Ekiti
Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has restored all the privileges of former
Governor Olusegun Oni which were allegedly stopped by the administration
of Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
A
statement in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Idowu Adelusi, said the Governor took the step in appreciation of the
contributions of past leaders in the state.
“Governor
Ayo Fayose is restoring all the privileges of former Governor Segun
Oni. His portrait among those who have led the state that was removed
from the Governor’s Office by former Governor Kayode Fayemi has been
returned.
“All
those who served with him and whose portraits and other souvenirs were
removed by the past administration such as former chief press
secretaries among others, have been returned.
“It was
the Fayemi’s administration that even stopped their financial
entitlements when it made the House of Assembly to pass a bill that Oni
and Fayose were not due for such.
“The
excuse they gave was that Fayose did not complete his tenure and Oni’s
tenure was unknown to law because the court removed him from office.
“The
Fayose’s administration appreciates the contributions of those who have
led the state in the past and would not in anyway rubbish such. We are
ready to acknowledge all and would not because of political differences
rubbish what people have done in the past,” the statement said.
Adelusi expressed the readiness of the governor to provide a leadership that would eventually rank him among statesmen in Ekiti.
