…..RALLIES SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has expressed delight that the Land of Honour is on the right path towards rapid socioeconomic development after one year in the saddle.

Fayemi said evidence abound that his administration is walking the talk, restoring the values and enhancing the impact of governance on the citizenry.
The Governor who spoke in a live broadcast to mark the first anniversary of his second tenure in office craved the support of Ekiti people as his government is resolved to carry out more life changing policies for their benefit.

The state chief executive noted that the mood of uncertainty that pervaded the State when he returned to power "is gradually giving way to optimism and strong belief in the capacity of government to provide purposeful leadership."
Fayemi who expressed gratitude to the people of the state for giving him the mandate for the second time explained that his administration is making the best use of the opportunity by managing their collective commonwealth with the best intents.
He also appreciated the traditional rulers, religious leaders, members of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and indeed all politicians in Ekiti State, civil servants, civil society organizations, labour unions, farmers, artisans, and market men and women for the abiding support we have enjoyed over the past one year.

According to him, the successful democratic transition that ushered in his administration has reignited the hope of the people  whom he said are now aware of the fact that "the enthronement of good government is the only way to truly enjoy good governance that guarantees better standard of living."
Fayemi said: "Ekiti-kete, it is exactly one year today, that I took the oath of office as the sixth (6th) democratically elected governor of our dear State, Ekiti.

"You laid the path for a new beginning in Ekiti State on July 14, 2018 when you freely elected me as your Governor but your journey of faith with me started, for the second term, on Thursday, October 16, 2018.
"Today marks the first anniversary of the journey. First anniversary of the day we all heaved a sigh of relief. The day that marked the beginning of values, dignity and honour restoration.

"The day that further consolidated our democracy and opened a new chapter in the practice of good governance in Ekiti State.
"You will recall that I gave the assurance during my inauguration that my agenda was to unify all Ekiti people irrespective of status, religious creed, and political affiliations.
"I did promise that my second coming would be used to heal the wounds of the past, calm frayed nerves and galvanise our people along the path of economic progress and prosperity for all.

"After one year of being in the saddle, again, evidence abound that we are, indeed, walking the talk, restoring values and enhancing impact.
"An account of my stewardship for the past twelve months will be rendered today and will be broadcast to you live from the hallowed chamber of Ekiti State House of Assembly.

"I came back this second time to further reinforce our collective commitment to actualizing the Ekiti State of our dream. A State where the people would be able to deploy their intellectual resources in any chosen sphere for the collective good of the state without let or hindrance.
"A State where every man or woman, old or young, educated or illiterate, will have access to a fair share in its prosperity.  A State that will accord every man and treat every resident with dignity.

"When I look back at the first 365 days in office, my heart is gladdened that a prosperous Ekiti State is springing anew from the ashes of the ruins of the past. 
"As your Governor, I derive my joy, from your feedback, which daily confirms that, indeed, Ekiti people appreciate how we are managing the commonwealth that they entrusted into our hands. Our modest but steady progress excites me.

"There is relative peace and tranquillity in the State, and above all, our people are happier. This attests to the fact that we are on the right path. We are determined to sustain this trend and soldier on meticulously to implement our restoration agenda headlong."
