Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has dissociated himself from calls by some state governors that the salaries of public servants be reduced or that there should be massive retrenchment in the public sector.

Instead of reducing salaries and sacking workers, Fayose admonished the state governors to reduce the affluence they enjoy in office and put an end to wastages.

According to a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Friday by the Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor said this during the Agenda for the Treasury Board meeting held as part of preparation of the state's 2016 budget.

"Today most newspapers carried the story about call by some state governors that the minimum wage of N18,000 be reduced or that there should be massive retrenchment of workers in the public service. They are on their own and I take exemption to that. The minimum wage is even not enough.


"Reduction of wages or retrenchment of workers won't happen in Ekiti State. Instead of those anti-labour and anti-people policies, the governors should cut down on their travels and tours and cut down minimum wives and children and their affluence. Let the governors cut their coats according to their sizes."

Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and governor of Zamfara state had on Thursday told newsmen inn Abuja that the current low prices in oil prices was making the payment of N18, 000 minimum wage impossible for state governments.

He said it would either be reviewed downward or workers would face sack.

This guy is the best performing governor in Nigeria. He has commissioned fish in the market, cut meat in the kitchen, give Motorcycle to a cripple e.t.c All hail Fayose!

I always rate these man the best governor! He's so mouthed and always dwell in the path of truth!

You can't help loving this man for his doggedness

PDP government will never be party to the minimum wage reduction initiated by the APC government in order to further impoverish the masses after denying promising the youth 5k and daily meal for school kids

Instead of reducing workers salary, Buhari's should cut down the expenditures incurred in his unending oversea trips and give the money to some failed states like Osun for sustenance

Osun workers have not done any wrong by finding themselves in the claws of the bearded masqurade and shall not be buried with empty stomach

Yea!



There's sense in every nonsense

Only if this could be implemented and come to live.. We would be better of. APC govs take note.

Governor Oshiomole also "dissociated" himself from their plans to further "impoverish" Nigerian workers!

Now Governor Fayose is also "backing-out" from that "demonic" plan!

Even the devil himself would NOT pay an amount as low as 18,000 minimum wage!

That Zamfara state governor and "NGF armed robber" should be stoned to death!

Everyone can now clearly see the "demonic beasts" piloting the affairs of this country!

What a shame!!!!

Good

not at all. We all knw dat he is a man of action. Was just admiring his choice of words by saying he is so mouthed

Brilliant response from Fayose
Hate him or like him, you cannot ignore this man.
I daresay in addition, only a sadist will take exception to this statement. How can you cut down on something already so small, its like dividing O.
Some of these governors advocating this cut down of minimum wages have two to three wives, mistresses and their children live like prince and princess.
We need a body count of governors who are advocating this nonsense. They are also the types that will want to go to Senate after their tenures as Governors.

Thumbs up to Fayose and Oshiomole on this.
Shame on Yari, governor of Zamfara and his fellow rogues.
Last bullet-

My comments above is the type Saraki led Senate want to muzzle, so Nigerians don't know the truth. Once the public hearing begins we should all March to Senate like the Yaradua saga. Shameless politicians; Saraki and Ibn Nalla and all supporters of this bill.

Fayose is eight months pregnant with foolishness, when he finally delivers, Ekiti might be thrown into total chaos.

What does he mean by cutting "minimum wives"?? I think the dolt meant to say "maximum wives" cos the minimum wife anyone could have is ONE and anything less than One Human Being is either a dead human or a vegetable.

Ekiti people don suffer walahi.

What is brilliant about saying one should cut down on "minimum wives" Isn't this utter stupidity

No..it's not.
They should cut down to one wife and not marry wives and mistresses. There are other ways of saving money than cutting down minimum wage.
The statement is laced with many meaning so don't blame Me or Fayose if you cannot understand this.
It' goes beyond LITERAL Interpretation

lol, this fayose sef

Governors should shred some of their exorbitant lifestyles.
