TO demonstrate seriousness attached to the voter registration exercise by his administration, Governor Kayode Fayemi yesterday warned that any civil servant in Ekiti State who fails to obtain a voter registration card will
not receive January salary.
The governor made the declaration in Ode-Ekiti, headquarters of Gbonyin Local Government Area of the state, shortly after flagging off the Free Medical Mission packaged by his administration for the people in the grassroots.
He said his administration places premium on the voter registration, which he described as an important step to prevent vote robbery in the 2011 general elections, calling on residents of the state to troop out en masse and get registered.
The governor charged all civil servants both at the state and local government levels to go to the nearest registration point and register their names as eligible voters so as not to lose their salaries.
Fayemi said: “Your vote is your power and I want all of you to ensure that you register as voters to enable you exercise your civic rights at the forthcoming general elections.
“Any civil servant without voter card will not receive this month’s salary and the subsequent ones. I am emphasising it that the card will be required from civil servants before they collect their salaries.”
