Ekiti Government set to sack Fayose's kinsman

A veteran journalist and one of the senior staff of the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State, BSES, Mr. Laolu Omosilade is under serious threats by the agents of the Ekiti State Government.

In a statement issued by the Chairman, Board of Director of the corporation, Segun Omolayo stated that Omosilade will be dismissed from the civil service, if he refuses to accept the offer of Demotion, to be meted out to him and one other person there soon.

Omosilade who is from Afao-Ekiti, the country home of the immediate past governor of the state, Ayodele Fayose was among the staff alleged of being loyal to the former governor and former DG of the station, Lere Olayinka.

He, and forty others like Yomi Osuntokun, Muyiwa Akinrelere, Toye Coker, Niran Fasina etc, have earlier been posted to the Min. of Information after facing many Panels, but triumphed without blemish, since the beginning of this 2nd tenure of Dr. Fayemi before their plan to ease him out.

Omosilade who was singled out for demotion amongst the incarcerated workers, was the Pioneering State Chairman of RATTAWU in Ekiti State and the immediate past State Chairman of NUJ. And presently, the President of Afao Development Council, an umbrella body for all Associations in the ancient community.

In a recent development, one Mrs Oyinade Adelusi, an Ado Ekiti indigene by marriage, has also been dismissed by the same Corporation, for not accepting a Letter of Incarceration, by the same set of people, led by same Segun Omolayo.

Meanwhile, the said Prince Segun Omolayo was dismissed from the BSES, during the slot of Sole Administrator Adetunji Olurin, for Incompetency.

Omolayo however, took BSES and Ekiti State Govt. to court, a case still pending at the Ado Ekiti High Court.

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area.

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
