LG workers endorse Fayemi Governor Kayode Fayemi was yesterday endorsed for a second term by the local government workers. The local government workers who spoke through their representatives during an interactive forum held at the NULGE Secretariat in Ado Ekiti, stated that they knew Fayemi as a promise keeper, who had remained true to all the promises he made to them during the 2007 electioneering and in the various meetings the workers have had with him since his assuming office in 2010. Speaking at the forum, Mr Itadare Leke said the council workers are desirous of continuous partnership with the Governor beyond 2014 because Fayemi cannot reverse many of the good welfare packages he has provided for the workers when he is re-elected. While explaining that the reforms made by Fayemi in the local government system were painful at the initial stage, Itadare said the reforms have now paid off with the Fayemi-led government lifting many bars that have hindered the council workers from having career progression. He stated that the council workers have resolved to adopt Fayemi as their candidate. He said: “We are desirous of staying with you. We know that Kayode Fayemi will never say what he will not do. We know he will not reverse the various policies he has put in place- The appointments of Administrative Secretaries , cancellation of the of bar for officers on level 16 to progress to level 17; readmission of sacked workers and over seas training opportunities are some of the things we have benefitted under Fayemi. We are convinced these will continue when he is re-elected. Any other candidate who have come here to talk to us may end up deceiving us. “Mr Governor I don’t want you to see it as a slight that I did not refer to you as governor, but as our candidate. We have adopted you. When you came on board, you did some reforms. At first, it was painful but right now, it is paying off. People have said a lot of things you have done for us and we want the good works to continue”.
