There is palpable tension in Ado- Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital, as some political appointees of the outgoing Governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi, have concluded plans to embark on a mass protest following the non payment of thier furniture allowance.
According to information gathered by ThePageNews, those agitating for the payment are Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants and Personal Assistants among others.
The aggrieved officials, according to a whatzap message (attached) circulated within the affected members, summoned a meeting with themselves for Friday.
The meeting is meant to perfect their action plan, since according to them, the Fayemi government will officially expire on Sunday, the 16th of October, hence, the need for their immediate action. Below is the whatzap message by the aggrieved officials:
*Fayemi’s SSAs, SAs, PAs, others set to protest over non-payment of furniture allowance*
