Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti
state, says Ayodele Fayose, his predecessor, received N18.4 billion bailout
fund from the federal government but refused to pay workers’ salaries.
Fayemi said this on “Meet Your
Governor”, a monthly interactive programme he introduced after he was sworn in
October.
He promised to give the people of
the state a forensic audit financial report of the state when his
administration clocks 100 days in office.
“We will give Ekiti people
forensic comprehensive report on finances in our hundred days in office. Ekiti
tate has not received intervention funds from federal government under my
watch,” he said.
“Former governor Ayodele Fayose
collected N18.4 billion from the coffers of the federal government. It’s sad
that those who praised Fayose government that took the over N18 billion Paris
Fund from the federal government and failed to pay backlog of salaries are the
ones lying against this government that just clocked two months in office.
“We decided not to appoint
political office holders in other to pave way for workers salary.”
The governor also said security
officers in the state now enjoy allowances to motivate them.

This is not true Fayemi, we were all here when Fayose was shouting that his own had been witheld. Now that you have received it please pay Ekiti workers without apportioning blame to Fayose.
