In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Idowu Adelusi made available to NAIJ.com on Wednesday, October 19, Adelusi said the government had nothing against the bank and therefore had no reason whatsoever to shut it down.

“The attention of the state government has been drawn to rumours making the round, especially on social media that Ekiti State Government has shut down‎ a branch of Access Bank in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

“This is definitely coming from the warped minds of opposition elements, whose mouths have been locked by the sterling performance of Governor Ayodele Fayose and the unprecedented support he is enjoying from the people of the state.

“For the sake of clarity, Ekiti State Government has no axe to grind with the management of Access Bank. Also, the state government does not license banks and can’t withdraw same.

“We enjoin the good people of Ekiti State and Nigerians in general to disregard such unfounded rumours. They should not let themselves be dragged to the level of the unintelligent like the opposition people have shown by embarking on this type of insinuation they probably brought from the pit of hell.” Adelusi stated.

Meanwhile, Governor Fayose has opened up about his reportedly receiving money from ex-minister of state for defense Musiliu Obanikoro by asking the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to leave him alone and pay attention to the suffering of the people.

He said the project ‘Fayose must be implicated at all cost’ will not reduce the hunger and suffering ravaging Nigeria.
