Renowned legal luminary and Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti (ABUAD), Afe Babalola, on Wednesday solicited support for the Ekiti state Governor, Kayode Fayemi to continue the “good works” which he started in the state three years ago.

Speaking in Ado-Ekiti, at the mega rally commemorating the 3rd anniversary of the Dr. Fayemi administration, held at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Babalola, recalled how he alongside other Ekiti indigenes fought for the creation of the state with the aim of making it the best in Nigeria.

His words, “This is historic and I say congratulations to you for this historic event. For about two decades now, I, the Ewi and some others fought for the creation of Ekiti state. The idea was to develop the state and make it the best state in Nigeria, and for that purpose Ekiti state is my project. The project was designed to bring prosperity to Ekiti state and whoever is doing that for us is my friend, therefore this is my friend for that purpose. Every reasonable person, every patriotic person, every nationalist must support whoever is developing the state and he (Fayemi) is doing that. Congratulations once more”.

Governor Fayemi, in his remarks, thanked the people for the support given him to achieve the strides recorded by his administration in the last three years, saying that his administration rose to power through the people’s mandate and support and assured that he will not relent in vigorously pursuing the actualisation of his pact with Ekiti people.

The Governor also urged aggrieved members of his party to return to the fold and join hands with his administration in developing the state even as he stated that members of opposition parties are already defecting to the All Progressives Congress.

Fayemi said, “You have not seen anything yet, we are ready to bring everybody on board. This train of development is on the move and those who fail to join will be left behind at the bus stop.

“We must not relent in the struggle to make life more abundant for our people through the implementation of our eight-point agenda.

“The eight-point agenda is about empowering our people, insisting that we are your servants and not your masters to ensure that the development which has started and seen by everybody continues.

“I am not tired because there is more to come from the arsenal that has brought this development to Ekiti.
