Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the call for his resignation as “laughable and absolute balder dash.”
He was responding to a protest staged by a coalition of civil society organisations and the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties on Friday in Ado Ekiti.
Fayose spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in an interview .
Adelusi alleged that those behind the protest were All Progressives Congress stalwarts.
He also said the state government had no comment to make concerning the alleged denial by Zenith Bank of their team coming to beg the governor.
“The photographs and video clips did reveal everything. But we are keeping our fingers crossed for the next line of step to take should Zenith Bank continued to be unreasonable.”
According to Adelusi, the delay in payment of workers’ salaries in Ekiti cannot be blamed on the Fayose administration because it was not his administration that plunged the state into a huge debt which has now made the creditors to continue to deduct N1.2bn on monthly basis from the allocation of the state.
