Fayose
An interest group in Ekiti State Civil Service, the Enlightened Workers’ Forum (EWF) has criticized Governor Ayo Fayose for his outbursts on a radio programme, where he attacked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the recent seizure of his assets.
The workers said they are in full support the anti-corruption agenda of the Buhari administration and the efforts of the anti-graft agency to ensure that the commonwealth of Ekiti people and assets purchased with arms slush funds are recovered.
They called on Fayose to pay the remaining arrears of workers’ salaries and all entitlements due to pensioners “majority of whom are dying at home because they have been neglected by the state government and denied their rights.”
In a statement issued on Friday by EWF Coordinator, Mike Bamidele, the workers dissociated Ekiti people from the anti-Buhari utterances of Fayose made on a live programme on an Ibadan, Oyo State-based radio station, Fresh FM, which was relayed on the state-owned electronic media.
The workers’ group took a strong exception to Fayose’s statement on the radio programme condemning the freezing of his personal bank account and seizure of houses linked to him when he (Fayose) asked ‘whose father’s money got lost and whose father’s houses were lost?’

The EWF contended that the EFCC cannot fold its arms and look the other way when there are concrete and incontrovertible evidence that funds belonging to Ekiti were allegedly diverted to buy choice properties within 180 days of Fayose’s assumption of power.
The group urged the EFCC, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and Department of State Services (DSS) to beam their searchlights on other banks apart from Zenith Bank to recover state funds allegedly stashed there.
The statement read: “The EFCC, ICPC and DSS still have a lot to do in Ekiti State, they should not limit their investigations to Zenith Bank alone; other banks must also be investigated and every nook and cranny of the state should be combed.”
