Ekiti State governor-elect, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has described the on-going recruitment exercise by the administration of Governor Ayo Fayose as illegal.
The state government had said 2,000 workers made up of 600 Secondary School teachers, 400 Primary School teachers and 1,000 core civil servants would be employed.
But the Director of the John Kayode Fayemi (JKF) Centre, Biodun Omoleye, who warned applicants against buying the forms, also accused Fayose of deliberately exploiting jobless youths by asking them to pay between N500 and N1, 000 to obtain the forms.
He said: “Fayose knows that such recruitment will be cancelled by the incoming administration over the illegality that informed the exercise.
“It is unlawful and wicked to play to the gallery by singling out only PDP members for recruitment
“This is a clear breach of the law that prohibits political consideration in civil service recruitment.”
Omoleye called on applicants to disregard the employment exercise and wait till October when the new government would take over.
