Election funding: Zenith Bank begs Fayose (PHOTOS SPEAK)

When we are online we need to be objective, many folks ran with the story surrounding Gov Fayose

Same Zenith Bank management team are in Ado Ekiti today to beg the Governor

Let us be circumspect when we are commenting on issue we know nothing about

The post is not to absolve anyone, but we implore our security agencies to be diligent in their duties and should desist from media war.

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.

However, a friend said the last time Fayose's handlers tried to stage something, they put their Oga behind a podium in a train station in China and claimed he was addressing world leaders and investors.

Now they have staged their Zenith Bank begging expedition in a living room and not in the Ado Ekiti motor park. This is progress.
