Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has reacted to the alleged
denial of the involvement of Zenith Bank Plc in the funding of his
election in 2014, saying the bank should come out with an official
statement on the matter.
The governor was reacting to a news report in the media, claiming
that the bank had dissociated itself from the funding of his election.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado
Ekiti on Thursday, the governor 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.”
