Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said he
did not sack the All Progressives Congress governorship
candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, while the latter was the
Accountant-General of the state.
The Peoples Democratic Party had said Ambode was
sacked by Fashola for financial impropriety but Fashola
denied the allegation, saying it was part of the desperate
attempts by the PDP to win Saturday’s governorship
election.
Fashola said this in a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media, Mr. Hakeem Bello, on Saturday.
The statement read, “Governor Fashola has repudiated the
insinuation that the APC governorship candidate was
dismissed from the state’s civil service, describing it as
one of the many lies of the PDP aimed at deceiving voters
into voting for them.
“He explained that Mr. Ambode retired voluntarily from the
public service after 27 years of meritorious service to the
state, adding that he (governor) wrote him a letter of
commendation.”
Fashola urged the people of Lagos not to vote for the PDP
on Saturday as the PDP-led Federal Government had done
nothing to merit their votes.
He said the Federal Government still owed Lagos about
N51bn.
The statement added, “The governor noted that the PDP had
done nothing in the last 16 years but lie to Nigerians about
practically everything, including the state of the economy
and the security situation as well as other sensitive issues
that affect the lives of the people.
“Urging the people not to be deceived by such lies,
Governor Fashola pointed out that in the last 16 years, the
PDP-controlled Federal Government had ignored the state
in federal appointments and not only failed to maintain its
numerous infrastructure in the state but refused to pay back
to the state the money it (Lagos) has spent in maintaining
federal assets in the state including roads and bridges,
amounting to N51bn.”
The governor said the PDP governorship candidate, Mr.
Jimi Agbaje, was misleading civil servants on the issue of
leave allowance and minimum wage.
The statement recalled that the issue of minimum wage was
settled on February 7, 2011, when the state government
signed an agreement with the 14 approved labour unions in
the state civil service to pay N18, 780 to the lowest paid of
its workers.
The agreement, brokered by the then Commissioner for
Establishment and Training, Mr. Jide Sanwoolu, according
to the statement , increased the minimum wage of the
lowest paid worker in the employment of the government by
69.6 percent which is a 7.6 percent increase over the
Federal Government approved National Minimum Wage.
Fashola said his administration was not only the first to
implement the minimum wage structure but also added to
the N18,000 minimum wage across board, a gesture for
which the public servants commended the administration.

letter of
commendation.”
Good One From Fashola for debunking feedeefee and Just Kidding propaganda.
