Ajayi, who was Fayose’s lawyer before he was appointed Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, listed 13 high-profile cases he handled for Fayose which had not been paid for.
In a letter made available to reporters in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday, he said he was demanding N600million at the rate of N50million for each of the case listed, subject to accruable interest.
“You will recall that you never paid our chamber, Owoseni Ajayi & Associates for the services rendered throughout the time because of your financial incapacitation despite numerous demands because you were already out of office at the material time,” the letter read.
“It should be stressed that we never acted free because we are legal practitioners working for our legal fee nor offered you ‘pro bono’ service because you were not a pauper to be qualified for such a service.
“We merely showed understanding up till now because of the prevalent circumstances verily known to you. And now that you have served another term as Governor of Ekiti State, you are financially strong enough to pay the said sum as demanded.
“Sir, you will agree with us that a labourer deserves his wages. We thank you for your patronage and we also deserve commendation for having discharged our professional responsibility with diligence and without compromise.
“And also for saving Your Excellency from several legal embarrassments.”

ReplyDeleteⓂc pinky 👮
N50million naira per case?? Greedy lot!Good morning Stella..good morning house.
ReplyDeleteThe lawyer is a thief and should be prosecuted too...how can you charge N50 million for a case? He is indirectly encouraging corruption. How much is Fayose salary as a governor?? Both of them should be arrested at the end of Fayose' tenure.
ReplyDeleteAbi ooooo na thief him be
DeleteHe's a SAN. And they don't charge cheap. Lol
DeleteThank you. The lawyer said now that you have served a second term we believe you are now financially strong. Is his salary as a governor able to pay that? Also who says you were not a pauper? They really need to look into hiring better people to write corrrespondence before charging £600m lol
