Jubilation In Ekiti Over Fayemi’s Nomination by Anikulhapo(m): 8:21pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
There was jubilation in Ekiti State yesterday, following the announcement of former Governor Kayode Fayemi as a ministerial nominee. Some residents of Ado Ekiti and All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters and civil servants stayed glued to their television sets to monitor the reading of the letter conveying the list by Senate President Bukola Saraki. APC members milled around the party secretariat in Ado-Ekiti singing, dancing and congratulating one another on the nomination of the ex-governor, which they believed would benefit the party and the state. Some eminent citizens have been congratulating Fayemi on his nomination, urging him to use his position to add value to governance in Nigeria. State Chairman Olajide Awe urged Fayemi to strengthen the template for modern governance anchored on human development to contribute his quota to national development. From the Catholic Bishop of Ekiti, Rev Felix Ajakaye, came an advice to Fayemi to use his God-given gifts and talents to “concretely and meaningfully” make a positive impact in the service of the nation. The cleric enjoined the former governor “to continue to serve God and humanity with humility and to keep using your God-given talents for the common good”. The monarch of Fayemi’s hometown, the Onisan of Isan-Ekiti, Oba Sunday Owolabi Ajiboye, described his subject’s nomination as the “beginning of greater heights in life which affords him another opportunity to advance the course of governance”. The monarch said: “This is a new beginning of greater heights in your life, which we believe you will exploit to advance the course of representative governance anchored on human development, which you championed over the years in your journey to political governance.” For former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Director, Samuel Bandele Falegan, Fayemi’s nomination presented “the second time within five years that my joy is full to the brim”. The elder statesman said he was convinced that Fayemi’s nomination was a reward by God for dedication to selfless service to humanity and loyalty to his party, even as he said the legacy projects by the former governor had sold him beyond Ekiti frontiers. The Alare of Are-Ekiti, Oba Boluwade Adebiyi, described Fayemi as “a politician of no mean stature, a complete gentleman, a child of destiny” and asked him to maintain the attributes in the service of the nation. The Olupole of Ipole-Iloro, Oba Ezekiel Babatola Oladele, said: “God never closes a window without opening a door and God does not take anything from us without giving another.” He urged Fayemi to dedicate his life to God in the service to humanity. President, Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Ekiti State Branch, Yakubu Sanni, said Fayemi’s legacy projects would remain unparalleled. Sanni praised him for promoting Islam through the approval of hijab for female pupils and appointing Muslims into top positions of government. Members of the Association of Traders and Market Leaders of Nigeria said they were happy that Fayemi as a proud son of Ekiti State “has never put us to shame”. In his words, the Alawe of Ilawe-Ekiti, Oba Adebanji Ajibade Alabi, said Fayemi’s nomination was an attestation to his record of excellence.http://thenationonlineng.net/jubilation-in-ekiti-over-fayemis-nomination/ |

Monimatic:Instead of calling it propaganda, you should have said APC supporters hail Fayemi's nomination besides some traceable names were mentioned instead of the usual anonymous. You ppl should learn when to use the word propaganda. |
