The winner of the Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said that he will pay the backlog of salaries owed civil servants in the state within the first six months of his return to office.

Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress beat Kolapo Olusola of the Peoples Democratic Party in a keenly contested race to succeed the incumbent Governor Ayodele Fayose.


Speaking at his residence in Isan-Ekiti, the former Minister of Solid Mineral Development, said Ekiti State lost value under Fayose, while also promising to re-introduce free education in the state.

He said, “Ekiti people should expect the eight-point agenda redoubled. They should expect the backlog of salaries cleared within the first six months of my coming to the office. They should expect re-introduction of free education, including payment of fees for the West Africa Examination Council, National Examination Council, National Business and Technical Examinations Board and the national entrance examination into tertiary institutions which they lost out on.


“We will re-introduce social security scheme for the elderly in an enhanced manner. They should expect the return of our youth volunteer programme. Luckily, the Federal Government has started a programme similar to what we used to have in Ekiti State, called N-Power. We will add our own initiative to that programme.

“The outgoing government is not interested in what happens to the young in our society beyond using them as thugs and forcing them to eat crumbs from the table of the master. They should expect a return to decency, decorum, integrity, values in Ekiti State. It is about reclaiming our land and restoring our values which we have lost in the past four years.”

Meanwhile, an APC chieftain, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has congratulated Fayemi on his victory at the poll.

According to the former Minister of State for Works, Fayemi’s victory will change the leadership style in the state, stressing that the people of Ekiti deserved mature leaders who value development of state’s human and natural resources.

This is highly COMMENDABLE.
They should make sure the tout of an ex-governor vomited EVERYTHING he embezzled ASAP.

Fayose didn't try at all, but that's not a enough reason why Satanic Apc should rig ekiti election.

BeeBeeOoh:
But, what happened to Ekiti state allocation all these years? I mean, do Fayose normally throw it into the deep ocean that made him not to pay salaries for over time??



Nigeria's politicians will all be thrown into the hottest part of herr

greatiyk4u:
This is visionary promises from an anticipated great leader,.............


Even if na lie, it is a well packaged lie not going round cutting ponmo and inviting an ex-president for the commissioning of a mere fly over in this century


Some fly over in Enugu here are as old as Fayose

qualityGod:
No government that is owing workers salary and you think you can win I'm not a politician but anambra paid salary well infact two days to election every civil servants was recieving alerts and even leave arrears that was why Anambra governor won ,fayose don't have good advisers,,you want to win and feed fat and come up with more excuses then owe 10months salaries again right ? Faac was inconclusive because I know last month federal allocation would have been used but it was held ,next time be smart

He was busy building bridges

I am not a politician but I will vote buhari if he can increase workers welfare,and create more employment

You can't play politics with an ex General that pass through WAR COLLEGE


Is too late to cry when the head is off

And what fayose did to Mr uba during pdp primary in anambra governorship election he should have a taste of it to know how it feels

EternalTruths:



That is why Fayose lost the election.

Imagine owing salaries for months and he expects the civil servants to vote for him.

Who votes on a hungry stomach

BeeBeeOoh:
Not only Fayose, Nigeria's politicians(governors) at large. I still remember that Ortom once said that he wasn't voted in to pay salaries, Chinwoke Mbadinuju once called pensioners "dead word" and Okorocha also told pensioners to forfeit 40% of their pension some time ago. So you see, Fayose is not alone. But, Fayose was the architect of his own problems

Johnnyessence:
but at least fayose is the first governor to built flyover.

In a free and fair election, Okezie of Abia State will lose election because of salaries.


If APC ensure that no electoral irregularities in Abia State, APC will defeat PDP because of Okezie non payment of salaries.
