The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said that the victory of his deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, in the July 14 governorship election will be the easiest in the history of the
country.
Fayose said his strong political ties with the Ekiti electorate and his performance as a governor would make the victory easy for Olusola, as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party.
According to him, his government has achieved so much in the area of education due to the fact that all critical stakeholders in the sector are in collaboration with government, assuring that Olusola will not deviate from the path he has charted.
Fayose spoke in Ado Ekiti, during an interaction with stakeholders in the education sector, which included Parents/Teachers Associations, teachers and the Ministry of Education.
During the meeting, Fayose was invested as the Grand Patron of the National Parents/Teachers Association of Nigeria, Ekiti chapter.
Fayose, who officially presented Olusola to the stakeholders, said, “Deputy Governor Olusola’s victory will be the easiest in the country’s political history because I have not deviated from the ideals that people considered to bring me back in 2014.”
He said Ekiti was ranked 35th in the National Examination Council’s rating when he came in 2014 but that he had been able to bring the result to the first position in 2016 and 2017, through series of motivations for
teachers.
“But let me say this, your victory is not in the hands of politicians (telling his deputy); I have even told those around me. It is in the hands of Ekiti people, I mean the electorate,” he
enthused.
Earlier, the PTA Chairman in Ekiti State, Mr. Samuel Osadare, promised that all the stakeholders would continue to partner with the government, to make Ekiti the cynosure of all eyes in the education
sector.
