Ekiti State Governor-Elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemihas yesterday, assured people of the state that his government would not fail them.

He said the experience he has gathered over time, especially when he first ruled the state has given him a deep knowledge about the state.

Fayemi also nursed the fear about the possibility of the Debt Management Office, DMO, under-declaring the state’s debt under Governor Ayodele Fayose, stating that he would probe the issue so as to get ample information about the state’s financial status which would guide him when he assumes office.

This he said after inaugurating the Kayode Fayemi/APC Governorship Transition Committee, headed by Senator Olubunmi Adetumbi in Ado Ekiti.

The 32-committee was established to interface with the present government and dialogue with other interest groups on how his government can perform well when inaugurated on October 16.

He said: “Let me say this, neither my Deputy Governor-elect, Chief Bisi Egbeyemi and myself consider ourselves as having a repository of knowledge or have answers to all Ekiti problems, so we are relying on your wealth of experiences.”

“In your report, tell us those things we should not lay our hands on at all. Also endeavour to indicate those things we can do to have immediate impacts on our people when we assume office, which is the most important thing to the incoming government.

“If you look at the configuration of this committee, we have more financial experts with deep knowledge of fiscal issues. There are four former Commissioners because finance is the main thing in Ekiti on the premise that our situations have worsened than we left it on October 2014.

“Our people are in a serious mess, poverty has risen and we have to move fast and ameliorate their sufferings.

“I want to appeal to the present government, particularly the Ekiti workers to cooperate with the committee in the spirit of patriotism.

They should think more about Ekiti interest than that of any individual.

“I see no reason why Fayose’s government would not want to cooperate with you because this was what we did in 2014 and which the whole Nigeria commended.”
