Chairman Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State Hon. Alex Akinyele Oladimeji has responded to the various news alleging him of contempt for workers in the State.
Through a press statement signed by him he stated that,
My attention has been drawn to a statement credited to me while I granted a Personality Interview at OSRC last week released today while the Funeral of My Beloved Mother is in progress.
The Statement that, “70% of Ondo State Local Government workers do not go to their offices and they are shielded by their bosses” is not my intention rather a twist and misinterpretation of my interview . Let me categorically state for the records, I am a friend of the Labour Unions and would not make such injurious statement. I have friends and family members as Employees of the Local Government Service, I won’t call for the sack of same. Certainly, I was quoted out of proportion.
As an ardent supporter of the Arakunrin Odunayo Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN led administration that prioritizes workers welfare, same is my thrust, propagation and hallmark which are the boon of job security for Ondo State Local Government Employees.
In view of the above, I call on the general public and particularly the entire NULGERIANS of Ondo State to please disregard the alleged statement. It is at the instance of my political adversaries meant to smear and vilify my person to an head-on- collision cause with the Ondo State Local Government Employees.
Thank you as I expect your massive turnout at the continuation of my mother’s funeral tomorrow.
Up! UP!! UP NULGE !!!, TOTAL QUALITY.
Signed:
Hon.(Engr.) Alex Akinyele Oladimeji,
Executive Chairman, Ifedore Local Government.
