Gov. Fayemi insists on sack as dismissed workers protest in Ekiti
The protesters were the 568 primary and secondary school teachers employed by Governor Ayodele Fayose among the 2,000 employed after the July 14, 2018 election in the state.
But addressing newsmen on the contentious issue, the spokesman of the sacked workers, Mr. Olawole Ganiyu said contrary to the pronouncement made by the state government, they were employed legally and that their appointments were in line with the civil service rule. “Government must be passionate. We were born and brought up here in Ekiti. Most of us have relocated to our schools and worked hard. Some of us even resigned from our previous places of work to take up these appointments.”
” We have to clarify that we were not sponsored by politicians. We have no godfathers and government should be a continuum. Why are we being treated this way? It was shocking that they said we didn’t pass through due process. However, a release signed by Governor Fayemi’s Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, said the governor did not sack anyone, saying one cannot sack people not duly employed in the first place.
