Unconfirmed
reports have it that Zenith Bank Plc has meted out punishment to one
bank official, who was pictured on his knees at Ayo Fayose's residence
in Abuja pleading with with the governor over the funding of the 2014
gubernatorial election in Ekiti.
Zenith Bank Plc staff, Bunmi
Falana aka Bumshaka, has been reportedly demoted to a mere marketer by
the leadership of the bank over his culpability in the unpopular saga
with the Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose over allegations of
illicit funding.
According to rumours, Falana has also been told to resume work at a branch in Agbara Lagos immediately. This happened after he was caught on camera kneeling down to beg Fayose
to help conceal his role in the issuance and management of illicit
funds that has attracted the attention of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission who have currently frozen the Governor's personal bank
accounts.

Other reports have described Falana as a close associate of the vocal People's Democratic Party cheiftain who is said to have facilitated his employment in the bank as well as his undeserved rapid promotion.
Zenith bank is yet to issue an official statement to clear the air
on the claims that the corporate body solely funded the election of
Fayose which is against the provisions of the Companies and Allied
Matters Act.
