E-Political Gist
Dr John Kayode Fayemi
popularly known as JKF is the No 1 citizen and a sitting governor of Ekiti
state which is formerly known as fountain of knowledge which is now refer to as
“Land of Honour”. Kayode Fayemi find his way to Ekiti state house after prolong court battle to recovered his mandate
from the then ruling party that swindle his electoral mandate from governorship
gubernatorial general election of 2007 in Ekiti state Nigeria. After a long
court protracted battle between him and the then PDP acclaimed winner Egr Segun
Oni, he was restored back to office in 2010. Since then, he has been in charge
of Ekiti state administration.
“This article
is not to access Fayemi administration or to access his political manifesto but
to verify and ascertain the authenticity of alleged five thousand naira social
security benefit payee able to all aged citizens or residents of Ekiti state in
Nigeria”
Although, this is a
great innovation and good news to all elders’ residents in the state but how
true is the implementation of this policy? However, I hope this social security
policy is a right not a privilege to all target beneficiaries who meet the
policy criteria which must be far from political or other undemocratic option.
According to Ezone source,
the criteria use to rolled out this social security to beneficiaries and
evidence of it payment is still ambiguous but some of the report available to
us reveals that not all aged bonafide citizens of Ekiti state has being
benefitted from this policy
I hope Mr. Governor,
this is not like one of those deceitful policies that several politicians
usually use to steal public fund. If not ,
we think all these aged individuals should at least be aware of this
policy regardless of their local government , political affiliation, education,
religion, location etc and also be a beneficiary not that certain political
group will be sample to represent all others persons in the state.
I asked may be his
excellence will put this information in a public domain for everyone to see to
justify the transparency of this program not just to use it to create media
justification without no visible democratic
manifestation.
As for us at Ezone,
approach use to roll out this dividend of democracy is questionable because
they are many aged residents that have no knowledge of this policy. In Ekiti
state, we don’t want policy of political party or sectarian policy but benefit
of democracy to all Ekiti residents
