Newly-elected governor of Ekiti
State, Kayode Fayemi, has explained why the people of Ekiti State voted for him
and returned him into power.
Fayemi, during an interview on
Channels Television’s News at 10, claimed there has been “arrested development”
in the last four years under Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The former Minister of Solid
Minerals also revealed why he is returning to power, noting that “there is
unfinished business” in the Ekiti Government House.
“This victory means, at the Ekiti
State level, a determination by our people to really have governance on a
serious level back in Ekiti State. That’s why the people have shown fate, by
returning us to power.
“On a national level, this
victory means that the propaganda out there about our party (APC) being a party
of trialists and people who are just interested in a section of the country is
not selling to ordinary Nigerian,” he said.
Explaining what he meant by
“unfinished business”, Fayemi said his return to the seat of power as Ekiti
State governor is to continue developmental projects in the state from where he
stopped.
“I already explained that there
is unfinished business. The clock of progress and development in Ekiti stopped
in October 2014. (My) coming back is to restart the clock and get it back to
the developmental trajectory. What we have witnessed in Ekiti in the last four
years is arrested development.
“When I say reclaiming the land,
it is not just about the physical reclamation of any land, it is about the
reclamation and restoration of the values of our people.
“It is a return to decency,
decorum and dignity. A return to a sense of self-worth and self-respect. A
return to respect for our elders and traditional institution. It is a return to
seriousness in government,” he said.
