The Ekiti State
Governor-elect, Ayo
Fayose, has vowed to
look into any last
minute bank
transactions and
appointments made by
the outgoing governor, Kayode Fayemi.
According to Fayose, the incumbent governor is making
attempt to trap his yet-to-be-inaugurated government with
financial burdens.
Writing on his Twitter handle on Wednesday, the Peoples
Democratic Party chieftain also warned banks not to engage
in any illegal transactions with the state government.
“We are aware of last minute deals by the present
government with spurious awards of contracts and
payments made — this is unfair to our people. A transition
committee is in place to work with the government (of
Kayode Fayemi) for a smooth handover and also to monitor
financial transactions that involve (his) government.
“Irregular expenditure and questionable financial
transactions by the outgoing government should find no
cooperation from commercial banks in Ekiti. Full legal action
will be brought against bank found culpable of fraudulent
financial dealings with the outgoing administration.
“Banks should continue to conduct government business
with sincerity of purpose and compliance with the highest
standards of banking integrity,” he said.
He added that the All Progressives Congress governor had
embarked on employing people in the state without
recourse to due process, saying he will look into the matter.
According to Fayose, the newly created local council
development areas will not be funded by his government.
“A government that sacked workers on spurious grounds has
now turned round to employ thousands through the
backdoor – this will be looked into.
“My position on the issue of purported LCDA creation is
explicitly stated: they have no constitutional backing and will
not be funded. While I am mindful that my mandate does
not start until October 16th, I am also mindful of the
potential time bombs being put in front of me,” he stated.
Fayose however noted that he did not consider some of his
opponents as enemies though they had unfairly criticised
him.
He said, “We can’t fail to mention those who choose to
denigrate us –we see them not as enemies but (as people
who) spur (us) to greatness and humility. Not all opponents
are enemies. Some are just too far from us to understand
who we really are as humans.
“Those who however choose to deliberately misunderstand
our position even when clearly stated are enemies of the
collective good. Let me make this clear so that our
opponents can hear: any landmine in my path as Gov-elect
is a direct attack on our people in Ekiti State.
