Prof. Woke Soyinka has lauded the achievements of Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, as he nears the termination of his tenure as the state’s chief executive.
According to the Nobel Laureate, Fayemi has placed the State on an honourable footing by the various programmes and legacy projects he has put in place. He added however, that the decision to toe Fayemi’s path is the choice of Governor-elect, Ayodele Fayose.
Soyinka, who commissioned the new Government House in Ado Ekiti, weekend said the new Governor’s lodge is now open to Fayose and it was up to him to “either honour or desecrate” it.
He also said he had been watching Fayemi and was happy that the outgoing governor did him proud.
Also speaking at the occasion, Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, said posterity would be a better judge that Fayemi ruled Ekiti State in dignified ways to the extent that he left indelible marks in the State.
Dignitaries present at the event include governor of Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi and his wife Florence; Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, his wife, Olufunso; the wife of the Governor of Osun, Mrs Serifat Aregbesola, wife of the Governor of Kwara State, Mrs Omolewa Ahmed, the former Governor of Ekiti State, Asíwájú Segun Oni, the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, APC national chairman, Chief John Oyegun, former Governor of Abia State, Chief Ogbonaya Onu, and wife of the Governor of Ekiti State, Erelu Bisi Fayemi and the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Prof. Modupe Adelabu.
