Ekiti State House of Assembly has said the House will invite former governor Ayodele Fayose at the appropriate time to make clarifications on some financial dealings he undertook during his reign.
The Assembly said a committee had been set up to discuss Fayose’s invitation with respect to the N10 bn supplementary budget passed 30 days to his exit from office on October 15, 2018 .
The Chairman , House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Yemisi Ayokunle, said this while speaking on the first year in office of the sixth Ekiti Assembly.
In response to a question whether Fayose had been invited , she said, “ We didn’t invite him, but we were about discussing his issue when he (Fayose) came in here as a meddlesome interloper.”
Recall Fayose last year stormed the Assembly complex in December 2019 , saying he was there to clarify issues after news spread that he was being invited . He was however resisted by the lawmakers.
As part of the activities marking its one year in office on June 6, the Assembly disclosed that a motion mandating the executive to rename Ekiti State Civic Centre, under construction, as John Kayode Fayemi Cultural Centre, was passed, to honour Governor Kayode Fayemi for his unwavering dedication to serve Ekiti people.
The motion was moved by the lawmaker representing Moba 1, Hon. Adeyemi Ajibade, and seconded by his colleague from Ikole II, Hon. Adeoye Aribasoye, and adopted by the whole Assembly.
