The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has ordered immediate dissolution of the boards of government agencies, parastatals and corporations in the state.
The former governor Ayodele Fayose led administration constituted the membership of the agencies, parastatals and corporations.
The dissolution directive was contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Biodun Oyebanji and made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti yesterday.
In the statement, chairmen of the boards were directed to hand over to the most senior officer in their respective agencies.
Oyebanji however said that the dissolution does not affect the statutory boards.
He insisted that his boss would only defend himself in the law court, saying that EFCC had demonstrated that it was out to persecute the former governor ostensibly because of his criticism of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government.
