The Onire of Ire-Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Oba Victor Adeleke Bobade and the people of Iloro-Ekiti in Ijero Local Government Area have hailed Governor Kayode Fayemi for the various projects being executed by his administration to develop the grassroots.
In a letter personally signed by the Onire which was addressed to the Governor, the traditional ruler noted that his community has been transformed by the various projects executed by the Fayemi administration.
Oba Bobade praised the Governor for the reactivation of the Ire-Ekiti Burnt Bricks Factory which had been moribund for about 22 years and the reconstruction of the Ilupeju-Ire-Igbemo Road which had been abandoned by previous administrations.
The royal father also lauded Governor Fayemi for making Ogun Onire Festival a UNESCO cultural heritage site and tarring one kilometre township road in the community under the administration’s construction of five kilometres road in all the 16 LGAs.
He also expressed the gratitude of his subjects to the Fayemi administration for the renovation of two secondary schools in the community and the approval of N5 million intervention fund for the completion of Ire-Ekiti Town Hall.
In the same vein, the Iloro-Ekiti Progressive Union in a letter signed by its National President, Chief I.A. Ogunmola and the National Secretary, Mr. Sola Adaralegbe, expressed appreciation to the Governor for the receipt of the cheque of N2.5 million for the development of the community.
“On behalf of His Royal Majesty, Oba M.A. Arowolo, the Oluloro of Iloro-Ekiti and the entire citizens of Iloro-Ekiti in Ijero Local Government,, we are writing to acknowledge your very kind gesture and show our sincere appreciation for the receipt of a cheque of N2.5 million being the first tranche of the community development money you graciously approved for our community.
“We have said it times without number that your administration is with a clear difference, as we never had it so good democratically in Iloro-Ekiti.
“While we are sincerely appreciating this dividend of democracy, we want to further assure you of our unalloyed support and cooperation even for your second term in office.
“We pray fervently that the Lord Almighty will continue to grant you the Solomon’s wisdom with which you will continue to pilot the ship of Ekiti State to a safer shore”, the letter read in part.” The letter added.
