Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to consider the state for one of the “Grade A” federal ministries. “Ekiti, being one of the states created last in the country,
deserves a ministerial portfolio that will have direct impact on the people, not just a minister for the
sake of federal character.”
In a statement issued yesterday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and News Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said his position was not to favour any individual but in the collective
interest of Ekiti people.”
He said all Ekiti indigenes must work together for the progress of the state not minding diverse political interests, adding, “my interest, first and foremost, is the collective good of Ekiti and its people and I will continue to lend my voice to the
promotion of Ekiti interests.”
“Our people want one of the best ministries where developmental efforts of the state government can
be adequately complemented, not just a ministry that will only be of benefit to the minister and his
immediate family members,” the governor said.
