President Jonathan and His Political Deceits

President Goodluck Jonathan while presenting Ayo Fayose to the people of Ekiti state as the PDP candidate for the June 21 governorship election told the electorate in the state that "When you vote Fayose and PDP returns to Ekiti state again, I will join hands with him to develop this state"

My Take: Why is the president not joining hands with Governor Gabriel Suswam to resolve the ten months old strike of primary school teachers in Benue state, controlled by the PDP? Governor Suswam declared " I am cash-strapped and can't pay the money." O mase o.

He is therefore planning to reduce the state's workforce by 40 per cent. Can the state move forward with this problem?
