You're confused. Not paying salary for six months is enough to vote him out. There wasn't any need to rig that election. And rigging is not easy at all nowadays.

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 hell

magoo10:
exactly ,I laugh at those who have quickly jumped to the conclusions that the failure was due to non payment of workers salaries when it was clear that riggings ,intimidation with federal might was the other of the day.

MrMystrO:
That was when they started trying to frustrate him. The man has been crying since last year until last month Oga. He never stopped Crying out

What is left from allocation and revenue after paying salaries and running the state is meagre so am sure he must have taken a risk to face some projects which he must have believe will be sorted by the incoming governor when he wins since the incoming knows the story. The real opportunity cost for putting a bit of infastructure in the state is the salaries of workers stopped for awhile which is the alternative forgone. Its not like the Feds and him were in good terms

On the other hand, ofcourse Fayemi who has strong alliance with Federal will get succor from daddy buhari to immediately cushion that however it wont make things easier in ekiti. I just things wont go well, not that i wish them bad but i dont see grace in this chapter of ekiti politics.

Iamgrey5:
But he hasn't cried this year now

Didn't he receive bailout funds?

The letter you posted was dated 7th of February for January allocations, which is basically just few days into the new month.

Thus,the federal government can't delay eight months allocations of Ekiti state without it making major headlines.

Fayose has denied the salaries of civil servants for 7months

Josskute:
Are you saying with all sincerity that you would vote for a candidate owning you salaries for the whole of this year just because he is a PDP candidate and APC are devils?

miiraaj:
Bookmarked. Will return after six months for assessment.

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

Josskute:
how about the two bail out funds which I remember buhari specifically told the Governors it was for salary arrears? did he come out to say he didn't receive it or was it used for 'infrastructural development'

magoo10:
what am trying to say is that the election was more of a pay back with federal might and rigging .

Iamgrey5:
Where is the official complain?

Besides he said delay not that they didn't pay him in the whole period he refused to pay his workers..

So when he received the funds, what exactly has he done with them.

MrMystrO:
I'm Not his P. A. anyway so I don't speak for him, I could even care less about what happened with the election. My point is I just don't buy the idea that Fayose withheld or embezzled 7months State salary money for the sake of Embezzlement knowing fully well that Election is just around the corner and also knowing that Ekiti Depends on the APC Federal Government for their Allocation, I just don't buy it. That's for people with Mediocre Political Knowledge, Not Me.

Iamgrey5:
You claim you are not his pA or spokesman, but you are performing the job of his attorney, defending his non payment of salaries without much knowledge of the state financial position

You see how you have confused yourself

hush15:
He did use it to pay salary arrears. Infact, he paid teachers salaries and outstandings and the nees of what he did was on this platform . That was the first two years now. Its not like has been owing for more than a year. I dont celebrate owing but he can keep paying and nothing new happens in the state or do something new and bear the burden of paying for sometime.

Even Fayemi knows this, the only thing going for him is his federal affluence to always get bailout funds

Josskute:
I agree with you on that, but don't you think the federal might was effective because the people were hungry and exhaused? Why Wasn't Lagos reclaimed when GEJ was in power with all the federal might and rigging?

Man wey sabi!
The fountain of knowledge indigenes NEVER made a mistake in voting in this great Economist.

HungerBAD:
Good.

Ekiti made the right choice voting for Fayemi.

End of discussion.

Josskute:
To me bros, paying of salaries when due is more important than any other agenda. Many of these families have just the Fathers working and that translates to feeding, children school fees and welfare. I once stayed in kogi state and I saw first hand what non payment of salaries does to families. Its Horrific bro, believe me.

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

Kewtt:
This is one of the most intelligent threads in the politics section of nairaland....so far

hush15:
No i disagree with you. There has to be a balance. Also, dont forget Fayose faced challenges with the FG in terms of allocation. Sometime last year or the year before, he had to go to abuja to see Adeosun before he could get his allocation. Another truth is he ia being denied allocations recently because of elections.

I understand your point but when its not enough, its not enough, there is no two story about that and ekiti needs to break that rat race cycle in other to grow.

While the results is being keenly contested and everything unfolds, lets see how Fayemi goes. I can assure you, promise would be broken....
