Ekiti Students are not Fools: FESSU Denounce Pro-Fayose Rally.

The students Under the auspices of federation of EKITI State Students Union has denounced the continuity rally led by some students in the state in support of the Fayose continuity agenda when all the higher institution in the State are on strike.

This was made known by the Union General Secretary, Comr Ademiluyi Ayodele Joseph in a press statement sent to Civil Reporters about the Pro Fayose rally held in the state capital yesterday. He noted that "the rally tagged "Ekiti students supports continuity agenda" is another attempt to deceive the general public and to also cover up the negligence of the Government for the past 3 and half years on the part of students and youths."


In furtherance, he noted that, continuity is good but the students must becareful of the type of continuity they support. He stressed that "If the continuity is all about good governance, human and capital development, youths and students empowerment, Job employments etc then it's a continuity that we all must rally round since it's going to bring a positive change to the state."
He recounts the unfaithful nature of the Government under the leadership of Governor Ayodele Fayose to students.

In his words, Ekiti students are not fools and our future can't be shortchanged all in the name of continuity. Continuity Agenda is another attempt to rob Ekiti indigenes,an attempt to take us on another hopeless journey. If we are students and students ,bodies are going to support the continuity agenda then the Governor must a matter of urgency clear all our outstanding Bursary and Scholarship for the past 3 years, clear all outstanding salaries and arreas of our parents without delay and also with immediate effect meet with the demands of both EKSU and College of Education Ikere management so that all our students can return back to lecture room without delay.


Moreover I don't see a reasons why Ekiti Students will support Continuity Agenda; A government that refused to pay bursary and scholarship for over 3 years, a government that can't point to a single youths and students empowerment program since he assumed office, a government that proscribed a democratic students union on campus, a government that shutdown all state own institutions in the state does such government really deserve a continuity agenda? My answer is NO! The secretary noted.
What happened in the state capital yesterday is another great testimony that people are ready to trade anything just for daily survival, the general public should please ignore the paid agents. We feel so sorry for them. We wish to inform the general public that Ekiti students has not and would never declare our supports for CONTINUITY of slavery, continuity of deceits, continuity of none payments of bursary and scholarships, continuity of zero youths and students empowerment and oriented programs for another four years. We say NO to the Continuity of none payments of our parents salaries, NO to continuity of Strikes on all our campuses, We say NO to continuity of negligence of duty on the part of the government. This is a clarion call to all youths and students of Ekiti, we all must come together at this point to RESCUE Ekiti from the hands of the oppressor. Ekiti is bigger than an entity.

He threatened that soon the union will address the whole nation on "Ekiti and the Continuity Agenda"
