The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the N73,000 minimum wage approved by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as a Greek gift.
Over the weekend, the governor announced the new salary for workers in the state during his governorship campaign in Ondo City.
However, a statement signed by Ayo Fadaka, the Special Adviser Media and Publicity of the PDP Campaign Organisation, cautioned civil servants against being hoodwinked by Aiyedatiwa in voting for him.
The statement read, "It is disrespectful to announce the new minimum wage of dignified and decorous Ondo State workers on the podium of the electioneering, thereby politicising the welfare and well-being of the state civil service to gain undue political mileage in the forthcoming gubernatorial election slated for November 16.
"The teeming civil servants in Ondo State see this latest promise about a new minimum wage increment as another Greek gift to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the Ondo State civil service into voting for him.
