Former Minister of State for Works Prince Dayo Adeyeye has tasked Governor Ayo Fayose to explain the source of the cash being given to teachers and civil servants to get their votes for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola.
Adeyeye said it was wrong, ungodly and immoral for a governor to be sharing money to teachers and other civil servants who are owed between six and nine months salary arrears in a bid to curry their votes for his anointed candidate.
In a statement yesterday by Director of Media and Publicity, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye Movement (PAAM), Niyi Ojo, the ex-minister wondered why Fayose, who has been complaining of paucity of funds, now turned to “Santa Claus”, distributing cash and other gifts to woo workers.
Adeyeye said: “The teachers have been asking some of us elders in the state, to help them ask the governor, how and when he suddenly come in possession of such huge sum of money, which he is now distributing to them.
“They said he has been distributing rice and chicken in large sizes too, just as it is his style in the past to ask them to vote for his anointed candidate in next month’s election.”
The former PDP governorship aspirant, also wondered why the governor would still want to employ the same tricks he used in 2014, before he became governor to continually, deceive the teachers in the state.
Adeyeye said further: “I have said severally, in the past that Governor Fayose does not mean well for the people of the state and that he really believes that the people are stupid. If not, how does one explain this latest scam of his?
“He actually believes that the teachers and Ekiti people will be taken in by his latest scam. However, we thank God that the Ekiti teachers themselves, have seen through his latest gimmicks and have decided to ditch him at the polls on July 14. They said that they are not fools and that they would make a bold statement on election day.
“Our governor sees everybody as a fool, especially Ekiti workers and people, who he has no atom of respect for.
You can fool some of the people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.
“His time is up and the people would reject him and his proxy, through who, he is planning to serve his third term agenda, at the polls to teach him a lesson, he won’t forget in a hurry.”
