Ekiti state governor Ayo Fayose had invited some local government
workers and primary school teachers to a meeting at the government house
on Thursday, 8th June, 2027. During the meeting, the governor explained
extensively the reasons for difficulty in salary payment, part of which
was the #1.2b that is being deducted on monthly basis sake of the debt
incurred by the Fayemi administration, the deductions will continue till
2035 or so.
It was time for the workers to react, so governor
Fayose called upon 5 teachers and 5 LG workers to react and make
suggestions, so as one of the teachers were coming out, her shoe got
spoilt, so she was limping. The governor saw that and asked one of his
aides to go to his apartment and bring the female foot-wears there.
Within
a twinkle of an eye, the foot-wears were at venue of the meeting, they
were two designer foot-wears, the governor checked if it was the woman’s
size but it wasn't, so Fayose decided to give her #20,000 to get a
footwear of her choice. People clapped in appreciation.
After the
meeting, the governor felt he should not go home with the foot-wears,
so he selected some young women to see if the foot-wears will be of
their size, two women were lucky as it was there size, they went home
with it. That was what happened. Against my brother's perception of what
transpired during the meeting, all these happened in a relaxed
atmosphere, the workers were relating one on one with the governor,
cracking jokes and feeling cool.
