Election funding: Zenith Bank begs Fayose

Top management team of Zenith Bank Plc on Thursday evening came to beg the

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, over the involvement of the bank

in the funding of the June 21, 2014 governorship election of the governor.

Their visit to the governor followed a reported denial by the bank that it

was not part of the funding of the election.
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,” he said.
