I’ll Probe Fayose’s Govt, Says Fayemi After Meeting Buhari

Ekiti State Governor-elect, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has revealed he will “examine” the records of monies received and expended by Governor Ayodele Fayose’s administration in the last four years.

Dr Fayemi, who emerged governor-elect after defeating Governor Fayose’s anointed candidate at the July 14 governorship election in the state, said for the “interest of good governance” he will probe Fayose tenure when after he leaves office on October 16, 2018.

The governor-elect said this after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Thursday.

“Well, l think we need to remove this election from personalities. This was an election that we fought on issues and it will be irresponsible on my part to come here and say that we will not examine what transpired in the last four years in the manner of government,” he said.

“What was received in Ekiti state and the expenditure in that period, why were we not able to pay salaries in the state. These issues should be examined in the interest of good governance.

“It is not about probing Fayose, probing Eleka etc, it is about not repeating the mistakes of the past and giving our people good government. So, we will also involve in looking at what transpired in the last four years,” Fayemi told State House reporters.
