Federal Government withheld the January allocation meant for Ekiti state - Fayose

At a press conference in Ado-Ekiti, governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose claimed that the Federal Government withheld the January allocation meant for the state.

This, he believes is a result of his constant critism of the Buhari led administration. Read what He said below.

“After the Federal Allocation Committee meeting, it is sad that Ekiti Federal Allocation for January has not been released. Secondly, the budget support, for which we signed an ISPO for all states in Nigeria, Ekiti remains the only state not paid for the month of January, no excuse or explanation has been given. I have written to the Federal Ministry of Finance, my Commissioner has been there, as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria, nobody is ready to talk to us. We contacted the Honourable Minister, all the Directors at the Ministry of Finance, everybody is shying away from talking to us for the last 10 days now. I want to appeal to the Federal Government, I want to appeal to the Ministry of Finance not to allow the civil servants in Ekiti to suffer”.

The government is yet to respond to the accusation.
