The Ekiti State government has sealed off two buildings allegedly linked to the immediate past governor, Ayodele Fayose, in Ado Ekiti for lack of approved plan and permit.

The state government, through the Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Urban Development, said the erection of the buildings contravened the laws guiding urban renewal regulations of the state government.

The twin duplexes on over six plots of land, with elevated fence, are located at the Government Reservation Area in Ado Ekiti and close to the new Deputy Governor’s lodge located within the Government House.

When journalists visited the building on Friday, the gate to the buildings was locked while contractors working on the buildings were not there.

The contractor handling the project began work about four months ago after the buildings erected on the plot were pulled down to give way to the new ones.

Fayose, who denied ownership of the buildings, accused Governor Kayode Fayemi of embarking on vindictive action.

In a statement by his media aide, Idowu Adelusi on Friday, Fayose said, “Governor Fayemi was only acting out of desperation and vengeance over the 2014 shameful electoral defeat.
