Ekiti: PDP group attacks
Gov. Fayemi over sack of 2000 workers employed by Fayose
The Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples
Democratic Party National News Media Group, PDP-NNMG, has condemned in strong
terms, the retrenchment of about 2000 workers employed into Teaching and Civil
Services of the State during the immediate past Peter Ayodele Fayose’s
administration.
The group described John Kayode Fayemi’s
action as one filled with vile, hate, wickedness and vendetta, adding that the
Governor must be reminded about the ephemeral nature of power and authority.
It said that it was only a matter of time
before the Governor’s alleged heinous actions are brought under review since
nothing lasts forever.
The group said Ekiti State has never been so
divided since its creation, stressing that the seed of discord being allegedly
sowed among indigenes of the singular most homogeneous state in Nigeria by the
governor be stopped forthwith.
It would be recalled that the Ayo Fayose
administration recruited about 2000 junior and senior workers to fill vacancies
in the state government workforce in an exercise advertised long before the
July 21st governorship election.
Governor Fayemi however in a statement signed
yesterday by his chief press secretary, Laolu Oyebode, declared the exercise
null and void claiming that the recruitment was done to throw his government
off balance.
In a statement released on Thursday, Ekiti State Coordinator of the PDP-NNMG, Bola Agboola
said the retrenchment is one devilish act too many.
He said, “Governor Fayemi has for the
umpteenth time proved his viciousness by pronouncing 2000 breadwinners hapless
and helpless!
“Fayemi is known for attempting to undermine
and dwarf his predecessors’ achievements, you would recall this was the same
way he scrapped University of Science and Technology, Ifaki which was the
hallmark of Engr. Segun Oni’s administration.
“Fayemi would have demolished Fayose’s 1.3km
flyover if he had had his way. Today, the Oja Oba that was about 95% completed
before Fayose left office in 2018 has been abandoned. In 2010, Fayemi sent
packing duly elected local government executive members and counsellors across
the 16 LGA of the state, he repeated same in 2018 after rigging his way to the
government house a second time.
“It is a known fact that Fayemi was behind
the case instituted against Ekiti State government under former governor Ayo
Fayose by landowners in communities where an airport would have been
constructed for the state, Fayemi through his aides castigated the construction
of the proposed airport but today he’s setting machinery in motion to build one,
that’s Fayemi’s kind of person.
“One would have thought that an electoral
robber who does not enjoy the support of majority of the citizenry would thread
softly with caution, same is not the case for our kinsman whose innate tendency
for crass ungodliness, profanity and profligacy will not allow not to lead a
chorus where he is not wanted”.
Agboola further stated that “there is no
gainsaying Dr. Kayode Fayemi represents the very worst of Ekiti people. He is
full of hatred for the Ekiti people, very vindictive, callous and deadly. Or
what offence did those 2000 workers he sacked yesterday commit? Must he wait
till they have spent 8 months wasting their money and precious time working
without salary for the government before telling them to stop?
“Why didn’t he sack them before the
presidential and National Assembly elections? Why didn’t he sack them before
the state assembly election? Because he knew the hue and cry won’t allow his
rigging the elections sail through without challenge? Fayemi is heartless!”
Ekiti State chapter of the PDP-NNMG hereby
call on the 2000 workers not to despair but to be strong and of good courage as
the Pharaoh they see today, they will see no more. We urge you to charge this
rogue government of the day to court, the lawyers know what to do.
Your sack is temporary, keep your letters of
appointment in a very safe place, a responsible government is coming and your
case shall be revisited, I assure you your employment will be revalidated as
this is never the end of your world, Agboola affirmed.
