Governor Oyebanji suspends Commissioner less than a week after inauguration

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has suspended the Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Home Affairs, Olaiya Atibioke, for two weeks.

The Commissioner, who is one of those inaugurated less than a week ago, bagged the suspension for unauthorised departure from the venue of a three-day retreat organized for them.

According to a statement signed by Yinka Oyebode, the Special Adviser (Media) to Governor Oyebanji, the Commissioner was nowhere to be found during the signing of the performance charter.

Governor Oyebanji, who fully participated in all the sessions of the 72-hour retreat, had earlier stated that there would be zero tolerance for indiscipline and poor performance.
