Fayose commends Jonathan over appointment of Adeyeye

THE Ekiti State governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose, has described the appointment of Prince Adedayo Adeyeye as Minister of State for Works by President Goodluck Jonathan as a right step in the right direction. Fayose, who stated this through his media aide, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Abuja on Tuesday, said that Adeyeye would do well in the new position. The governor-elect described Adeyeye as a man not given to frivolity or known for disloyalty, assuring the president that Adeyeye would not disappoint him. Fayose said: “I promised to stand by him. I enjoin Ekiti people home and abroad to stand by him so that he can succeed for Nigeria and Ekiti State, his primary constituency. “I charged Adeyeye to have a separate telephone through which Ekiti people can reach him. He must be reachable and prepared to bear our burden as a state. “Adeyeye should not allow politicians to come between us as, politics and office come and go.” Fayose who narrowly missed the handing over ceremony in Abuja on Monday, said he would give every support so that Adeyeye would do Ekiti people proud. Fayose thanked the President over the appointment, assuring again that Ekiti people who are noted for loyalty and uprightness will not disappoint him.
