Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has
embarked on an indefinite strike in solidarity
with public workers in the state who are on
strike over unpaid five months salaries.
The governor made the declaration in Ado Ekiti
in a broadcast on the state owned television in
Ekiti State.
In the broadcast, the governor disclosed that
he had paid the January salary of local
government workers, primary school teachers
and subventions to tertiary institutions in the
state.
Public workers had on May 26 began an
industrial action to press home for the
payment of their salaries.
Labour unions also shunned a meeting called
by the state government, citing insecurity of
their lives and properties owing to an anti-
workers protest by drivers unions in the state.
They were also irked by Fayose’s statement
that he won’t sell his family to pay workers.
The governor in the broadcast said he had
been truthful in what he declared as the
internally generated revenue and the N2.6b
workers’ wage bill.
Fayose said, “I want to tell workers that I have
placed myself on indefinite strike in solidarity
with you. I share your pains, but it was rather
unfortunate that a man can’t give what he
doesn’t have.
“I have told you the true position of the
finances of the state, of which you had played
critical roles in allocation of federal allocations
to relevant sectors which shows how well I had
carried you along since the dwindling revenue
to the state commenced.
“During my first term, I mean, 2003 to 2006, I
used to pay salary of workers by 21st of every
month. But the present situation is very
unfortunate and we have to learn how to live
with it until the country wriggle out of it and
things will change for better.
“I want to say that I will be expecting you back
to your offices when you are ready to return to
work. I shall be expecting you, because
presently I am handicapped and there is
nothing I can do.
“But before then, I have placed myself on
indefinite strike in solidarity with your course.
But I appeal that you put the interest of the
state above everything, because the present
position affects everybody,” Fayose said. Source: www.punchng.com/fayose-declares-solidarity-strike-workers/

Such a lousy tout! The embittered Ugandans would be nowhere to be found now. Hadn't been this was about Buhari, they would have deployed themselves and joyfully invade this thread to call him some unprintable names. Shame on you guys! |
