Ekiti State Governor,
Ayodele Fayose, yesterday told the governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi that he
remains the governor of the state until October 16, 2018.
He was responding to
Fayemi’s statement, warning the management of the College of Education, Ikere-
Ekiti against alleged recruitment.
Fayemi had asked the school
authority to stop conniving with Fayose to embark on illegal mass employment in
exclusive favor of the governor’s supporters.
In a statement by his media
aide, Wole Olujobi, he cautioned the management of the college to steer clear
of alleged contrived sabotage mission by Fayose to cripple the incoming
administration of the governor-elect.
But media aide to Fayose,
Lere Olayinka, said the governor would carry out all the functions of his
office until October 16.
He added that if there was
the need to employ workers, he would do so legally and no one could prevent him
from doing so.
He said: “This is more so
as the process of employing 2,000 workers had commenced even before the July 14
election. Therefore, Fayemi and his ignorant team should wait till October 16
before starting their usual anti-people policies.”
The governor also asked
Fayemi and his men to rather concentrate on how to defend the false electoral
victory awarded them by the powers that be in Abuja, instead of his daily
display of idiocy.
According to him, they have
watched with amusement the way and manner in which the beneficiaries of the
Ekiti electoral robbery have been running their mouths in the last few days and
have opted to react to their advertisements of expertise in political comedy.
Meanwhile, the state
chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged Fayose to honor his
promise of paying all outstanding salaries of workers in the state before
leaving office.
In a statement jointly
signed by the NLC chairman, Ade Adesammi, and his Trade Union Congress (TUC)
counterpart, Odunayo Adesoye, the unions advised Fayose to also consider paying
the outstanding gratuities, pensions, salaries and deductions before his tenure
expires.
The unions, however,
commended him for his efforts in the state over the years and wished him
success in his future endeavours.
