The Governor of Ekiti State, Biodun Oyebanji on Thursday revealed that he has not taken any loan since the inception of his administration as a result of increased allocation.
Oyebanji maintained that the allocation from the federal government has enabled his administration to carry out more projects in the state.
The governor disclosed this during the distribution of 20,000 bags of rice and 10,000 bags of maize to the people as palliative in response to the economic hardship in the land.
His words, “I have not taken any loan since inception as governor, because we have more money to do our work. Since last year, our allocation has increased tremendously, hence the reason we are doing much now.
“We have been using Ekiti resources to develop the state since our inauguration as governor. I am about clocking two years in office, I have travelled out of the country twice; I have stayed with you performing my responsibilities”.
This was just as he took a swipe at those who were not happy with his administration over his refusal to allow them to continue to feed fat on the state’s resources by turning Ekiti to their personal fiefdom
Oyebanji vowed to reveal their identities and report them to the people of the state, if they fail to desist from such acts.
“some people are not happy because they have the bottle of Ekiti in their mouths but we have removed it. So, it is expected that these categories of people will not be happy with the work we are doing in the state.
“ Let me assure you that we are unperturbed about these people, we are in charge and if it comes to reporting them to you my people, we will do it because you elected us to be in charge of the state.” He added
