The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has suspended the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Modupe Alade, for alleged incompetence.

In a statement in Ado Ekiti, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Idowu Adelusi, said the suspension would last for three months.

Fayose subsequently directed the state Head of Service, Dr. Olugbenga Faseluka, to oversee her office pending her resumption.

Alade was the treasurer of Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation for the 2014 Governorship Election before her appointment as the SSG by the governor.

She retired from the state civil service as a Permanent Secretary, during which she traversed many ministries including Education, and Local Government Affairs.

She hails from Ifaki Ekiti in Ido/Osi Local Government Area of the State.
