This is according to SA to the Ekiti State
Governor on Public Communications & New
Media, Lere Olayinka. Read the statement
below..
‘A management team from Zenith
Bank Plc visited Ekiti State
Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, over
the involvement of the bank in the
funding of the June 21, 2014
governorship election of the
governor. Their visit to the
governor followed a reported
denial by the bank that it was not
part of the funding of the election.
The team was led by an Executive Director, Sola
Oladipo. It also had two zonal directors of the
bank and the Ado-Ekiti branch manager. When
accosted by newsmen, the ED said they only
came to see the governor. Asked whether the
bank really dissociated itself from the claim by
the governor that it was part of the funding of the
election, Shola could only mutter some inaudible
words. He eventually said the spokesman for the
bank was not on the team and could not say
anything.
While commenting on the development, Governor
Fayose said the bank officials came to beg him
over the issue. “They were begging me and that
the matter should not go beyond this level. I
asked them why did they go to the EFCC to tell
lies. Why did they have to lie that money came
from the Office of the National Security Adviser?
If the money is for me why did they have to link
with me what is not.”
