Reacting to the reported rebuttal issued by the Zenith Bank over statement credited to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State that the financial house funded his 2014 re-election campaign, the Ekiti State chief executive has insisted he stands b y his claim.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado Ekiti, Friday, the governor said, “I stand by my claim that the bank majorly funded my election in June 2014.
“I don’t expect an organisation like the accused bank to stay in a corner in matter of national concern like this and be talking.
”Rather, I expect it to issue an official statement not as feeble as this one being peddled in the media so that I can begin the second stage of my revelations.
”My statement was made in the open and if I can accuse an institution like that in the open, I expect the institution to give official reply.
”All what have been claimed to have been said by the bank in the media can be situated in the realm of rumour.
”And I want to refer the All Progressives Congress (APC), the bank and the EFCC to John chapter 8 verses 6-7, which says; “This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
“When they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone .
“Let those orchestrating this know that failure awaits them.”
