Ekiti workers’ group berates Fayose over outburst on Buhari

An interest group in Ekiti State Civil Service, the Enlightened Workers’ Forum (EWF) has criticized Governor Ayo Fayose for his outbursts on a radio programme, where he attacked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the recent seizure of his assets.

The workers said they are in full support the anti-corruption agenda of the Buhari administration and the efforts of the anti-graft agency to ensure that the commonwealth of Ekiti people and assets purchased with arms slush funds are recovered.

They called on Fayose to pay the remaining arrears of workers’ salaries and all entitlements due to pensioners “majority of whom are dying at home because they have been neglected by the state government and denied their rights.”

In a statement issued on Friday by EWF Coordinator, Mike Bamidele, the workers dissociated Ekiti people from the anti-Buhari utterances of Fayose made on a live programme on an Ibadan, Oyo State-based radio station, Fresh FM, which was relayed on the state-owned electronic media.
