Kayode Fayemi, candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) in the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti
state, says he increased teachers’ salaries when he was in power but Ayodele
Fayose, his s
Fayemi, who was governor of the state between 2010 and 2014, and now flying with the mantra “reclaiming our land, restoring our values” said this in Ido Ekiti local government area on Thursday.
He told the people to disregard
reports that he would sack teachers and local government workers, as being
peddled by the ruling party in the state.
“Throughout my four years, how
many teachers did I sack? Instead of sacking teachers, I increased their
salaries three times within four years while I also paid core subjects and
rural posting allowances to teachers to encourage them to deliver and live
happily with their families unlike the current situation where teachers are
being owed between six and 10 months while pensioners have not received their
entitlements for close to a year,” he said.
“While we can point to many
projects we did while in government between 2010 and 2014 to make life bearable
for our people, PDP administration led by Fayose can’t point to any project in
any town except tales of woes by our people on salary payment defaults,
students paying fees for WEAC, NECO other public examinations, which we fully
paid for, including scholarships.”
Fayemi promised that the local
council development areas cancelled by Fayose would return so government could
be brought closer to the people.
Olusola Kolapo, candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who enjoys the support of Fayose, is Fayemi’s major
contender in the election.
