Fayose Zenith bank staff allegedly beg Governor not to expose transactions

The Ekiti Governor, who was visibly angry, said the bank's denial shows that there is a conspiracy to implicate him.

Top officials of Zenith bank were caught on camera allegedly begging Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state not to expose more details of the transactions that transpired.


You will recall that the Governor had earlier revealed that he was funded by the bank and other donors.
But the management of the bank in a swift reaction, issued a statement denying Fayose’s claim.
The Ekiti Governor, who was visibly angry, said the bank's denial shows that there is a conspiracy to implicate him.
Fayose, in a statement signed by  his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said “I stand with my claim that Zenith Bank Plc majorly funded my election in June 2014.
“I don’t expect an organisation like Zenith Bank to stay in a corner in matter of national concern like this and be talking.
“Rather, I expect the Zenith Bank to issue an official statement not as feeble as this one being peddled in the media so that I can begin the second stage of my revelations.
“My statement was made in the open and if I can accuse an institution like Zenith Bank in the open, I expect the institution to give official reply and not one online medium claiming sources in the bank.
“All what have been claimed to have been said by the Zenith Bank in the media can be situated in the realm of rumour because an organisation like Zenith Bank won’t react to issues through sources.
“And I want to refer the APC, the Zenith Bank and the EFCC to John chapter 8 verses 6-7, which says, ‘This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. When they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone‎.
“Let those who are orchestrating this know that failure awaits them.”
Governor Ayo Fayose's bank account was blocked by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, June 20, 2016.

A former United States Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, has described former President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience, as being arrogant and flamboyant when she was Nigeria’s first lady. In a piece he wrote on Friday, ‘Nigerian President Buhari’s Sisyphean Efforts’, and posted on Council on Foreign Relations’ website, Campbell also wondered how Jonathan’s wife became wealthy having spent most of her life as a civil servant The ex-US envoy stated, “Patience Jonathan as the first lady was flamboyant, arrogant, and widely disliked. She has yet to be convicted of a crime.

Among other actions taken by the EFCC was the freezing of Jonat...
