FAYOSE SACKS CHIEF PRESS SECRETARY OVER POOR COVERAGE HIS EID PRAYER

Governor of Ekiti State,Ayodele Fayose,  who went viral on social media on sallah day over his outfit to the Eid prayers has sacked his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi.



A statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka announced on the state-owned radio station said Adelusi was relieved of his duty over “dereliction of duty.”



Another source in the Governor’s Office said Adelusi was sacked because he failed to organise adequate media coverage for the Eid prayer in Ado Ekiti, which the governor attended on Friday. Olayinka is also quoted to have said, “the governor was livid that there were no journalists in his entourage and that they were not on ground to cover his entry into the prayer ground. The governor felt he had taken more than enough from the gentleman and ordered his sacking'.



The CPS, however, said he was not aware of the event because it was not officially communicated to him saying there was no way he could have arranged for a media coverage for an event he was not aware of.

"FAYOSE IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE CLOWN"~~ SAGAY

The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Prof. Itse Sagay, has described the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose as an irresponsible clown.

He made the claim while reacting to Fayose’s recent threat to release damaging photographs of President Muhammadu Buhari to prove that he is critically ill in London.

Fayose, while addressing reporters had said, “If they go further and try to continue to deceive Nigerians, I will release about 11 damaging pictures anytime from now on the President’s health.”

But, Sagay in his reaction to the statement cautioned the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum against his comments,thus;  “Fayose is an irresponsible clown. Given his age and position, he is an embarrassment to this country. Each time he opens his mouth, he reduces his non-existent esteem”.

“He does have any esteem, so whenever he talks, he just reduces himself to nothingness. So, he is talking rubbish and should be ignored. I believe he has been ignored at the federal level. Let that continue.”
