It was reported that the governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose had promised to reward every youth, between 18 and 21 years, who register newly with N2,000.
Security operatives at the gate of the commission had a hectic time controlling the youth, who appeared in a hurry to get the PVC.
Even the repeated appeals by the Administrative Secretary of the commission in Ekiti, Dr.Muslim Moleke, that the exercise was continuous could not calm the youth who almost pulled down the commission's gate.
Some of the youths who spoke with Dailytrust newspaper at the INEC office, Ado local government, said they were at the commission to collect the card and afterwards collect the reward.
The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, told journalists that the governor only promised a reward of N2,000 per month to the youths in such category till June next year when the governorship election would be conducted in the state.

The same foolish gov who questioned N5,000 unemployment pay is now paying N2k. I dey laugh ooo, yet he cannot pay salaries
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 4:48 You better laugh and stop insulting. If care is not taken Fayose should be older than you perhaps old enough to be your father. Do you really think #5000 stipend is the sure solution to Nigeria youths and how long do you think Buhari can keep to it monthly and yearly? So what's not possible shouldn't be promised. If Fayose decide to give #2000 to youth who register newly is a nice way to encourage them to register and own a registration and identity card. To be it's an act of encouraging them and not payment for unemployment. What we should be telling him is to use these means to know the jobless youths in the state and decide on what to do in terms of employment and well being of the youths.
DeleteHe must be paying them to vote for him in the coming guber elections
