The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has distributed not less than 80,000 chickens and 100,000 bags of rice to Ekiti residents between Thursday and Friday. His Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, who disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti, said the Christmas largesse, including cash gifts, were distributed under the Stomach Infrastructure programme. He said people of the state, who besieged the Governor’s Office and those who had theirs delivered to them at their homes, were amazed by Fayose’s generosity. Adelusi added that, “Some of the elderly, who could not hide their joy at the rear opportunity of having to celebrate the season with the package, poured torrents of prayers on the man they referred to as supporter of the common man.
“As early as 10am, the governor, alongside several members of staff, had started distributing the package to the people who kept appearing in their multitude.”
The CPS said some of the beneficiaries noted that the gesture had reaffirmed the governor as a grass roots man to the core.
“They showed appreciation to the governor for putting himself in the shoes of the common man who may find it difficult to prepare a sumptuous meal for his family at this period of festivity,” he added.
