Ekiti: Sack awaits post-election appointments 'PDP 'They're free to do what they like 'govt

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has said that the Ayo Fayose led-government expected to take over on October 16 and to be headed by Mr Ay Fayose, will not recognise all appointments and recruitments made by the Governor Kayode Fayemi-led administration, after the June 21 governorship election in the state.The PDP, in a statement made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti, on Thursday, said that: 'the Fayemi administration has acted callously and primitively, as no responsible outgoing government will put land mines in the way of its successor through frivolous recruitments and booby elevation to its topmost positions a few weeks to the handover.'In the statement signed by its publicity secretary, Pastor Kola Oluwawole, the party also claimed that it had 'records of staff strength in the state public service before June 21 poll and was following the bogus appointments and illegal recruitment being done in various sectors afterwards.'He said: 'We know what the staff strength in the core civil service, the teaching service, the local government, the House of Assembly, the Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State (BSES) and others was before the June 21 governorship election in which our party thoroughly trounced Fayemi and his All Progressives Congress (APC).'We also know how the Fayemi administration has illegally recruited over 3,000 into the civil service, 1,000 into Ekiti State University, over 100 into BSES, over 1,500 into the teaching service, among others, after they lost the election and how they are clever by half by backdating the letters of appointment.'But the state government, in a reaction, said it was still in power till October 16 and would 'not listen to distractions by the PDP that isn't circumspect as it prepares to come into government.'The state Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mr Tayo Ekundayo, who reacted to the development, said 'we will continue to recruit to fill all vacancies because we are in government till October 16,' and added that 'if the PDP likes, let them sack them when they get to power.'The PDP had claimed in the statement that: 'It is pertinent to note here that there is no civil servant in the state that does not understand the magnitude of the debt that the state has incurred under the outgoing government and the implications on the economy of the state and the state's finances.'Inasmuch as the incoming PDP government led by the Governor-Elect, Dr Ayo Fayose, takes the welfare of the people of Ekiti State as a priority, we strongly condemn the divisive and destructive shenanigans being dangerously displayed by the outgoing administration.
