Following the reported case of the looting of Ikun Dairy Farm in Ekiti State in the dailies, the Action Congress (AC) in the state has expressed that it was not expecting anything less from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government in the state

Report has it in the dailies that the Ikun Dairy Managing Director, Mr Wole Adedipe,  his Deputy, Mr Segun Omotunde, the Chief Security Officer (CSO) and five others were arrested and detained for allegedly involving in stealing some of the cows at the farm

In a swift reaction from the AC yesterday, the Director, Communication,  Dr Kayode Fayemi Campaign organisation, Yemi adaramodu, said the looting of Ekiti Dairy Farm should be expected "since the grandmasters are looting the main treasury in Ado-Ekiti, their wards are looting peripheral commonwealth at Ikun."

The AC said it is no more news that the PDP government are looting the treasury, adding that the PDP in the state has turned the state treasury into its cash bags as "Funds are daily taking sordid flight out of Ekiti under questionable and unscrupulous heads, ranging from cash gifts to guests, state of the state expenditure to curious contingency expenses for the PDP governor".

The party stated further that it expected Ekiti PDP regime to lock itself up in a political purgatory and purge itself of political iniquities which "it has visited on Ekiti people," adding that it is an "unfortunate testimony to the executive corruption that had been the only dividend of democracy bequeathed to the people by Ekiti PDP."

According to the AC, "It is egregiously bizarre that a governor who had allocated huge unaudited security vote to himself could siphon more funds through questionable emergency requests and subsequent allocation.

"It is sad and pathetic that a regime which could not fix the dilapidated Ado-Ekiti hospital\'s surgical theatre could fritter a whooping sum of hundred million naira of the State\'s money in a day to massage executive insatiability.

"Ekiti has receded into fiscal abyss since 2007 when the PDP army of occupation captured the political essence of the state, with manacles firmly put on their limbs leaving the state deep in spurious bank loan debts.

"Regrettably, the state\'s broadcasting corporation is crippled while the PDP regime had appropriated funds to external media to whitewash an immortally stained image.

"The State of the state programme is only another drain pipe through which the State funds would be drained into the executive bottomless pockets of Ekiti PDP marauders as confirmed by the panic allocations for the frivolous and vexatious event." It stated.
