According to Governor Ayodele Fayose's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lere Olayinka, officials of Zenith Bank management, including its Executive Director of Zenith Bank, Sola Oladipo led management team of the bank to beg Gov. Ayodele Fayose in Ado Ekiti yesterday, June 24, 2016.
Their visit to the governor followed a reported denial by the bank that it was not part of the funding of Fayose election and also to apologise for the brouhaha that followed the freezing of account of the governor who accused Zenith bank and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of infringing on his right of immunity.
The team was led by an Executive Director, Sola Oladipo. It also had two zonal directors of the bank and the Ado-Ekiti branch manager. When accosted by newsmen, the ED said they only came to see the governor. Asked whether the bank really dissociated itself from the claim by the governor that it was part of the funding of the election, Shola could only mutter some inaudible words. He eventually said the spokesman for the bank was not on the team and could not say anything.
While commenting on the development, Governor Fayose said the bank officials came to beg him over the issue. "They were begging me and that the matter should not go beyond this level. I asked them why did they go to the EFCC to tell lies. Why did they have to lie that money came from the Office of the National Security Adviser? If the money is for me why did they have to link with me what is not."
