9013074033.The governor’s Special Adviser on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said this in a series of tweets on Facebook under the hash tag ‘Fayose speaks.’Fayose,
however, maintained that he deposited the money into his fixed deposit account before he was sworn-in as governor and had declared it in his asset declaration form.He, therefore, rubbished the EFCC reports that he deposited the money in April 2015, six months after he had become governor.Olayinka tweeted, “I declared in my assets declaration form that I had N300m in my fixed deposit account in Zenith Bank #Fayose Speaks.”He maintained that he never received campaign funds from the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014.He added, “I did not get money from the NSA Office to fund my election. It is just a conspiracy; it will fail like that of 2006.“By the end of this month, we are starting a social welfare scheme in which 7,000 people will be getting N5, 000 per month #FayoseSpeaks
