The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has commended the incumbent governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, noting that he was not disappointed to have him as a successor.
According to a statement by Oyebanji’s Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, on Friday, Fayemi made the remarks during the commissioning of the ultra-modern Ado-Ekiti bus terminal in Ado-Ekiti.
The former governor said, “The evidence of your excellent performance is all over the place for everybody to see. I don’t have to wait till mid-term to do an assessment of your performance. The people have already given you a pass mark and I am happy you didn’t disappoint the people.
“The successful completion of this ultra-modern bus terminal being commissioned today is one of such. I have also seen several other projects and programmes you are undertaking for the benefit of the people. This is the beauty of continuity we talked about, and I am so happy to be around to witness this.”
He added that the decision to choose Oyebanji as his successor was not taken out of sentiment, adding that he had every reason to support the Oyebanji administration to achieve its set goals because his “governorship project was consciously determined, carefully researched and prayerfully endorsed.”
Oyebanji said he would like to surpass Fayemi’s achievements in order to vindicate the former governor that he made the right choice by backing him.
He added, “The project being commissioned here will serve as a hub for inter-state transportation with facilities like good internal road, packing lot, driver’s lounge, clinic and banking hall, among others.”
