The Ekiti State Head of Service , Dr. Olugbenga Faseluka, State Chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Comrade Ade Adesanmi have disagreed with the State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose over the application form being distributed to Ekiti indigenes who are mostly members of People's Democratic Party.

The disagreement came against the backdrop of the dismissal of three senior civil servants on the order of the governor. The dismissed officers who were said to have opposed the politicisation of the promotion exercise currently going on in the state civil service, were sacked without following civil service rules.

Sources also hinted that Ekiti State Civil Service Commission was also faulted for asking workers to sing the PDP governorship candidate's gingles at the ongoing promotion interviews. A move which majority of the interviewed workers described as "strange and disturbing."

It would be recalled that barely a month to the July 14 election, application forms were curiously made available by Governor Ayo Fayose to employ 2000 people into the civil service. Curiously, rather than allowing the civil service commission, the statutory institution that is constitutionally empowered to recruit workers, to take charge, the governor has turned it to a political stunt. A move which a source said Dr Faseluka described as unprocedural and an abuse of popular best practices in the civil service rules.

According to him, "It was not in tandem with the Civil Service rules and the process is against the popular best practices."
Dr. Faseluka also said that the request for the Permanent Voter's Card (PVC) of applicants was not in conformity with any extant civil service rules.

The governor was said to have vehemently disagreed with the Head of Service over his unsolicited advice and had made up his mind to go ahead with the exercise despite some oppositions. An inside source told News Alert that Faseluka has been issued a query for his alleged disloyalty to the governor.

However, a source quoted Faseluka as saying that except the governor wanted to aggravate the already bad situations, there was no way 2000 people could be added to the present workforce without following the due process.

In a separate interview with journalists in Ado Ekiti, the NLC Chairman, Comrade Ade Adesanmi said it was totally impossible for Mr. Governor to engage such a number of people when he was still owing workers between six and eight months salaries." He urged the governor not to play politics with the lives of innocent people who were desirous of being gainfully employed into the state civil service system. "You don't play politics with such sensitive issue. Mr. Governor should work his plan out very carefully by going through the normal best practices of engagement."

Adesanmi wondered why the governor would want to add more burden to the state civil service when he's yet to pay regularly those currently in the service.

"He is also owing pensioners, owing teachers, owing local government workers. Mr. Governor should think deeply about this move, it is more of politics than we may think."

This Monicker was strictly designed to carry out image tarnishing attacks at Fayose because of the upcoming Ekiti election. Well, its allowed, but l also know the Monicker will vanish immediately after APC meets their Waterloo there. Enjoy Fayemi's money while the calumny campaign lasts.

Lere Olayinka please come out and blame APC or Buhari for this news.... A form that contains Ward, Polling Unit, And PVC number is nothing but a way to get information needed for election Malpractice
