Lagos State PDP promises to Treat Lagos state Workers well if Elected
The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has refuted circulating rumours that its governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje, plans to sack the state workers if elected as governor of the state.
The party alleged that Agbaje will rather sack the All Progressives Congress as Governor Fayose of Ekiti state did, and employ more workers and improve their welfare to international standard.
The party’s publicity secretary, Gani Taofik, released a statement, saying: “For sake of clarity, Fayose sacked APC in Ekiti and not workers. Fayose has infact employed workers in Ekiti and with better renumeration than did Fayemi. The workers now under probation in Ekiti were hurriedly employed by Fayemi to burden Fayose.
”Very many are not even with employment letters. Fayose is screening them and we can assure you that the qualified workers will continue in office and others redeployed to proper offices.
”Interestingly, in Lagos even Ambode is planning to declare emergency in employment drive by inaugurating employment trust fund, an admission of inadequacy in that expectation. This is an indictment on APC in Lagos.
“The APC has failed Lagos workers and already jittery of the resolve of lagos workers to reject the party in February election. The APC is aware of plans by Agbaje to improve the welfare of Lagos workers.
”The LAWMA sweepers will not only be used as adverts on the roads but paid handsomely. The LASTMA staff will be sent on periodic trainings in Europe and America, All Lagos Civil servants shall enjoy all bonuses hitherto suspended. APC knows the realisable plans will be unfolded at our rallies.
”They have thus resorted to mudslinging and falsehood. On the contrary, it is even Ambode that initiated the current obnoxious salary scale in the lagos Civil service. Agbaje will correct this as well as lift the embargo on promotions and other rewards”, the party stated.”
