Today is a very sad day for me. I feel so sad to the
point numbness.All the states of Nigeria were
represented earlier today at the stakeholders'
briefing for the Free School Feeding program in
Abuja. Some of the young men and women planning
and executing this exciting and enriching project
are from Ekiti, but Ekiti State, my state, their state is
not a beneficiary. As such Ekiti State is not a
partipating state and not represented. Our children
in public schools in Ekiti will not benefit from this
programme.
The benefits in terms of child nutrition and good
health will not come to them. School enrolment will
not increase as experienced in Osun and Kaduna
states, not to talk of retention! We shall not benefit
from the spin-off effect of local agricultural
production. Thousands of our women will not
benefit from being employed as caterers.
Furthermore, our family and state economy will not
improve as envisaged in the participating states.
This is simply because of the choice we made.
What do we do now? How do we get out of this dark
alley? The rest of the country is moving fast past
us. This is unacceptable. Something has to give. We
cannot sit down, fold our hands and mortgage the
future of thousands of our young children and
women who should benefit from this laudable
program and many other initiatives that are aimed
at improving the lives of our people.
A few days ago thousands of hectares of land were
cleared by the Federal Government in Osun State
and parcelled out to young farmers to cultivate
Cashew. In the next three years, this plantation will
be manufacturing cashew juice, producing pulps
and nuts as well as oil used in furniture
manufacturing . This is an initiative of the Federal
Goverment in partnership with the state government
and that game changer Oba, the Ooni of Ife.
For months now our Governor, Ayo Fayose has not
attended the National Economic Council meetings.
Great initiatives are coming out of this congregation
of Governors and Federal Government officials to
diversify the economy .
In one year Kebbi State has benefitted N18 billion
from the rice intervention fund. In a season, the
farmers in Kebbi have harvested one million tons of
rice paddy . Lagos and Kebbi are collaborating in
rice production and rice milling.
Where are we in all of these developments
happening around us? Governors are drawing from
many other intervention funds to organise their
farmers to grow cassava, cocoa and palm trees.
We are not featuring in any of these, yet we are
mired in poverty. Our people are hungry and
stealing pots of soup from their neighbour's kitchen
and downing bowls of stolen amala with cold palm
oil. What has gone wrong with us?
Our situation is very sad and critical but this is a
choice we made!

Ekiti kete ooo! How stomach infrastructure ministry na ooo!

Ekiti folks right now be like:
I beg reach your side?

Where are we in all of these developments happening around us?

Here!!






Fayose's Agenda begins & ends with hating on Buhari & painting him in a terrible light before Ekiti Kete & Nigeria as a whole..

Anything that will impede this narrative will be strongly resisted no matter how advantageous for the common Ekiti person.

Ekiti threw away gold and picked up stone! O ma see!!

For ur information, the land being cleared in osun state is from the ooni and the state govt and not from the federal...

That being said...

Can u mention three point of intended actions that fayose campagined with that earned him the seat at the govt house?

If you cannot mention a tangible three, then, go to hell and enjoy the suffering!
