Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti has once again thrown his weight behind former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, who he actually unseated saying the President should please give the former Governor a key ministry and not just a ministry for the sake of his family or because the Federal Government wants the ministry occupied. It will be recalled that before the former Governor’s screening at the Senate, Fayose had also called on Ekiti people to support him and suspend every petition against him if there are any.
In a statement released today through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Mr Fayose said;
“Ekiti State, being one of the states created last in the country, deserves a ministerial portfolio that will have direct impact on the people, not just a minister for the sake of federal character,” Mr. Fayose stated.
“My interest, first and foremost is the collective good of Ekiti State and its people and I will continue to lend my voice to the promotion of Ekiti interests.
“We don’t want just a ministry, we want a ministry that will be of direct benefit to our people and I am urging President Buhari to be mindful of our people’s expectation when allocating portfolios to the ministers designate,” he said.
“Our people want one of the best ministries where developmental efforts of the state government can be adequately complemented, not just a ministry that will only be of benefit to the minister and his immediate family members.
“The Ekiti project belongs to all and everything must be done to support it and as for me, Ekiti remains my priority.”
