‘Let’s Have Some Peace’ – Fayose Responds After Governor Fayemi Said He Left N57B Unpaid Workers Salaries And Pension Arrears

Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi recently said that the workers in the state civil service were being owed N57billion as arrears of unpaid salaries and emoluments from the previous administration led by Ayo Fayose.

The governor said this at a meeting he had with the civil servants as well as a cross-section of labour leaders at the Government House, Ado- Ekiti saying his administration is making frantic efforts to defray the backlogs which he said would be done in phases.

Fayemi claimed the trend was caused by irregular payments of salaries and pensions by the immediate past administration of Ayodele Fayose.

He said the arrears covered outstanding salaries, pensions, promotion arrears, leave bonuses and other emoluments from 2014 till October 2018 when he assumed office. Reacting to the allegations,

Fayose took to Twitter to say,

‘I read without surprise and as usual Fayemi usual brandishing of figures owed Ekiti workers & retirees by my administration.

Without joining issues with him,rather than public service announcement, I enjoin him to pay the workers.

Moreso he was “voted” for to do what I couldn’t do.

I wish you well as you celebrate your one year anniversary in office hopefully with ‘visible projects’ that will speak for you tomorrow. Above all YE, I am not eligible to contest Ekiti Guber, so let’s have some peace’.
