Following the reckless decision of the former governor, now the
Minister of Solid Minerals, Kayode Fayemi in 2010 to relieve Local
Government Chairmen of their duties on resumption of office as
Governor, the Supreme Court has instructed Ekiti State to pay N3.3
billion to the deposed Chairmen.
Dailytrust reported that Fayemi had appointed caretaker committee

government chairmen and councilors would have done.
In a unanimous judgment read by Justice Chima Nweze, the
Supreme Court held that the sack by Fayemi was illegal and
unconstitutional.
