Governor Ayodele Fayose has sacked a Permanent Secretary in the Ekiti State Civil Service, Mr. Tunde Alokan.
it was learnt on Monday. Alokan until his removal was the Permanent Secretary in charge of the Office of Establishment. Fayemi appointed Alokan as permanent secretary in January 2012.
A close sourse revealed that Alokan was relieved of his duty because of his closeness to a former state governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi. It was learnt that Fayemi attended the burial of Alokan’s late father held in Efon Alaaye in February which the source said did not go down well with the powers that be in the state.
But Fayose, while confirming the dismissal of Alokan on Monday night, said it had nothing to do with Fayemi attending his late father’s burial ceremony. According to his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said, “The governor has the power to hire and fire. The position of a permanent secretary is political and is at the discretion of the governor; enough of this blackmail.
