Governor Ayodele Fayose’s troubles with the Buharis, the number one citizen of Ekiti state has yet courted another trouble.
Fayose had on Monday evening, mentioned Aisha Buhari as one of those involved in the corruption scandal of Williams Jefferson, a United States congressman.
The governor received backlashes afterwards, with the presidency describing him thus: “he is a man childishly obsessed with the desire to grab the headlines and insulting people at will because of his incurably boorish instincts.”
Daily Post now reports that the governor has failed in his bid to stop the ongoing industrial action by the labour unions in the state as a meeting between both parties ended in a deadlock on Tuesday evening.
Sources revealed that the governor’s appeal to the striking unionists to shelve the strike in the interest of the state fell on deaf ears as the meeting to address issues that led the unionists to take the option of strike.
Raymond Adesanmi, the Ekiti state chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), informed that the strike would go on because they could not reach a compromise.
He said: “The governor listened to us and promised to get back to us. We are also going to have our own meeting on Wednesday to review the situation, but the strike continues. It is either three months salary or no talk.”
The issue with the Nigerian First Lady got messier on Tuesday evening also, as Aisha was quoted to have described the governor as a mad dog.
In a tweet by the president’s wife, Fayose was told to hold his peace because he is a “mad dog that isn’t chained.”
