Executive Director of Zenith Bank, Sola Oladipo led management team of the bank to beg Ekiti state Governor Fayose yesterday over his frozen accounts.
Statement released by Fayose's Special Assistant, Lere Olayinka reads:
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.
Statement released by Fayose's Special Assistant, Lere Olayinka reads:
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 identified as
Shola.Oladipupo. 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.
