Agbaje Will Not Sack Workers In Lagos If Voted In – PDP: The Lagos State chapter of the People Democratic Party (PDP) has denied rumours that its governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje, will sack workers when voted in as governor on February 28. In a statement on Monday, the party stressed that rather than sack workers, Agbaje would employ more workers and improve their welfare to international standard. But the party insisted that “just as Fayose sacked APC in Ekiti, Agbaje will also sack APC in Lagos in February”. The Lagos APC through its Publicity secretary, Joe Igbokwe, had issued statement (in the Punch Newspaper) alleging plans by Agbaje to sack Lagos workers as allegedly done by Fayose in Ekiti. “For the sake of clarity, Fayose sacked APC in Ekiti and not workers. Fayose has in fact employed workers in Ekiti and with better remuneration 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 PDP said. The party further alleged that the APC had failed Lagos workers and already jittery of the resolve of Lagos workers to reject the party in February election. It claimed that the APC was aware of plans by Agbaje to improve the welfare of Lagos workers. Listing some of the welfare plans, the party said the LAWMA sweepers would 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 and 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,” the political party said. It claimed that Mr Ambode had initiated an obnoxious salary scale in the Lagos Civil service, which “Agbaje will correct as well as lift the embargo on promotions and other rewards”.
