Giving this advice, Mr. Oludare Ofere (JP) Secretary General, Ayo Fayose Movement, London chapter, extolled the achievements of the Fayose administration, saying Ekiti people were reaping the gains of democracy.
Ofere in an address delivered at a dinner organised for members of the state assembly in London recently, said the governor deserved the support and back-up of the lawmakers in order to achieve his dreams for the people of the state.
He called on the legislators not to allow disgruntled politicians to come in between them and the governor. "We are aware of the grand design by some politicians in the state to cause confusion and malign the person of the governor so that they can reclaim their lost glory through the back door," he said, adding: "I ask you honorable members of Ekiti-State House of Assembly to resist the attempt of those who would have you withhold your support for Fayose's administration to end poverty in Ekiti-state. "To you gentlemen who are charged with the sovereign functions of legislation and to those associated with you, we look forward with encouragement for your continued support for governor Fayose which will enable him to steer with safety the vessel in which we are all embarked amidst the conflicting elements of a troubled world." Said Ofere further: "Governor Ayodele Fayose is pursuing a cause in Ekiti-state. The cause since the inception of his administration has been the cause of the common man and the common woman. His commitment has been to all those he called the humble members of the society-the farmers, mechanics, and the laborers. On this foundation, the government defined its values, refined its policies and refreshed its faith.
"We have in Ekiti-state today more wealth, more goods, more food, more cars on our roads, more houses than we ever had. Fayose realized that it would be fatal for one to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the masses to get out of poverty.
