Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has said that he remain the executive governor of the state till October 16, 2018, and will carry out all the functions of his office without anyone preventing him from doing so.

Fayose through a statement issued and signed by Lere Olayinka, Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, was responding to a statement where the governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi was warning the governor, Ayodele Fayose against illegal employment in the state.

The full statement read:

“We have watched with amusement the way and manner the beneficiaries of the Ekiti electoral robbery have been running their mouths in the last few days and we have opted to react to their advertisements of expertise in political comedy.

The last time that we checked, Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose was still the governor of Ekiti State and he remains the governor till October 16, 2018.

Governor Fayose will carry out all the functions of his office till October 16 and if there is need to employ workers, he will do so legally and no one can prevent him.

This is more so that the process of employing 2,000 workers had commenced even before the July 14 election.

Therefore, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and his team of desperately ignorant team should wait till October 16 before kicking off their usual anti people policies.

Also, we advise Fayemi and his men to rather concentrate on how to defend the false electoral victory awarded to them by the powers that be in Abuja instead of this daily display of idiocy, the statement added.
