'I won't divert bailout funds'- Fayose assures Ekiti civil servants.

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has assured
that his administration will not divert the bailout made
available by the Federal Government to help the state
clear the backlog of salaries of civil servants.
He claimed that being a lover of workers, he would not
deny them of their wages as written in the Bible,
pledging that the funds would be used for the purpose
it was meant for.
The Governor, according to a statement issued on
Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi,
spoke while delivering a lecture as part of activities
marking this year’s Civil Service Week, where he
pointed out that he had met all the requirements for the
bailout but that he had yet to receive the money.
While assuring that the money would be paid
immediately the bailout was made available, Fayose
promised not to pursue “developmental projects at the
detriment of the growth of workers’ stomach
infrastructure.”
The statement quoted him as saying, “At the last
meeting I held with all of you, you asked me to go
ahead and get the bailout. I’ve gone ahead, I’ve
signed. I am waiting for the money and as soon as the
money comes, I will pay. I am not going to be among
the governors that will divert the bailout. I want the
stomach infrastructure inside you to grow.”
He said he would not hesitate to make necessary
sacrifices to ensure the wellbeing of the state
workforce, the way he had been since he assumed
office in October, 2014.
