Nine months after, over 400 staff of the College of Agriculture, Iguoriakhi in Ovia South West Local Government Area of Edo State were sacked by the governor.
The PMC said sacking over 400 workers by the APC government in Edo State was a pointer to what to expect in Ekiti should the party be allowed to regain power in the State.
The retired teachers said it was even more worrisome that the APC candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi played prominent role in the competency test done by teachers in Kaduna State, leading to the sack of over 22,000 teachers.
They said Fayemi’s insistence on teachers competency test when he was governor and his demotion of hundreds of school principals and vice principals was what no teacher will pray to experience in the State again, urging a total rejection of the APC and its candidate.
