Members of the Ekiti State Executive Council on
Wednesday abandoned their food moments after Governor Kayode Fayemi announced
the dissolution of his cabinet.
The governor sacked the commissioners after
holding an executive council meeting with them.
The commissioners, it was learnt, lost appetite
and abandoned the food served them following the news of the dissolution.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr.
Olayinka Oyebode, announced the dissolution in a statement in Ado Ekiti.
A source close to the government said the governor
shocked some members of the cabinet who had had a good deliberation during the
meeting, which was the first in the year.
Although there had been speculation about the
impending sacking, some of the commissioners were said to have been shocked
having thought that the cabinet would be dissolved later in the year.
The source told our correspondent that the
governor did not dissolve the cabinet until after the meeting.
Many of them, who were seen after the meeting
wore gloomy look and hurriedly left the governor’s office.
The statement read in part, “The governor thanked
all the executive members for their support for the government in the last two
years, adding that the dissolution and the re-constitution that would follow
are aimed at revitalising the administration and positioning it for greater
performance.
“This is a moment of change and transformation in
all that we are doing. This is not a statement about an individual not pulling
their weight enough.”
