Following attempt to impeach the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, the Organised Labour in the state has  declared half day total shutdown in Ado Ekiti today,  in solidarity with the state governor.


Members of the organised labour, under the auspices of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), gathered at the popular Fajuyi Park Resort centre yesterday where they declared  Friday a work-free day for workers of the state civil service.

The organised labour also placed embargo on human and vehicular movements within Ado Ekiti metropolis from 6a.m. till noon.

Addressing journalists, the unions which spoke through the Chairman of the NLC, Com Ayodeji Aluko, warned the  political class against heating up the polity, lamenting that the breach of public peace had also been coming from a few elites and certain political group which sees the state governorship as their sole right.
