Ekiti Denies Receiving Any Money From FG

Ekiti State Government has described as malicious reports from some quarters that the new administration has received N30 billion from the Federal Government in the last one week.

In a statement signed by Mr. Yinka Oyebode, Chief Press Secretary to Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the state would have ignored the “baseless rumour that is being circulated on social media by some unscrupulous individuals, but for the sake of members of the public that could be misled in the process.”

According to the state government, “the fact remains that the new administration has not received any money from the Federal Government or any of its agencies since its inauguration a week ago.

“As a responsible government that believes in accountability and transparency, this government will always provide correct information to the people on all its transactions and will not hide anything from the people.

The state government then assured members of the public of regular briefings on the state of finances and developments in the state.

“The era of government by deceit and falsehood has ended on October 15, 2018. The present administration is focused on meeting its obligations to workers, pensioners and the general public and will not be distracted by lies being told  by remnants of the crumbled Ayo Fayose dynasty,” stated the government.
