APC fumes over Fayose attack, tells workers not to be decieved after Fayose disgraced its presidential candidate asking him to quit the presidential race

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has warned workers in the state not to be deceived by Governor Ayodele Fayose’s claims of gloomy financial position of the state.

The party said the governor had been laying claims of poor financial state “to deceive and deny workers of their entitlements.”
APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, in a statement on Monday said the advice became imperative because Fayose had been using over-bloated debt figures as alibi for the government’s failure to pay salary and other obligations to workers.
Olatubosun said monies saved from hundreds of Ekiti workers sacked and the bond debts payment suspended for six months as well as several promotions that were reversed and cancellation of empowerment schemes should have been enough to pay workers entitlements, particularly as allocations payment was regular.
“It is good that Ekiti people know the kind of governor they have. In one breath, he said he spends N1.4b to pay salary monthly. The next minute, he said it is N1.6b in the same broadcast‎, which gave him away, as usual, as a man playing games with the lives of Ekiti people. All these mathematical gymnastics are callous demonstration of breach of faith in government and the governed relations,” he said, adding:
“What is the governor doing with full monthly federal allocation to the state when the bond debt repayment has been suspended for six months? 300 members of Traffic Management Agency have been sent packing. 800 members of Volunteer Peace Corps have been relieved of their jobs.‎
“Social Security scheme for 20,000 old people receiving N5000 every month each has been cancelled. This is apart from the over 20,000 Youth Volunteers earning N10,000 monthly who have also been disengaged by Fayose.
“Many of the youths who were trained in various skills under the Fayemi administration by Odua Skills Acquisition Centre have been abandoned by Fayose while the programme has been replaced with a pedestrian concept of stomach infrastructure.
“‎Teachers’ special allowances for rural postings and core subjects have been abolished while workers, including primary and secondary school teachers, who were promoted since April last year, had their promotions reversed.
“The security agencies are no longer well-funded, leading to the current armed robbery cases across the state. Streetlights are turned off at 10.00 pm on the excuse of the cost of fuel, thus ‎paralyzing night life and causing insecurity as well as putting in jeopardy late night business activities in the state capital,” he added.
Fayose Bomb

Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) no longer have the moral right to participate in the forthcoming polls having lied to Nigerians on several occasions.

Fayose therefore urged Buhari and his party to withdraw from the race.

The Governor said this in a press statement issued on Monday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.

The Governor noted with dismay the contemptuous manner in which the APC and Buhari hold Nigeria and its people.

The governor, who vowed that Nigeria will never be ruled by deceit, said; “In saner climes, you can’t lie and be discovered to have lied repeatedly as done by the APC and still want to stand for elections.”

He said; “The new deceit from the APC is to use a photoshopped picture of Buhari for posters in Lagos, making him look like a 50 year old man, whereas he is as old as my mother and cannot survive the rigours of office even as a governor not to talk of President of Nigeria.”

He noted that it was appalling that despite being found to have lied on several occasions, the APC has never deemed it necessary to apologise to Nigerians for trying to deceive them. 

“First, the APC Vice Presidential candidate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, a supposed pastor posted picture of Reinhard Bonke crusade on his Twitter Handle, claiming that the picture was that of APC campaign rally in Kano.

“Second, the APC claimed that Buhari made a surprise visit to Chibok and went further to lie that the people and parents of Chibok girls were filled with hope and joy upon sighting Buhari and his entourage, and escorted him into Chibok with singing and dancing. 

“Third, the APC cabal claimed that Buhari travelled to the United Kingdom on a working visit and used fake pictures to back up their lies that Buhari met with ex-British Prime minister, Tony Blair and had a television interview in London.

“Even when Buhari’s wife admitted that her husband was in the UK to rest, the APC cabal went on with their lies, using pictures taken in Transcorp Hilton, Abuja as proof of Buhari’s activities in London.

“If a party and its candidate could lie so brazenly as done by the APC and Buhari, do they still have moral rights to want to rule Nigeria?

 “God forbid, can Buhari and his APC cabals that are not truthful about their existence as human beings be trusted to be truthful to Nigerians if they take over power?
