Ayodele Olorunfemi, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for governor of Ondo State, has promised to pay the N120,000 minimum salary should he win on November 16 in the off-cycle election.

According to Olorunfemi, a minimum salary that takes into account the current state of the economy and the skyrocketing cost of living is necessary.

In an interview with NAN, the Nigerian News Agency, he stated: “As of 2023, when we were campaigning, we assured our people that LP would be paying a minimum of the N80,000 minimum wage in Ondo; that was before the economy got to where it is today.

“With the situation in the market now, looking at the cost of living, if this state is put under our control, we shall not pay anything less than N120,000 as the minimum wage.

“That is the minimum we can pay, and we believe we will be able to afford it.

“The fact that I know is that what we have now can pay the minimum wage.

“We want our workers to be productive so that more wealth can come to the state.”
