I’m ready for Fayose’s probe, says Fayemi The immediate past Ekiti Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has expressed readiness to appear before a probe panel if set up by Governor Ayodele Fayose. Fayemi in a statement by his Chief Pess Secretary, Olayinka Oyebode, to fresh allegations raised by the new government against his administration, encouraged Fayose to “institute a probe of government transactions between October 2010 and October 2014 and stop its cheap blackmail and comical acts.” In the statement titled, “stop cheap blackmail… institute a probe,” Oyebode stated that “it was high time the new government got its acts together, have a clear understanding of the state’s finances as well as financial regulatory matters and stop juggling figures in a clear exhibition of unpardonable ignorance. “Ekiti citizens deserve to know what the administration did with state fund during the tenure of the immediate past administration and we are prepared to appear at a probe panel (if and when it is set up) within 24 hours of notice. “Instituting a probe into the financial transactions of the administration, we believe, is a better option for the current administration of Mr Fayose, instead of its recourse to falsehood, cheap blackmail and propaganda as an excuse for its ineptitude and lack of direction. “We make bold to say that the administration of Dr Fayemi took all its decisions in the best interest of the people of the state and followed the due process of law as well as financial regulations in all its dealings.” Oyebode said it was sad to note that three weeks on the saddle, the Fayose –led administration had yet to chart a direction for the state or come up with a blueprint for its programmes. “All that the administration does daily is to invent fresh excuses for its ineptitude. Governor Fayose had in the last three weeks put the state’s debt profile at six different figures. From N89billion to N57billion, to N91 billion, to N69billion, to N82billion and lately N86billion. “More pathetic is that even mundane issues such as the treasury activities of the office of the Accountant General is now being arrogated by an idle government as a main focus of a probe. “Our advice: Stop chasing shadows, be matured and concentrate on the onerous task of governance. Institute the probe…. NOW!,” Oyebode added.
