A governorship aspirant in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Hon Opeyemi Bamidele, has assured  workers in Ekiti State that they would  soon be receiving commensurate values for their services.

He saluted the workers for not betraying emotions and trust in spite that they were being owed eight month salary arrears, thereby subjecting them to untold hardship.

Bamidele, a former member of the House of Representatives said the present condition, where workers are owed months of salary arrears was pathetic and disturbing, appealing that the siege would soon be over after the July 14 governorship election.

In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Monday by his Media Aide, Ahmed Salami, congratulating the workers on the 2018 edition of workers’ Day, Bamidele appealed to workers to embrace the APC in the coming governorship election in the state.

He said this remains the best way for them to extricate themselves from bad governance being presently experienced in Ekiti.

“I want to salute the courage of our workers. I want to commend their patriotism in the face of unpaid salaries.

“I quite appreciated the fact that over 30 states of the federation are owing, but that of Ekiti is most troubling and disturbing because the state is largely a monolithic civil service state.

“The Ekiti economy hangs on the civil service, and whatever happens at that level always percolates to every stratum of the society, so the civil service must be rightly managed for efficiency of governance.”
