1. That we are happy, pleased and proud of the numerous impactful developmental projects spread across the 16 local governments and particularly, the ongoing “New Ado -Iyin road”, “Ilupeju-Ire-Igbemo-Ijan road”, renovation of schools, social security programs for elders (Owo arugbo, Ounje Arugbo), water projects, youth and women empowerment, agricultural development especially the agro- allied cargo airport, industrialisation, security of lives and property and many others that touch our Local Government, in addition to promoting core Ekiti cultural and moral values.
Considering the impact of Governor’s performance and people oriented projects and programs being implemented under his stewardship, we therefore by unanimous voice pass a vote of confidence on Governor John Kayode Fayemi for his commitment, selflessness, patriotism, and leadership roles in national politics and for putting Ekiti on national and international limelight for good and positive reasons
2. That we equally acknowledge and commend our leader, “Gomina Agba” and the Minister of Trade,Industry and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo for his sterling quality as a leading rallying point in strengthening our party/government in Ekiti State and for his outstanding performance as the serving Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria .
3. That we are solidly in support of Barrister Paul Omotoso led state Executives committee at State, Local Government and Ward levels. We therefore reaffirm our confidence and trust in them to continue with their constitutional duties as entrusted in them without fear or favour.
