Fayose explains why peoples’ support is important

By; OLADELE ADEDAYO, ADO-EKITI
Ekiti State Governor, Mr. ‎Ayodele Fayosehas said he will never take the love and support the people of the state are showing to him for granted because it is not in his character to repay good with evil.
He said this has always prompted him to give his best to the people despite the economic rating and condition of the state.
He spoke in Ikere-Ekiti at the weekend where a mammoth crowd welcomed him to the inauguration of the extended and dualised Ado-Ikere Road.
‎
The Governor said he would take the extension and dualisation of the road deep into the centre of Ikere.
This is just as he promised that no project would be left uncompleted by his administration.
He added that work would start next January on the further extension of th‎e road project.
Fayose also said the rehabilitation of the College of Education Road in the town would commence next week.
‎”I am really overwhelmed by the great support of the people for our administration across the state. The turn out today to welcome us to this great occasion is touching and moving. This is the reason why my enemies are suffering and lamenting in silence. They know the people of the state are behind us. The people have given me a rare opportunity to lead them for the second time, the first in the history of the state.
“We are also doing our best by giving you needed amenities and services despite the paucity of funds and the economic recession in the country. People are comparing notes. They know and see what goes on in other places that are richer than us and are convinced that we are trying our best. We will not disappoint you. Our enemies are confounded ‎because they don’t know that God’s calling is without repentance.
“God is making the way for us and we have the will to perform and when there is a will, there is a way. History is recording everything we are doing. None of the projects we are doing will be taken away by me when leaving office, but those coming after us will say it was Fayose would did this project and that,”he opined.
The governor solicited further support and cooperation of the people, saying the second half of the administration’s life span‎ would witness further developmental strides.
In his remarks, the Ogoga of Ikere-Ekiti,Oba Adejimi Adu Alagbado, described Fayose as a promise keeper.
He added that the governor had silenced his critics with his sterling performance in office, in th‎e face of serious economic challenges.
