Ekiti 2014: Afenifere endorses Fayemi for 2nd Term
The Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi was endorsed by Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere Renewal Group at the weekend to continue in office as governor of Ekiti State beyond 2014.
The group’s national chairman, Olawale Oshun, a former Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, said that “Dr Fayemi’s sterling performance deserves an unopposed ticket for a second term and a massive victory at the polls.
“Fayemi’s policies are not just about executing projects, they are focused on human developmental goals. He has also shown he could uphold the welfarism ethos of our founding fathers as espoused by the movement led by late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
“With what we have seen, we can boldly say that Ekiti State is ready to tap into regional, national, and global economic potentials while also developing its local economies to global standards.”
Afenifere’s endorsement was announced in Ado Ekiti the state capital while ending a three-day Governance Assessment Tour by the group to the State, during which it inspected a number of projects and listened to presentations from representatives of government agencies.
Oshun also advised Ekiti residents, especially the youth, to shun the prevalent get-rich-quick syndrome and beggarly lifestyle that is beginning to find fertile grounds in culture.
He urged people of the state to “key into the new policies of government on agriculture, knowledge economy, and information technology.”
