Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday advised the Anglican Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Rt. Rev. Christopher Omotunde to remove the cassock and mount the soap box so that the whole world would know that he has joined politics.


Fayose, who stated this through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, was reacting to a statement by the Anglican Bishop describing Fayose’s tenure as a waste and non-beneficial to Ekiti people.

Adelusi said only a cleric trying to justify the blatant rigging of the last Ekiti governorship election by the All Progressives Congress (APC) would describe the physical transformation of Ekiti State by the Fayose administration as a waste.


His statement reads, “Even the blind feels the good works of Fayose and perhaps Bishop Omotunde and the likes need to change their eye glasses to see well.

“Our fathers have a saying that it is disheartening when one hears a statement of gullibility from a place where one expects to hear the words of wisdom.

“The records of the Fayose administration are there for all to see. It organised an Education Summit that led to great improvement in education in the state.


“Ekiti came first back-to-back in NECO exams and we also did well in WAEC. These are public institutions and the records are there for Omotunde to peruse.

“The Fayose administration built the first flyover in the state and it passes besides Omotunde’s church. One wonders if the bishop closes his eyes whenever he drives or passes through that place. If he does not, we pray that God opens his spiritual eyes.

“The Fayose government built a new high court complex, a new Governor’s Office, a new Oja’ba Market; dualised roads in Ise, Emure, Ikole, Omuo, Ijero, Efon, among others.

“It also dualized the Ado-Ikere road, built many roads in Ado itself such as Petim- Afao Road and Dehead- Police Headquarters Road. May be the bishop does not pass through these roads!

“Accreditation for various courses in EKSU, School of Nursing, and College of Health Technology was pursued and achieved by the administration. We can go on and list many other achievements in agriculture, health, social welfare and other sectors.

“Yearly, the Fayose administrstion recognised hard-working teachers and civil servants with car prizes and other gifts. Within four years, it was promotion galore for civil servants. Civil servants and teachers will not agree with the untenable and jaundiced position of Omotunde.

“The Ekiti people who Fayose served for almost eight years know that his time was a great blessing to them, which is why they call him the architect of modern Ekiti.

“Bishop Omotunde should remove his priest’s garment and mount the soap box if he is minded to be this politically partisan.”

“He said Fayose’s opposition to Buhari administration did not allow Ekiti to benefit anything from the centre.

“Assuming that was the case, it only confirmed President Muhammadu Buhari as an autocrat who must not be criticised, and not a democrat who should take criticisms in his stride.

“We make bold to say that Ekiti under Fayose and PDP has witnessed more economic and physical development in the last four years when compared to neighbouring APC-controlled states which have openly venerated President Buhari as their god-father.

“What has Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun benefitted from the Federal Government? What has even Lagos, where the APC national leader comes from, benefitted?


“In terms of peace and security, Ekiti under Fayose was peaceful; it was secured from herdsmen attacks, assassinations, and armed robbery opreations. These and politically-motivated killings have returned in full swing under Fayemi/APC.”

In as much as the itakpe rail project was a Yar-adua project carried on by jonathan and then buhari, we would just let that slide..

Ahh ahh, Ajaokuta that is about to be sold to fund 2019 budget?

And what is wrong with any of that?

Could you get on a train from Itakpe to Warri before this year?

Has Ajaokuta made any money for Nigeria such that it shouldn't be sold?

You are shifting goal post, you said work is being done on ajaokuta and i just proved to you that is a blatant lie, rather the plant is being prepared to be sold.

Could you carbon a train from Itakpe to Warri before this year?

It was a work in progress which happened to end this year, kogi indigenes would still have benefitted from it if the status quo had remained.

Work is being done and you cannot change that.

Kogi indegenes would benefit from it regardless of who the administrators are - public or private.
The infrastructure would never shift to a new place.

Without doubt, private businesses are better run than government owned.

So in summary have they gained anything from this admin on the steel plant?

Yes.

Even as investments are made local caterers, landlords, artisans, graduates and non-skilled would always be involved one way or the other.
