Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has issued a formal directive that the Ekiti State Government should take full responsibility for his burial and ensure he is laid to rest within four weeks of his death.
As reported by Daily Post, Fayose, who turns 65 today, disclosed the instructions in a six-minute video posted on YouTube by City Edge TV on Saturday.
The former governor said he had already communicated his wishes in writing to the incumbent governor.
“Remember me for anything. And when I die, let me say this: death is inevitable.
“My body belongs to the Ekiti State Government. I’m delivering a letter to the governor,” he said.
According to him, irrespective of when he passes, the state government should assume custody of his remains and strictly adhere to his burial guidelines.
“Let’s say in another 20, 30 years, 15 years — whatever time — for the glory of God, the Ekiti State Government takes over my body, and I must be buried within four weeks.
“Because the state might not be ready within two or three days, we allow them four weeks,” he added.
