The party said while not holding brief for the Federal Ministry of Finance, said the governor allegedly misinformed the public to instigate the people of the state against President Muhammadu Buhari and blackmail APC-led Federal Government.
The governor had on Tuesday told the public at a press conference in Ado-Ekiti that the Federal Government was deliberately starving Ekiti State funds to cripple his development initiatives, including failing to pay workers, in order to set Ekiti people against his government to enable APC win the 2018 governorship election.
The APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun,on Wednesday told the people of the state to hold Fayose responsible for his inability to pay workers, blaming the governor for alleged breach of agreement he signed with the Federal Government to enjoy the facility.
The party said, "All the states that are enjoying the budget support funds to enable them pay workers' salaries signed an agreement to allow the Federal Government monitor and audit the disbursement of this special fund, which is different from statutory monthly allocation from the Federation Account, for salary payment.
"While other states have kept to the agreement, Fayose asked his Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Owoseni Ajayi, to write to the Federal Government that the state would never open its accounts to the Federal Government for monitoring and auditing and it is only Ekiti governor that is breaching that agreement to qualify for the Budget Support Fund.
