The 16 former Ekiti Local Government chairmen sacked by former Gov. Kayode Fayemi have rejected the N35 million offered by Gov. Ayodele Fayose out of the N3.3billion owed them.

Mr Ogunbiyi Olasunakanmi-Synergy, who led the sacked chairmen, made the rejection known at a news briefing on Thursday in Abuja.

The Town Crier recalls that the Supreme Court had on Dec. 9 ordered the state government to pay the chairmen and Councillors N3.3 billion as compensation.

In a unanimous judgment read by Justice Chima Nweze, the Supreme Court held that the sack by Fayemi was illegal and unconstitutional.

Olasunakanmi-Synergy said that an attempt to subvert the Supreme Court’s judgment would be resisted by “the good people of Ekiti’’ and called on Fayose to obey the verdict of the apex court.

He said that violating the Supreme Court would amount to a total disregard to the judgment of the court.

“All the local government chairmen between 2008 and 2010 met today and unanimously rejected the governor’s offer because accepting such offer will be tantamount to disobeying the Supreme Court,’’ he said.

He said that any negotiations from the governor should be done through the association’s lawyer, Mr Obafemi Adewale.

He called on the governor to act in the interest of the people who served the state “meritoriously’’.

The former chairman, therefore, said that denying them their benefit would not augur well for the members.

This is very funny..

I beg make i send my account number

Thank God no be fayose sack them.....but na him won pay....

make i balance here first ,comment ll be later

Nawa o. Do they expect him to use workers salary to pay less than 50 people sacked by Fayemi?

A bird at hand beta pass 2 for brush.why not take the 34m first and fight for the rest

Fayose should up it to 100million then negotiate with them how he ll pay the rest

who is here

Do these people expect Gov. Fayose to pay them 3.3BN? Where will Ekiti state get that kind of money to pay 16 Ex-Chairmen?
Fayose should just keep that 35MN and use it for other better things.

Fayose pls dash me the money if them no want

Y

Im even try pay Una small u come reject..sack no be him sack Una, money no be him owe Una if na me eyyyh....make I hear dat person wey go come tell me say govt. Na continuity nah make im see as we go settle'am 4 town square

NgeneUkwenu:
The Federal Govt should deduct the damn cash from Ekiti State Monthly allocation..

This is evil and wicked. Nevertheless, I stand with the court judgement.

I talk am for here, some Judas go dey amongst them, they will go behind others back and collect the 35m even lesser amount

Dëm go take am. Fayose my man no mind dem.

Supreme Court can order the payment, but the money can't be borrowed to pay 16 people 3.3 billion. maybe next two administration in Ekiti will help them.
