Oba Daramola made the appeal shortly after receiving the instrument of appointment and staff of office from the State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi at Oke-Ora-Ekiti.

Dr. Fayemi who was represented at the occasion by his Special Adviser on Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief George Akosile commended traditional rulers in the state for the relative peace and stability in their domains which brought about low crime rate in the state.
The Governor promised that the developmental efforts of the present administration would be evenly spread to all the nooks and crannies of the state, stressing that his administration would provide the necessary amenities needed by the community within its resources.
Dr. Fayemi however solicited the support of all Ekiti indigenes including those in the diaspora for his administration’s efforts to rapidly develop the state.
In his remarks, the Caretaker Chairman of Ido/Osi Local Government Area, Hon.
