As the political campaigns for the governorship election in Ondo State are expected to increase in the coming weeks, the governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has warned civil servants to stay out of the fray.
He said they should stay out of partisan politics during the electioneering activities.
The governor specifically said he was against civil servants wearing campaign T-shirts adorning the logo of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Hitherto, civil servants often attend campaign rallies of incumbent governors, wearing branded t-shirts.
Mr Akeredolu spoke at special prayer session to mark the first working day in the new year held at the governor’s office, Alagbaka, Akure, the state capital.
He asked the workers to allow politicians to play politics, while they should concentrate on their efforts to help government execute its policies for the people.
He expressed gratitude to God for preserving his life, saying he had more services to render to the good people of Ondo State.
“I don’t want any civil servant to wear endorsement T shirt for me. Civil servants should not be involved in politics,” he said.
“I don’t want workers to do like they did before I came on board. They should focus on their jobs and let politicians play politics.
“We are all political animals, but workers should stay away from politics. And if they want to do, it should be done moderately.”
