In a statement issued on Monday, Special Assistant to Governor Ayodele Fayose on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka said the claim that Ekiti State refused to assist with the flying of Olaiya’s corpse to Nigeria for burial was totally false.
While maintaining that there was no official communication between the governor and Moji Olaiya’s family on the issue of assistance, Olayinka disclosed that: “On Thursday, last week, I was contacted on phone by a journalist friend, Yomi Fabiyi on the need for the Ekiti State Government to assist in raising a sum of $15,000 needed to bring Moji Olaiya’s corpse to Nigeria.
“My immediate response was that an official request, via a letter should be made and that the letter will be presented to the governor. I gave him my email address to which I said the letter should be sent.
“On Friday, I informed the Chief of Staff to the governor, Chief Dipo Anisulowo of my telephone conversation with Yomi Fabiyi, and my response that official letter should be written to the governor.
“Up till today, the letter has not been sent and as such, no official request has been made to the State Government.
“When my attention was drawn to online publications that Governor Fayose had elected to fund the flying of the deceased corpse to Nigeria, I called the journalist who did the report and told him pointedly that no such decision was taken by the governor.
“It was on the strength of this that Mr Yomi Fabiyi issued a press statement on behalf of the Burial Committee, stating that no request had been made to the government of Ekiti State and the official letter requested was yet to be sent.
“It therefore, beats our imagination that certain character like Olukayode Salako could take to the online media to make derogatory comments on the governor, purportedly on behalf of the family.
Hnmmm who do we believe now?
ReplyDeleteThe woman is dead,these shenanigans are quite unnecessary...
DeleteSalako is petty
DeleteDon't mind the attention seeking Salako. He did this to seek attention from apc. He didn't have to insult Fayose to praise tinubu. That was distasteful and Petty. All of them using moji's death to seek attention. Meanwhile heard her body landed Nigeria earlier today.
DeleteBut let's be truthful to ourselves? People from ekiti can die in the US and fatale doesn't know them, does it mean he will pay for bringing in their corpse back to Nigeria? He might not know her na

Fayose I meant
DeleteShe's an Ekiti State indigene and State cultural Ambassador. Tye law Moji Olaiya was a very popular Yoruba Actor so Fayose cannot say he didn't know her.
DeleteIf Fayose wanted to help all these protocol ish wouldn't have been necessary. How much protocol does Fayose follow self?
Stella, you should bring yomi Fash lanso's write-up about this issue. He's a notable actor too and he spoke in favour of Fayose. He made a lot of sense about how Nigerians can have unnecessary self entitlement and even insult u on top of it. His write-up was deep.
DeleteI read the report by Yomi Fabiyi that they are yet to make an official request.
ReplyDeleteThey should let this matter rest biko. Moji needs to rest.
Na wa for wetin I type.
DeleteAfter the rumour that Fayose said he would help bring the corpse to Nigeria, they now released a statememt that they have not made an official statement.
Salako likes attention too much. He is the one causing all this plenty talk
Don't mind the mumu Salako and his wife foluke. He's the one that caused all the mix up. Na him ways. 🙄
DeleteI believe @Governor fayose... .dont mind that stupid good for nothing man called @Foluke daramolas horseband... Notice me or I die... @Tinubu sef no send you this nonsense
ReplyDeleteYou don't just call a governor on phone that, hello sir, can you help @Moji? Who is @Moji? ....we have a lot of scammers everywhere.. ...you did not follow due process by meeting with the Governor's media aid or PA.. ..you just broke all protocol and called the governor... Is that how they do?
And besides, how many committee sef Dem wan get for this burial? ...we still have the @Fathia Balogun and @Iyabo ojo committee as well... Then @Foluke daramolas and @Yomi fabiyi committee... Na WA.. .make una no just steal the money, if there is change, package that money for @Mojis daughter

DeletePeople should spare Fayose and Ekiti state please. I'm not from Ekiti but I know that Ekiti state is not a buoyant state.....Let the matter rest jare. RIP to Moji
ReplyDeleteThe money sef no much.. Na about 12 million naira... The only thing wen dey pain me be say, Dem don start to dey politicise this issue
Delete@Moji daughter sef no talk.. Who una come be?
@Galore
Salako is a bitter useless man who looks for any opportunity to bring Gej supporters down,so I am sure he did this intentionally
ReplyDeleteVery stupid man
DeleteA man that left his wife with three children and married another foolish person like @Foluke
Shameless man
@Galore
Tooorr.. Salako see your life😂
DeleteRIP to Ms Moji. But wait ooh ,Was it Ekiti Governor that fathered the child? ?, are there not good hospitals in Nigeria?? @Salako, u must be a very useless man!!! Why didnt u pay the $15k , u didnt follow protocol, and ur busy trying to tarnish Fayose's name. Idiot. It is people like u that are giving us ( Nigerians ) a bad name . Why wont Tifnubu pay the money to score political point, after fucking lagos in the ass and the common wealth of lagos to his own !!! Make una maintain ooh, before thunder go visit u thieves. Nonsense! !!
ReplyDeleteAnd where is the father of the child she had in all of this?
DeleteNo one is talking about the man cause he's married huh?
Fayose is not in anyway related to Moji and he might not even know her sef.
This matter should rest already
ReplyDeleteHonestly I do not understand. Fayose refused to help. Tinubu accepted to help, case closed. What is the beef on Fayose for? One would have thought that with all the flamboyance they display here and there on social media, they would rally round to contribute funds without having to solicit for assistance from one governor or the other. Some of these people just want the use the opportunity to make money for themselves.
ReplyDeleteBunch of selfish and fake people. If i hear anybody call Fa not to talk of yoshe, the thunder that will fire that person ehn.
Besides that are protocols to follow, I thought these people are learned, or they think you just place a call to somebody asking for money and you get it just like that? It does not work that way.
What is annoying is the manner in which Salako addressed the issue by hurling insults on the man. I was like.. wtf? Like they had something going on before.
DeleteThe family should be ashamed!
ReplyDeleteSo upon all her conversion to islam she no get reach 12 million for the account?
Besides where is the man that impregnated her? The man isnt interested and bothered cus he has a family he adores. Some women and their chicken brain!

ReplyDeleteTinubu is a hard core politician abeg. How did he know that they would need money? His PAs don over brief the guy
ReplyDeleteThe lesson that should be learnt from this unfortunate incident is that Nigerians should not travel abroad to deliver babies without adequate money and information. I suspect that the deceased didn't go through the right channels to have the baby, possibly went to deliver as an emergency patient rather than a proper patient with health insurance. Otherwise, her health issue would have been picked up and treated immediately after delivering. For example in the U.K., the health visitor would check on the mother and child regularly to monitor them and refer them accordingly. The fact that her condition had deteriorated and had to be rushed to the hospital as an emergency patient, two months after delivering confirms my suspicions.
