#EkitiDecides ; Assessing JKFs administrative excellence. Fayemi Is Not Building Stomach infrastructure - BIMBO DARAMOLA Dr Fayemi would have sufficiently raised the standards such that anybody that aspires to lead Ekiti State will first of all benchmark himself. Some of the things they have said about Governor Fayemi is that he is not the kind of governor who goes to eat roasted plantain in the street place, market place or doing seeming things that are populist. He is not building stomach infrastructure. Can you equate in terms of character a governor who goes to the streets to buy roasted plantain and ground nuts from the woman on the streets, that may not be bad…but can you compare that to a governor who ensures that 25,000 senior citizens get a monthly stipend of N5,000 and put them on subsistence care of their health and immediate needs? People are better off with him than a governor given to emotional sentiments and goes to the street to say how much is your boli and pays N5,000 for it and that is where it ends. You don’t wish to just be a leader, you must earn it. There must be integral qualities that you possess. This is a governor that provided 30,000 Laptops for students and another 18,000 Laptops for their teachers and trained them as well. This is because he knows that there is no profession that does not have ICT components in it. The world is not waiting on Ekiti and we cannot afford to play catch up anymore. Governance all over the world cannot be rated differently because the ultimate destination is to ensure that the quality of life of the people gets better. That is the essence of governance any short of that is defeatist. The governor has imbibed that and manifested that sufficiently enough that people are saying we have entrusted our mandate into your hands for three and half years and it’s turned out this well. For instance Ikogosi Spring that is now talked about today laid prostrate for 21 years in a roll of successive governments. It never caught their attention. It took the attention of Dr. Kayode Fayemi to reverse the trend and created jobs for people. Ikogosi that laid prostrate for 21 years played host to Nigeria Media Merit Award. In December 20,000 people went to the place. If everyone of them spent N200,that will develop the economy of Ikogosi.
