“I am overwhelmed seeing the
governor of Ekiti State today, he’s an amiable leader and he is so down to service, when I was in school as an undergraduate I do read many of his speeches on what governance should be, on how to move Nigeria forward. I am in love with the fact that he’s fearless, he discharges his
duties without fear or favour, that is one of the qualities I cherish in him. I learnt from him that for you to rule successfully, you must appreciate the common man, he is a very good friend of the masses, seeing him come so close to the people inspires me, I was just coming from my CDS now and I saw him here, I was so happy and I said I must see him before he leaves and that was why I
accosted him.
I just thanked God for what
happened now and I pray God bless him abundantly. He has just called the provost that I should be retained, that I should be given automatic employment, permanent employment,
he called the provost and the provost said first thing on Monday I should come with my CV. I just want to appreciate governor Fayose.” he said.
