Augustine Ojekudo, a former chairman of the human rights committee, Nigerian Bar Association, Port Harcourt branch, decried Ayodele Fayose and his recent actions.
Ekiti civil servants begging Governor Fayose
Recall that the Ekiti state governor showed up unexpectedly at the state secretariatto fish-out perpetual late comers. Fayose was said to have ordered the workers to kneel down for reporting late to work.
Speaking on Tuesday, September 1, in Port Harcourt, Ojekudo stressed that the corporal punishment the governor meted out to the state civil servants especially directing them to kneel down was not necessary.
According to the lawyer, the governor’s action was not only crude but condemnable; therefore, such humiliation should not be taken kindly.
“For a governor elected by the people to punish workers, is the height of torture, torment and intimidation.
“The matter should not be left just like that; he was elected for the good of the people only to humiliate them,” he said.
Moreover, Ojekudo noted that the punishment negatively affected not only workers but their children who felt bad seeing their parents and guardians on television and newspapers kneeling down.
The lawyer added that the workers should not have obeyed the governor’s ‘’crude’’ order.
Meanwhile, new pictures of controversial Ekiti state governor have surfaced on the internet showing him checking the licenses of motorists in Ekiti state.
