The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose’s “unpatriotic” letter to the President of China Xi Jinping, seeking to stop the $2 billion loan requested by the Federal Government.
According to the State’s Deputy Chairman, Peter Odike, in statement on Saturday, no government globally, including his own state, had not partly funded developmental projects through borrowing.
The statement reads in part: “The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress totally condemns the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, over his purported letter to the Government of China in which he called for the cancellation of the $2b loan being granted to the Nigerian Government by the Chinese Government.
“We therefore call on Governor Fayose to immediately withdraw his very ill-informed, ill-motivated and unpatriotic letter and apologise to Nigerians for this national embarrassment.”
Fayose was quoted in the letter to the Chinese Government on Wednesday calling for the cancellation of the $2b loan which was to be granted to the Nigeria Government.
