Ekiti state Deputy Governor, Professional Kolapo Olusola has urged Ekiti teachers to ignore lies circulating by APC, saying he has no plan to proscribe the activities of Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools in Ekiti State.
He made this known today when he paid an unscheduled visit to African Comprehensive High School, Ikere Ekiti. Addressing the teachers, he said; being an active Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) member, he knows and values the importance of unionism.
The lies peddling around by the opposition party was that the PDP governorship candidate will ban ASUSS activities if he becomes the state governor. Disabusing the minds of the teachers from the wicked lies, Prof Olusola said he was not in the position to interfere in matter that had already been taken to court. He said as far as he is concerned, ASUSS has freedom of association.
The PDP governorship candidate noted that secondary schools teachers in this present administration, have in no measure, benefited more than the Primary schools teachers. He said only one primary school teacher had ever benefited from overseas trainings organized for schools, whereas secondary schools teachers the APC are trying to pitch against him had benefited immensely.
“Fayemi that was trying to pitch you against me said he does not believe in the credibility and performance of our teachers, he said our schools in Ekiti have turned to miracle centers.
“The hatred he has for Ekiti Teachers is still there, he has no regard for our teachers, that was why he was trying to badmouth the successes recorded by this government and by extension, our teachers.
“In PDP, we value and appreciate our teachers, we encourage and mobilize and motivate them to perform effectively. We organize seminars for them we train and retrain our teachers for effective and efficient service delivery, you can be rest assured that your welfare is Paramount to me, being one of you, I will take care of you,” he said
