I AM GOING TO PROBE FAYOSE’S ADMINISTRATION, GOVERNOR FAYEMI DECLARES
He added, ‘and we have become the point of jokes, due to the crass ineptitude, loquacious ignorance and ravenous corruption masquerading as governance in our State during the past administration’.
“As we assume office, it is our duty and we will live up to it and ensure we thoroughly review documents and widely disseminate the current state of affairs so that all and sundry can know what has become of our commonwealth’.
“Independently verifiable preliminary findings indicate that we have been plunged into a debt of over N170 billion with commitments to innumerable white elephant projects; an average of eight months salaries owed across government entities, many state assets unaccounted for.
“We will ensure that within 100 days from today, Ekiti kete will know the true position of things in keeping with our ethos of transparency and accountability in government. We are not interested in trial by media; witch-hunting or playing to the gallery. We will seek out the truth and lay it before our people.”

“However, as the events of the past four years go into the history books, we will take duty to ourselves and generation coming after us, to work together to ensure that never again shall we be deceived into making such a grievous mistake that has set us back so steeply on the development curve,” he said.
The Governor stressed that, Ekiti people should never again allow the leadership of the State to fall into the hands of those who do not know anything about governance or development,also noting that his vision was to have a State where people would be safe and thrive.
Speaking further, he listed agriculture, social investment, infrastructural development and entrenching knowledge economy as the focus of his administration in the next four years,emphasizing that,.he would be committed to paying all salary arrears, saying he would not rest until “the burning issue of payment of salaries is fully addressed.”
