Ekiti State Governor-elect, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has denied saying he will probe Governor Kayode Fayemi when he takes over from Fayemi on October 16.
The governor-elect, who defeated Fayemi during the June 21 governorship election, further stated that he had no Twitter account and anything credited to him on the micro-blogging site was false.
Fayose said this in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, on Monday.
He said sensitive state matters would be communicated to the public through the appropriate channel and not on social media.
The Peoples Democratic Party leader said although he was averse to some of the policies of the Fayemi administration, he would not engage in a smear campaign.
He said, “The governor-elect dissociates himself from any report sourced from the social media, claiming that he will probe Governor Kayode Fayemi. The Governor-elect does not operate a Twitter account and equally believes that if there is a need to take a decision, he does not need to go to the social media.
“In this day of Internet fraud, it augurs well for media houses to crosscheck. If the governor-elect has issues to clear or react to, he can contact such people. We don’t play politics with the future of our state. So, we take exception to such reports and we want to make it clear to the public that if we have issues, we will issue statements.” Agency report
