The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has expressed shock over Governor Ayodele Fayose’s media chat statement that Ekiti State workers should forget their September salary on the grounds that it was former Governor Kayode Fayemi who owed them.
The party also reacted to Fayose’s aide, Lere Olayinka, who said former Governor Fayemi lied on his claim that the debt profile of the state and projects execution during his administration had put Ekiti State ahead of its peers in the country.
The Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Taiwo Olatunbosun, described Fayose’s refusal to pay workers’ salaries as wicked, and insensitive, coming from a governor to workers who are the engine room of government policy and programmes. He said records would show Ekiti people the debts profile of Ekiti State during Fayemi’s administration, adding that the experience of Ekiti people in Fayose’s tenure during Christmas would convince the people who is a liar between the two leaders.
