Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the poor state of federal roads across the state and the Federal Government’s refusal to refund funds spent on road construction.
Fayemi made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting with his loyalists in Ekiti State.
The gathering was part of his ongoing consultations with key political associates.
Expressing his displeasure, Fayemi said: “Except we are deceiving ourselves, the people are not happy with the Federal Government due to hunger and lack of money.
“If you look at all the roads, especially federal roads, if you are coming from Omuo – Ilasha – Ayedun – Oye, you know what your eyes will see.”

He lamented that despite spending billions of naira on federal roads during his administration, the Federal Government failed to reimburse the state.
“When we did the road that BAO just finished, we almost spent 18 to 20 billion on that road but the Federal Government was unconcerned and can’t refund the money spent,” he said.
He added, “If the Federal Government had refunded the money spent, the governor would have used it for phase 2 of the road I did from Iyin to Ekiti.
“The governor would have taken the road to Aramoko, but the Federal Government said it’s our road so leave it.”
