WILL FULFILL ALL ELECTORAL PROMISES – APC
The All
Progressives Congress (APC) has assured the people of Ekiti State that Governor
Kayode Fayemi will fulfill all promises made during electioneering campaign.
The party hailed
Fayemi for what it described as populist and welfarist actions taken in the
first week of his inauguration.
Describing Fayemi
as a “good and dependable ambassador,” the party urged the people of the state to
continue to support Fayemi to bring his blueprint to reality.
The party said
Fayemi needs the prayers of Ekiti people to succeed for his administration to
take the state to greater heights.
The Ekiti APC
Publicity Secretary, Mr. Ade Ajayi, in a statement on Monday said the governor,
in his first week, has taken some actions that showed that he (Fayemi) loved
the common man and had the interest of the people at heart.
Ajayi lauded the
Town Hall meetings held by Fayemi in all the three senatorial districts in
which he has taken government back to the people and gave them a sense of
belonging.
The party spokesman
described Fayemi as a man of integrity who would keep his words to make life
easier for the people of Ekiti State.
Ajayi said: “The
governor has announced the cancellation of education development levy imposed
on pupils in private and public schools by the past administration, while free
education would also return to public primary and secondary schools in the
state as against the exorbitant fees under former Governor Ayo Fayose.
“We applaud the
governor for the return of the social security scheme that will alleviate the
sufferings of our aged people and it is also heartwarming that Ekiti pupils in
public schools would be enjoying free meals latest by December.
“Governor Fayemi
would accord workers welfare his administration priority; pensioners,local
government workers and teachers would not be left out in the scheme of things.

salaries and benefits but we plead for patience from our people.”
Ajayi also
reiterated Fayemi’s call on all APC candidates for state and federal
legislatures to extend hands of fellowship to contestants who lost at the
primaries to face the general elections as a united house.
“According to
Governor Fayemi, all the State and National Assembly candidates must reconcile
with their co-contestants, leaders and members of the party in their units,
wards and local government areas to enhance victory at the polls in the forth
coming election in the state,” Ajayi said.
The party expressed
appreciation to Fayemi in his bid to pay severance and furniture allowances to
politicians who served under him,saying they should exercise patience in his
bid to make political appointments.
The statement also
appealed for calm from party members on the killing of the state Treasurer, Mr.
Moses Adeoye, noting that the governor has urged the state police command to
bring the killers to justice.
He added that the
governor had given his words to take care of the family of the deceased.
