Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has urged Senators representing the state to fully support the nomination of former Governor Kayode Fayemi during his ministerial screening next Tuesday.
He also urged those who wrote petition against Fayemi’s nomination to abandon their petition to because an “Ekiti man in an Ekiti man” and it is only God that judges individuals.
According to a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose said this during a meeting with student leaders from the state under the aegis of Federation of Ekiti Student Union (FEESU) in his office.
He said “I call on all the House of Representatives members and senators that went to Abuja from here, some people petitioned the National Assembly stating how Fayemi sunk Ekiti into heavy debts, I have told the members not to do that.
“It is God that judges people, not us. You must support him there. They should not go to the Senate and oppose Kayode Fayemi, no, they must never do that. An Ekiti man is an Ekiti man. I appeal to everybody, you must support him.”
He urged the students not to engage in acts of thuggery that will affect their education.
