The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State has slammed Governor Ayodele Fayose’s attempt to allegedly demonise fellow governors contemplating pay cuts for their workers over failing health of the economy. It said the messianic posturing by the governor by urging fellow governors to cut overseas trips and shun opulence instead of cutting workers’ pay was the height of hypocrisy by the governor and fraud on Nigerian workers.

Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said in a statement that Fayose was mischievous in his pro-workers stance, noting that the governor is the most guilty of what he was advising his fellow governors to shun to enable them pay their workers.

He said: “Fayose is mischievous in his pro-workers posturing. This is a man that travels every month end to South Africa and Dubai after collecting federal allocations even when records show that Ekiti has no bilateral pact with these countries.

“This is the governor that sacked many permanent secretaries and other categories of workers. He is the first and only governor that cut the salaries and allowances of the few political office holders he appointed in breach of the law and also cut allowances to civil servants but increased his personal security vote from N150 million to N250 million.”
