by Fayose after benefiting from them to include former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Osun, Senator Iyiola Omisore, former Ekiti Assembly Speaker, Femi Bamisile, former Ekiti PDP Secretary, Tope Aluko and House of Assembly candidate, Odunayo Talabi.
