A pro-Segun Oni Campaign Organisation group, Ekiti Build Back Better (EBBB), has challenged the Ekiti State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) chairman, Mr Joshua Olatunde Kolapo, to explain to the Ekiti people what the workers have benefitted from the John Kayode Fayemi-led administration in the state, wondering what made him pledge the support of the workers for the election of Biodun Oyebanji, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the Saturday, June 18, governorship election.
The NLC boss had, on Thursday, April 7, at a programme organised to shore up the image of the APC candidate, said Ekiti workers were grateful to Governor Kayode Fayemi and would in return vote for Oyebanji to win the election.
According to a press statement issued by the spokesman of EBBB, Idowu Adelusi, in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, on Friday, Kolapo was asked to be bold enough to list the gains of the Fayemi-led administration to the workers since October 16, 2018, when the APC government came into being.
Adelusi asked: ‘Is it the sack of 2,000 workers employed into the civil service in 2018 or the sack of 400 workers employed in the civil, teaching and local government services in 2016, out of which less than one-third was reinstated eight months after?
‘Or are we talking about the 700 staff of Ekiti State University (EKSU) employed in 2016 and sacked by the university on the instruction of the Fayemi-led government?
