Teachers in Ekiti State on Thursday said they
had no regret voting against ex-Governor
Kayode Fayemi in the June 21, 2014
governorship election in the State.
The teachers who spoke through their umbrella
body, the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Ekiti
chapter, said they voted against Fayemi for
introducing anti-teachers policies.
The union was reacting to a programme
anchored on Adaba FM, an Akure, Ondo State
based Radio Station, where some teachers were
said to have phoned Fayemi, who featured in a
live programme and apologised to him on
behalf of others, having compared his
administration with the present one.
The NUT Chairman, Comrade Samuel Akosile, in
a statement on Thursday described those who
rendered the apologies as Fayemi’s apologists
and not members of the Union.
He advised the former governor to refrain from
dragging the body into politics, saying, “In as
much as we do not want to be dragged into
politics because we are civil servants and
unionists, we feel constrained to ask Governor
Fayemi and his apologists that: who deserves
apology, Fayemi or Ekiti teachers in this
matter?.
“Do we need to apologise for refusing to sit for
an examination that was meant to retrench us?
Do we need to apologise for going on strike for
demanding for our rights for the payment of
27.5%? Do we need to apologise for standing
up as a union to oppose policies that are
inimical to educational development and
teachers’ welfare?.”
Akosile described the statement credited to All
Progressives Congress commending the
teachers for showing remorse and tendering
apologies as
uncalled for.
He said his members had no regret for voting
Fayose as the validly elected governor during
the governorship poll, urging the APC to stop
orchestrating fake individuals to act like his
members in a manner that could ridicule the
body.
He asked, “What has Fayose done to teachers
in less than three months into his
administration that calls for regret?
“From what happened before and during the
governorship election, we think the last
administration should realise that this kind of
media intrigue and shenanigan has no effect on
Ekiti people.
“Ekiti teachers have more than enough reasons
to vote Fayemi out of government and we can
never regret it,” Akosile added.

How does sitting for an examination lead to retrenchment? Except of course the teachers wrote their WAEC at "special centres" and cannot defend their qualifications.

They might have heard something about the exam now. You know it is possible for government to manipulate result to its favour

Phobia of fayemi's assessment exam came after some local govt officials were demoted and some retired after sitting for promotional exam. This happened shortly after fayemi inauguration. Teachers were d second category to sit for exam and they resisted so as not to be given d same treatment.

Were they wrongfully demoted or retired? Were there any accusations or allegations about improper conduct of the examination or results?
Honest question ni o

The civil service, whether state or federal, is full of people with questionable qualifications.

Another APC lies and propaganda busted. Tinubu and Ekiti state APC are fighting a lost cause

Many of them are not qualified to teach even goats. If they had written that test it would have opened a huge can of worms like the one of Edo state where a school teacher could not read a simple sentence.
