Outgoing Governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose has told Ekiti State to collect the 4 months outstanding Salaries from the Incoming Governor of the state Dr. Kayode Fayemi when he assumes office on October 16th.
According to Fayose, he said the money he is meant to pay them with has 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 the federal government, they should help me to pay.”
Fayose also opened up at the Launch of the new school he built in Afao-Ekiti< as part of his Legacy projects, that he didn’t borrow money from anywhere to fund all his legacy 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.”
