SEE the 1965 Benz Governor Fayose used for his Inauguration

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State is one unique man, no wonder my people in Ekiti always follow him, no matter what. I hear the governor turned the Government House that used to be a no-go-area for the ordinary people in Ekiti into an all comer home and the youths enjoyed themselves in the pool. Lol!

And the pic above is the special 1965 BENZ official car used in his swearing in ceremony on Thursday.

Meanwhile, The Workers in Ekiti State have Read the Riot Act to Governor Fayose

According to Punch, workers in Ekiti have read the riot act to their new governor, Ayodele Fayose, asking him to desist from actions that would further plunge the state into debt.

The workers warned Fayose against borrowing money to pay salaries, asking him to focus on issues that would enhance the development of the state. They also asked the governor to make workers’ welfare one of his administration’s priorities.

The workers, represented by Chairman, Trade Union Congress in the state, Mr. Kola Olaiya, and Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress in the state, Mr. Ayo Aluko, told Punch that Fayose would receive the support of relevant stakeholders if he tailored his administration’s priority towards issues that would engender the development of the state.

The union leaders said if he would borrow money at all, the money should be spent on viable projects that would generate income for the state.

Olaiya of TUC said, “One thing that can stand the governor out is for him to focus on the welfare of workers because when workers are paid as and when due, the problem of the informal sector will be solved as market women and the artisans will get money to trade. The new governor should not borrow money to pay the workers in his bid to please them.”

On his part, Olaiya of NLC said, “One thing I am sure of is that there are issues on ground that the new governor will look into. We are battling with salary arrears, deductions and other welfare packages. I believe those are the areas the governor will look into. It is now his prerogative to find what it takes to move the state forward.”

On the performance of former Governor Kayode Fayemi, Aluko said, “One thing I know is that one can only try his best. Former governor Kayode Fayemi tried his best. He increased workers’ salaries from N13,000 to N19,000, but now we have salary arrears. But in all, he did his best.”
