Ekiti State Governor-elect, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has faulted the appointment of eight new permanent secretaries by the outgoing administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi, accusing the governor of playing politics with issues that have dire consequences on the welfare of the state.
Fayose, in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti yesterday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said recent actions by Fayemi showed that he was desperate and playing politics of vendetta and putting stumbling blocks in the way of the incoming administration.
His words: “As much as we are not opposed to people progressing in their chosen careers, one finds the recent appointments questionable. The questions the people of the state should help ask Fayemi include which ministries the new permanent secretaries will be attached? Will two permanent secretaries man a ministry? Are there vacancies that the new permanent secretaries will fill?
“It is very ridiculous for Fayemi, who has less than two weeks to leave office, to appoint permanent secretary for the incoming administration. It shows how evil the All Progressives Congress (APC) is.
“In the last four months, the outgoing government has created 19 new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), employed 3,000 workers without following due process and right now backlog of salaries of workers are yet to be paid and workers are currently on strike.
“It is evidence that Fayemi does not love Ekiti State. His activities are not statesmanlike and honourable.”
Nigerians should now know that his activities are to put stumbling blocks on the path of the incoming government.”
Adelusi wondered why all these activities were taking place in the twilight of Fayemi’s departure from office, adding that the incoming government would review most of the policies taken in the twilight of Fayemi’s government.
