Fayose had lambasted El-Rufai via his twitter handle: “I’m warning Nigerians again, the agenda of the APC is to sack workers. They are sacking teachers in Kaduna and Buhari is supporting them.”

“Final word, His Excellency, Gov El-Rufai should rather train those teachers as we did here in Ekiti. The system that produced them also produced the new ones to be employed. We can offer advice on how the same Ekiti teachers APC govt said were not competent became competent.”

Besides, the Ekiti governor’s aide, Lere Olayinka equally tweeted: “In Ekiti, we did not conduct competency test for teachers, we still made first position in NECO in 2016 and 2017. El-Rufai can come and learn from us.”

However, El-Rufai replied thus: “Your Excellency Sir, We are not sacking teachers in Kaduna. Rather, we are replacing unqualified people who are unfit to be called teachers to save the future of the next generation.”

Your Excellency Sir,

We are not sacking teachers in Kaduna. Rather, we are replacing unqualified people who are unfit to be called teachers to save the future of the next generation. https://t.co/OS7gbjoYM2
