Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has
said he patronises drinking joints every Friday in
order to get close to the ‘common man’ in the
state.
The governor said this in Abuja on Thursday
while defending the concept of “stomach
infrastructure” introduced by his government.
He told journalists that it would be wrong to
assume that stomach infrastructure meant only
sharing of food and money to the people.
Fayose said, “I also go to beer parlour on Fridays
to stay with the common men there. Governance
is not church; it is about diverse characters and
you must relate with them as such.
“Christmas is coming, why do people go out of
their ways to be shopping or doing other things if
it is not just to make people merry?
“So, I’m grooming chicken, buying rice, yams,
plantain, and the rest of them. I am sure if I give
them to families during the festive period, they
will be happy. So, stomach infrastructure is a
way of life.”
The governor said that most people who
committed crime did so because they felt that
life was no longer worthy of living for them and
that there was no one to tell them that there is
life for them.
He said it was because of this that he set up a
department for stomach infrastructure and also
appointed a special assistant and a personal
assistant on it.
“So, my style, without apology, is that stomach
infrastructure is a way of life for me, I will relate
well with my people to alleviate poverty and
hunger,” he added.
He said that the welfare of the people in the
society mattered, hence his condemnation of
spending N3.3bn on the building of Governor’s
House by his predecessor, ex-Governor Kayode
Fayemi.
“That is not to condemn or fight anybody but I
have another instance, the University of Ado Ekiti
has most of its courses yet to be accredited and
they needed about N800m to sort out those
problems, will the governor be living in affluence
when the whole state is in darkness?,” he asked.
On the face-off between him and members of the
Ekiti State House of Assembly, the governor said
he was already discussing with the speaker.
He said he was sure that the leadership of the
House was ready to work with him.
He said, “I am an experienced governor and I
know the game. Very soon, my House of
Assembly will be together, working to keep the
ground running; they want to work with me and
I want to work with them.”
