Fayose says Ekiti to get N8.6bn CBN loan, criticizes Buhari’s lopsided appointment

Ekiti Governor Ayodele Fayose has criticized the appointment of Mrs Amina Zakari headship of the Independent National Electoral Commission by President Buhari, during the swearing-in members of the State Independent Electoral Commission on Friday, headed by a retired Chief Judge of the State, Justice Kayode Bamisile.

''It baffles me when leaders make their in-laws or friend or relations members of electoral body. This is immoral,'' Fayose told the newly sworn-in appointees after administering the oaths on them in Ado Ekiti, referring to Buhari’s lopsided appointment.

He added, ''I have criticized President Buhari for making Mrs Amina Zakari the head of INEC in the country based on certain reasons and I cannot afford to toe the same line. So, the people I have here are those that can do us proud. I urge you to discharge your duty without fear or favour.''

Mr Fayose also appointed a 72-year old carpenter, Olatunde Afolayan whom reports claimed is an ''illiterate'' as the caretaker chairman of Moba Local Government.

''Ekiti to get N8.6bn from CBN loan at 9% interest through Skye Bank to pay outstanding salary owed by the APC Govt of Fayemi,'' Fayose said on Twitter on Friday.
