Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, on Friday presented a brand new Ford Everest Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)to the Chief Imam of Ekiti State, Alhaji Bello Kewulere, in fulfillment of an earlier promise to the respected cleric.
Presenting the SUV to Alhaji Kewulere shortly after the Friday’s Jumat service at the Central Mosque, Ado-Ekiti, the Governor said the gesture was in appreciation of the cleric and the Muslim community in the State as well as ensuring fairness since the retired Anglican Bishop of the State, Bishop Adedayo Abe was given same a few months ago.
Dr. Fayemi added that he had also ensured that workers got their salaries before the last Sallah so as to enable Muslims celebrate in abundance as done for Christians at Christmas.
He stressed that he is committed to building a State that enables people get the dividends of democracy regardless of religious, racial or political affiliation.
Receiving the key to the brand new SUV, the Chief Imam expressed his appreciation to the Governor for not being sectional and for ensuring fairness among the citizenry.
Kewulere had expressed his surprise at the gift as he was not informed before it was brought during the Friday Jumat service which was supposed to mark the thanksgiving for the last Sallah.
It would be recalled that the Governor had during the Jumat service for the second anniversary of his administration held three weeks ago promised to pay October salary before sallah as well as provide the Chief Imam with a vehicle.
