Fayose stated this yesterday during the inaugurati­on of a new school in his Afao-ekiti hometown, as part of his legacy projects.

Fayose also asked workers to collect their outstandin­g four months salary arrears from the incoming governor, Kayode Fayemi, adding that the money he intended to pay with, were withheld for the incoming government.

He said: "They paid other states their Paris Club Loan Refunds, but they didn’t pay Ekiti; Fayemi should help me to pay the money.

“They didn’t pay N2.2billion Budget Support Fund; my promise is fulfilled, but the money is with the Federal Government, they should help me to pay,” he said.
