ADO-EKITI—The Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, in the Southwest has berated the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, over his refusal to pay salaries of local government workers in the state, saying; “Fayemi and his party, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) should stop treating Ekiti workers like beggars.”

In the last three days, local council workers in Ekiti State have been protesting non-payment of the N19,000 minimum wage announced by the governor late last year. N13,000 is being paid instead of the N19,000 the governor said he was paying the workers.

In a statement by its Zonal Publicity Secretary, Kayode Babade, PDP said; “Fayemi is a double-mouthed hypocrite, who preaches true federalism but run local councils in Ekiti State as parastatals of the Governor’s Office.”
