The Ekiti state government has terminate the appointment of Isaac Ayodele as the Chairman of the State Sports Council with immediate effect.

This was contained in a letter made available to journalists on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti.

The letter which was dated November 19, was signed by the Secretary to Ekiti Government, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, but was dispatched to Ayodele on November 20.

The letter stated,“I wish to inform you of the directive of Governor Kayode Fayemi that you should be relieved of your post as Chairman, Sports Council with immediate effect.

“You are to hand over government property in your custody to the General Manager, Sports Council, Chief Deji Samo, immediately,”

It, however, wished Ayodele best of luck in his future endeavours.

The development was further confirmed by Samo in a telephone interview with the journalists on Saturday.

 Ayodele was re-appointed as chairman of the sports council in June, having served in the same capacity towards the final lap of Fayemi’s first term in office.
