Why Fayose Must Resign – APC

The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for Governor Ayodele Fayose’s resignation, describing him as an “unserious leader not prepared for the challenges of governance”.

APC made this call while reacting to Fayose’s statement on Saturday, June 4, that he had joined the ongoing labour strike in the state in solidarity with the workers.

“Fayose’s self-imposed strike could not have been in solidarity with Ekiti workers, but a mockery of their present suffering caused by him and which he obviously enjoys.

“Fayose’s lies, inhuman and reckless statement on television that he cannot sell his children to pay salary is an acceptance of failure, so he should resign from that position”, APC said in a statement issued by its state Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun.

The statement further reads: “There is starvation in the state over failure to pay salary, which has made workers’ conditions so bad that some of them have resorted to stealing from neighbours before they can eat.

“Thieves are all over the place carting away foods in the process of cooking in the kitchen, while raw foods and soup ingredients, such as yams, garri, tomatoes, pepper, parcels of ‘eba’ are being stolen by hungry Ekiti people.

“How many Ekiti workers can afford to send their children to any of the secondary schools in Ekiti which Fayose has heavily taxed, let alone sending them to the highbrow schools that Fayose’s children attend abroad? This is very wicked and inhuman.”
