Good one Mr Bruce

Can't blame him outrightly because it depends on individual practices over d yrs. May be he is doing it in d nty against d following Morin paper nd like u knw everybody has his or her limit nd l tink he might not go beyond it in order to remain within wat he is preparing for.

We shall all get married sum day,@ d right tym. Kudos to all legible bachelors & spinters as we form our Association soon.

Following entreaties by the Ewi of Ado-
Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe Aladesanmi 111,
foremost lawyer, Aare Afe Babalola (SAN)
and the Catholic Bishop of Ekiti, Right
Revd. Felix Ajakaye and others, Ekiti State
Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has lifted
the suspension placed on the Secretary to
the State Government, Dr (Mrs.) Modupe
Alade.

The personalities pleaded on behalf of the
SSG during the celebration of the 25th
coronation anniversary of Oba Adejugbe
Aladesanmi in Ado- Ekiti yesterday.

The SSG, who was suspended some days
ago for three months by the governor has
therefore been pardoned and asked to
resume duties tomorrow.

Setting the tone for seeking pardon for the
SSG, the Ewi said his joy on the occasion
would not be complete if the governor did
not accede to the request.

In his response, the governor said he had
no choice other than to defer to the emi­
nent personalities, but warned against
indiscipline on the part of public officers
and civil servants. He noted that though he
is a kindhearted governor, he would not
compromise discipline.
Babalola, who was the chairman on the
occasion, had listed the qualities that
made Fayose excel as a governor.

“He is kind and listens to advice and wise
counsel. He does not say he is the
governor and would lord it over everybody.
When the tipper drivers had issues with
him over the N1000 levy, the drivers came
to me to intervene and I called the
governor on the phone. Though he was in
Afao-Ekiti, he came down to Ado-Ekiti, and
heeded my plea on behalf of the drivers
and reduced the levy to N500,” he said.
He described Fayose as a realistic and
pragmatic person, who has brought those
qualities to governance. He said with the
dwindling revenue base of the government
at all tiers, those in leadership positions
have to put in extra efforts to meet the
yearning and aspirations of the people.
“Thank God that we have a governor that
is realistic and pragmatic. When he says
yes it is yes, and when he says no it is no.
We have a governor that is truthful, honest
and transparent, and that has been helping
us in the state. It has also manifested in
the recent award given the state govern­
ment. We have 36 states in the federation
and a survey was conducted on budgetary
implementation, and the Fayose-led
government was rated as the most
transparent in the country. Those states
that call themselves big rated low on the
scale. This shows that the governor has
been handling the affairs of the state
well,” he said.

Babalola, who is also the founder of the
Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD),
called on the people to return to the farm,
saying agriculture was the surest way out
of unemployment and poor revenue in the
country.

In his speech, Fayose, who was the guest
of honour, promised to attend any similar
event organised in honour of any traditional
ruler in the state.

“The governor is for all traditional rulers
and people of the state. I want to assure
our royal fathers that an occasion like this
is not limited to Ado as many of our royal
fathers who are having such a great event
like this, the governor is at your beck and
call. Ado is central to us as a state and I
am for all royal fathers and any event that
tells the history of your existence, I will
always be part of it. I also promise that by
God’s grace, the new Ojaba Market, if not
completed by this time next year, will be
near completion,” he said.

In his remarks, Oba Adejugbe Aladesanmi
111 thanked Fayose for his tremendous
efforts at developing Ado-Ekiti and the
state at large.

“Ado people cannot thank you, Governor
Ayodele Fayose enough. You have helped
us a great deal and we pray that God will
continue to support and bless you.[/quote]
