According to report, the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has sacked his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi following the picture of the governors outfit at the praying ground on Sallah day that went viral on social media.
In a statement made by the governors Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, and announced on the state-owned radio station, Adelusi was relieved of his duty over “dereliction of duty.”
“The governor was livid that there were no journalists in his entourage and that they were not on ground to cover his entry into the prayer ground. The governor felt he had taken more than enough from the gentleman and ordered his sacking,” Olayinka was quoted to have added.
Also according to a source in the Governor’s Office, Adelusi was sacked because he failed to organize adequate media coverage for the Eid prayer in Ado Ekiti, which the governor attended on Friday.
But it was gathered that the Chief Press Secretary, however, said he was not aware of the event because it was not officially communicated to him while saying there was no way he could have arranged for a media coverage for an event he was not aware of.
