Why Ekiti Had 10 Govs In 20 Years — Fayose by study4free(m): 6:30am On Sep 11, 2016 |
The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose,
has said his controversial nature was
behind his good leadership.
Fayose, in a statement on Saturday on
the 20th anniversary of the creation of
the state compared his performance as a
second-term governor with past
governors and administrators since the
creation of Ekiti in 1996.
The governor, speaking through his Chief
Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said
since the state’s inception, none of the
past nine governors could measure up to
him in terms of performance.
He said, “Ekiti was created 20 years ago.
It is the only one of the states created in
1996 that has yet to have either an
airport or airstrip. Still, the opposition
does not see this as a minus for the
state.
“I don’t know how to play politics with
development of the state. To me, Ekiti
(comes) first. The dirty politics here is
responsible for Ekiti having 10
governors, as opposed to Ebonyi with
four since 1996. During my first tenure,
the opposition said there was no need to
dualise roads of the state capital,
everybody is enjoying it today.”
The governor added that the
achievements of his predecessor,
Dr.Kayode Fayemi, who is the current
Minister of Solid Minerals Development,
in four years were only three projects.
Fayose said, “The projects are the new
Government House, which amounts to a
white elephant project; the uncompleted
civic centre; and the uncompleted state
pavilion, which he said gulped huge
resources without any concrete use for
the people.
“My priority is to leave Ekiti better than
I met it. What I did during my first term
are those visible things in the state
today. I may be tough, I may be
controversial, but all these are catalysts
for my performance. I built the first
governor’s office, dualised roads of the
state capital, constructed roads in every
nook and cranny of the state, put on
ground many structures for use of the
state. I always scored the first position
in development of the state.”
According to the governor, his
developmental projects in the state are
being criticised unduly.
“I am a visionary leader. I don’t wait
until there is a dire need for anything. I
always plan for the future. Is it when
there is a gridlock in Ado Ekiti that we
will build a flyover?
“Must there be fire outbreak before we
have a fire service station? I thank the
Almighty God for bringing me back as
Ekiti governor and unto Him I give all
glory for the landmark projects I have
done in the state,” he said. http://skyevibes..nl/2016/09/i-am-best-governor-of-ekiti-state.html?m=1

Still, the opposition does not see this as a minus for the state.States created in October 1, 1996. Bayelsa Ebonyi Ekiti Gombe Nasarawa Zamfara. Does Ebonyi have any airport or strip? Either the report is wrong or Fayose was in his wrong mind while saying this! |
