Ekiti’s Progress Made Possible By Our Leaders – Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has attributed the level of progress reached by the state over the years to the hard work and commitment of its past and present leaders.

He also expressed satisfaction that his administration has fulfilled its promises and is bequeathing a solid foundation for socio-economic development to the incoming administrations to build on.

The governor spoke in a special broadcast on Saturday to the people of the state to mark the 26th anniversary of the creation of the state and the country’s 62nd independence anniversary.

Fayemi said the people have reason to thank God for what He has done for them through successive administrations, while also appreciating the struggles and sacrifices of those that fought for the creation of the State, which came into being on October 1, 1996.

“Ekiti is now a state of pride for all of us, emerging steadily from her humble beginnings and the outstanding dedication of past and present leaders who worked for and have continued to work to ensure that the state assumes its proper pride of place in the comity of states across the nation.”

He noted that the support, guidance, prayer, suggestions and criticisms of the people formed the impetus for his administration’s visible and impactful achievements throughout his two terms as the Governor of Ekiti State.

Fayemi who would transfer the reins of power to the Governor-elect, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, on October 16 said the seamless transition in which an outgoing governor would be handing over to a successor from the same party, for the first time in the history of the state, would allow for building on the foundation of development already laid by his government.

While noting that Mr. Oyebanji was part of the success story of his two tenures, the Governor said it was heart-warming that his successor would perfect whatever the outgoing administration could not perfect appreciating everyone that has contributed to the feats recorded by his administration.
