The governor of Ekiti
State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said he won’t attend the in-coming governor Dr.
Kayode Fayemi’s inauguration on Tuesday because he has a date with the office
of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The governor also advised
members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly to co-operate with Fayemi and work
for the interest of the state.
Fayemi had, on Wednesday,
said he had invited Fayose and was expecting him to attend the swearing-in on
Tuesday.
But speaking at the state
press conference in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, Fayose said he might play into the
hands of his enemies if he fails to report at the EFCC office.
“If I should attend the
programme, some politicians might use the chance to harass me, even when they
are not sent by Fayemi.
“This will further destroy
(our) relationship. Issues between me and Fayemi are not personal. I have been
cooperating with the committee set up by Fayemi on this transition
“Again, I have to be in
EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday. But, let me say clearly that I am ready to
appear before any panel set up by incoming government to probe my
administration,” he said.
