The outgoing Governor of Ekiti
State, Ayodele Fayose, has asked workers to collect their outstanding four
months salary arrears from the incoming governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
He said the monies he could have
used to pay them as expected had been withheld by the Federal Government for
Fayemi’s resumption.
“They paid other states Paris
Refund, they didn’t pay Ekiti; Fayemi should help me pay the money.
“They didn’t pay N2.2bn Budget
Support Fund; my promise is fulfilled but the money is in the hands of
government, they should help me to pay.”
Fayose spoke on Wednesday during
the inauguration of a new school he built in his Afao-Ekiti home country as
part of his legacies projects.
The governor told the gathering
that he did not borrow money from anywhere to fund any of the projects.
“With all these legacies
projects, I didn’t borrow any dime. I do not owe any debt, if they say I’m
owing; they should show evidence of transaction.
“Besides, no governor can borrow
without the knowledge of the Ministry of Finance and the Debt Management
Office.”
Fayose urged the incoming
administration not to neglect the school or abandon any legacy project.
He said the school named Gifted
Academy International would receive students from Ekiti and outside on 50:50
ratio.
“The school is equipped with
modern equipment, laboratories, furniture and Closed-Circuit Television for
surveillance,” he said.
He urged the people of the town
to preserve the heritage and support government in sustaining it.
