After lambasting President Muhammadu Buhari for trip to China, Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has also travelled to China to attend the country’s 119th Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair.
The event, scheduled for April 14 and 19, will be staged in Guangzhou.
Justifying the trip, the governor’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, said on Tuesday that Mr. Fayose had before now travelled out of the country only twice since he assumed office in October 2014, saying his trip to China, which was planned six months ago, would be his third travel outside Nigeria.
Mr. Olayinka argued that his principal’s trip to China was different from that of the President because Mr. Buhari’s trip was aimed at borrowing $2 billion, while the governor would use his to secure partnership with prospective Chinese Investors and technical experts without committing the state to any loan.
He said the governor would hold talks with prospective investors on mechanised farming, experts in skill acquisition, particularly training in the area of perfect finishing in building construction as well as experts in auto-repairs and modern technologies.
According to him, the Canton Fair, held biannually in Guangzhou every spring and autumn, with a history of 59 years since 1957, attracts various types of business activities such as economic and technical cooperation and exchanges.
Mr. Olayinka said apart from the scheduled bilateral talks on agriculture, Governor Fayose would also take advantage of the Canton Fair to hold talks with technical experts on training and technological exchange programmes for artisans in the State as part of his plan to get technical support for the proposed Artisans Village to be built in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

Why won't the media aid justify his principal?
ReplyDeleteAfter criticising PMB
Hahahahahaha. Fayose bobo
DeleteFayose...
ReplyDeleteLool
Nothing wrong in the trip as long as he isnt going with 100 aides and not a jamboree
Exactly. I don't see the fuss. Will he sit and fold his arms when he can attract investors to better his state? I don't support how the man lashes at Buhari when it is not necessary, but I can't fault him on this one
DeleteIn my opinion his trip is very justified, he is going to showcase his state to attract investors to her, moreover in his almost two yrs period as governor this will be his third time of travelling out of the country. Abeg all his criticisms of Baba stands.
DeleteSafe trip sweetheart!!!....
ReplyDeleteEhenn! No tongue lashes from you? Hahahaha. Funny woman.
DeleteYinmu
DeleteWhatever!
ReplyDeleteAll these trips on our country's money. It is well.
DeleteI love Buhari, the kind of silent treatment he is giving Fayose is enough to make someone mad.
Delete#Yinmu#...old fart.
ReplyDeleteYes, good argument and not just good argument it is crystal clear that the two cases mirror a case of a clueless government and a worthwhile one.
ReplyDeleteOne of the trip was planned for six months to make sure the objectives of the trip would be achieved at the end of the day while the other trip was planned on impulse to go and borrow ordinary $2bn that is nothing for them to steal...
Chai!!
Stella please post.

Go and take several seats inside a nearest incinerator. What rubbish excuse is that? You all keep complaining about the suffering and yet when the loan comes,you will open your gullet and swallow without remembering all the nonsense you uttered.
DeleteIf you say stealing is a crime, don't steal. Don't start giving EXCUSES! He has travelled 3 times as a governor abi? Mr Buhari is the president of 36states, so if Fayose is the president he would have travelled 36 X 3 times which is more than 100times. Ayo Fayose,please visit a dentist there let them pluck out his whole rotten teeth.
Fantastic @ anon. Beautifully argued. Abeg receive e hugs.

ReplyDeleteIs fayose going there to borrow? Cos I know clueless bullhari is begging for loans now. I hope this asslicking pays though hehheehehheehehehhe
ReplyDeleteShebi Ekiti state will not benefit from Buharis Loan. If fayose is dissing Buhari about borrowing then he is shooting his Oga Jona at the blokos.
DeleteHian !!!! Keep on confusing people of Ekiti ooo you hear press secretary ..... Chicken will soon come home to roost ..: so they will just partner you just like that .. We ain't no dunce
ReplyDeleteAs for Baba Buhari pls do quick with whatever change you and your team are implementing cos I know things will surely get better but people are suffering
Travelling to beg for investment and to beg for money, so different indeed.
ReplyDeletebut really pmb tries a lot it's not easy to be on air all the time anywhere may be it's me sha.
ReplyDeleteHypocrisy at its peak. How this news take pay outstanding salary of civil servants in Ekiti state. Nonsense

ReplyDeleteSexiest mother,I sent u a mail..please reply
ReplyDeleteWHY IT IS TOO EARLY TO BLAME BUHARI.
ReplyDeleteLET US REASON TOGETHER
Talking about 16 years of PDP Vs 9 months
of APC.
HOW PDP RUINED NIGERIA.
1. PDP met a bag of rice at less than N2500 in 1999 but left it at N11,000 in 2015 when they left power.
2. PDP met the Dollar at N20 when they came in 1999 but left it at N220 in 2015 when
they were leaving.
3. PDP met petrol pump price at N11 when they came in 1999 but left it at N87 when they were leaving in 2015.
4. PDP met a bag of cement at less than
N400 but left it at N2000 while they were leaving in 2015.
5. PDP met a tin of milk at N15 in 1999 but left it at N100 when they left in 2015.
6. PDP met only OPC in 1999 but left us with Niger Delta militancy, MASSOB, IPOB, BAKKASI and Boko Haram as at when they left in 2015.
7. PDP was ushered in with a free and fair
election in 1999 by the military but they left us with ballot box snatching, rice sharing for campaigns, do-or- die politics, political assassinations etc.
8. Hmmm even Life expectancy for Nigerians was 59 years when PDP came in 1999 but PDP left it at 42years...
I think we have to stop blaming Buhari's govt, if u want to be good citizen just pray for this govt.
May God help Buhari bring back our lost
Glory.

Is he going there to borrow? When did he start planning the trip? How many aids/ commissioner did he carry?
ReplyDeleteShameless!
ReplyDeletePresident jets to China, Governor jets to China.
When will other world leaders jet to Nigeria to borrow money or attend an important event?
Well we all sit there and let it be.
So we all need to stop making empty noise.
Wish them all safe trip.
