Sacked 180 Ekiti state House of Assembly workers got attentoion of Ekiti APC condemns

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State has condemned the sack of 180 workers in Ekiti State House of Assembly by the management of the assembly

180 workers of the assembly who were wrongly recruited by the last administration had their letters of appointment terminated on Wednesday

Reacting to the development in Ado Ekiti yesterday, the Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun,in a statement condemned the decision, saying, “Fayose who claimed to be workers friendly could resort to sacking the same workers.

“It is becoming clearer by the day that Governor Fayose had conned Ekiti workers into believing that he is their friend only to start making life miserable for them after securing their support.”

Olatubosun noted that the affected staff were duly employed by the House of Assembly Service Commission with statutory approval since April 2014 with their conditions of service clearly stated, wondering how such workers could be summarily sacked by announcement immediately after the New Year interdenominational service without following civil service rules.

He said Olugbemi did not have such powers to sack employees of the House of Assembly Service

Olugbemi warns Omirin

Meantime, the factional Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon. Dele Olugbemi, has cautioned the embattled speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin against dragging members of the National Assembly into committing contempt of court by requesting their intervention in the crisis that is currently rocking the assembly

Omirin had told newsmen at his Aisegba country home Wednesday that all the PDP lawmakers in the assembly have sought the intervention of the members of the House of Representatives on the crisis in the assembly

Olugbemi said it was too late for the APC to look for alternative mode of solving the problem created by them ,since they are presently in court over the same issue
