The Former Deputy Governor and the Peoples' Democratic Party candidate in the last gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, Prof. Kolapo Olusola has charged members of his party to take solace in the good performance of Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

The professor, who made the assertion through his media aide, Mr Onaopemipo Akinloye, said Fayemi's Sterling qualities have shown that he was a rare breed politician. He further said, the present administration had done creditably well in the education sector.

"Shortly after assuming office, the governor’s first act of governance was the revocation of education levies introduced by our(Fayose's) administration, and the declaration of free and compulsory education in the state primary and secondary schools, through an Executive Order. We know this move would ultimately ease the financial burden on the largely poor parents and eliminate drop-outs as well as encourage mass enrolment. Should our government have emerged, these policies are part of our programmes"

The former deputy Governor further asserted that the administration of Fayemi had upgraded the value of Ekiti people.

"In furtherance to this was an immediate approval of N200m as car and housing loans for Teachers, a gesture of appreciation to Teachers who are considered critical stakeholders instrumental to the repositioning of education in the state. A further show of commitment to their welfare was the recommencement of payment of Rural Teachers Allowance and Core Subjects Allowance, which had so far benefitted 6,203 Teachers in the state, not only that, the government did not only pay WAEC fees for 13,000 SS3 final year students, but also purchased JAMB forms for 3,000 Ekiti Youths seeking admission into tertiary institutions", Eleka said.

The PDP candidate charged the people of the State to give maximum support to the performing governor who had hit the ground running, immediately after he was sworn in.

"I have, after the Supreme Court judgment called Governor Fayemi to congratulate him and advice him to work without bitterness. I trust his Omoluabi credentials and I am sure we would be proud of our dear state after his tenure", he concluded.

The Supreme Court upheld the election of Governor Kayode Fayemi in a unanimous judgment by a five-man panel, declaring the petition filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the last governorship election in Ekiti, Kolapo Olusola Eleka, as frivolous and lacking in merit.

Given up

seems Eleka wants to decamp

The only thing good about this for me is the fact that the former Deputy governor acknowledges Fayemi's sterling qualities. I am so happy about this. God bless Eleka for this statements.

Eleka was a former deputy also a former commissioner for education, he knew the sector was in comatose during Their wasted four years.

Fayemi try in his first term..only dat people love fayose den and some mistakes
