    ‘Ladoja seeking undeserved attention’Action Congress of Nigeria in Oyo State has accused former Governor Rashidi Ladoja of seeking undeserved attention from the people.

    The party said this on Wednesday while reacting to a statement  by the Accord Party Director of Publicity, Mr. Dotun Oyelade.

    The AP had accused the state government of failing to cater for teachers in the state.

    But the ACN, in a statement, on Wednesday, described the allegation that the state government collected N78bn in the last one year without catering for the needs of teachers as “frivolous.”

    The statement added, “The ACN accused Ladoja’s AP of being a nest of liars as the state government had already paid the 27.5 enhanced teachers’ salary.

    “It, as well, paid the minimum wage of N18,000 to the least paid worker in the state for over a year now.

    “We understand Ladoja’s beef. His cheap mantra of being the only governor, who catered for the interest of teachers while in office, has been effectively punctured by Ajimobi.

    “He (Ladoja) and his party needed to mourn their departure from the hearts of the workforce and replacement with Ajimobi, who has touched the lives of the state workforce in the last two years through training  as well as taking care of their welfare.”
