Desperate judgment creditors laying claim to about N159 billion Paris Club refund-related judgment debts have resorted to a smear campaign against Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State over his objection to the settlement of the suspicious debts.
PREMIUM TIMES’ expose on the controversial debts triggered the attack on Mr Fayemi, as the creditors, initially hiding behind a mask, accused him of demanding 10 per cent of the total amount at stake to drop his objection to the settlement of the debts.
Checks by this newspaper, however, indicated the allegation is false and was merely orchestrated to smear the governor as a way of weakening his resolve to block the controversial payment.
