•We leave treasury looters to God –Commissioner Indications emerged yesterday that the Ekiti State government may have backpedaled on its threat to probe the administration of former Governor Olusegun Oni, accused of looting the state treasury during his stint as governor.
State Information Commissioner, Mr. Tayo Ekundayo, said alleged looters of the state's resources had been left in the court of God, who he described as the ultimate judge.
Ekundayo, who represented Governor Kayode Fayemi yesterday at a Town Hall meeting in Efon Alaye in the Efon Local Government Area said: "Even if they are probed and jailed, they will get out one day. But when you are facing God's punishment, you may not get out of it."
Fayemi had, while addressing supporters who had gathered to welcome him back to the state after the May 31, 2013 Supreme Court judgement which finally established him as the winner of the 2007 governorship election in the state, said he would probe the Oni administration with a view to uncovering and recovering looted resources of the state.
The governor, who said nemesis had started catching up with them for personalising the commonwealth of Ekiti people, assured the people that the administration would not falter in its resolve to better the lots of the people through continuous execution of people-oriented projects.
He assured that his government would continue to accord the Efon Alaaye community priority in the distribution of developmental programmes, including the Social Security Scheme, road infrastructure and other projects.
While explaining that security of lives and property remained a top priority of the government, Ekundayo said the deployment of soldiers at Ita Awure Junction in the area was to provide lasting solution to the incessant robbery incidents around there and in all parts of the state.
He said efforts are ongoing to ensure improved coverage of the state-owned radio and television stations in hilly communities like Efon Alaaye and others.
