By Ayodele Abere The Federal Lawmaker, representing Ekiti Central Constituency 1 at the Green Chamber. Honourable Olusola Fatoba, has paid lump sum of allowances to the chairmen and wards executive members of the wards in his constituency comprising Ado and Irepodun local governments of Ekiti State.
The Chairmen numbering twenty-four apart from the over fifty other exco members in both Ado and Irepodun/Ifelodun local governments all went home smiling as they all got five months of their allowances paid.
Addresing the gathering on behalf of Fatoba at the Honourable’s office in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, the Director-General of Sola Fatoba Campaign Organisation, Chief Peter Adekunle, urged all the executive members of the All Progressives Congress APC wards in the Constituency to go back to their various wards, and get their people mobilized for both President Tinubu and Governor Oyebanji’s second term in office.
The D-G who highlighted the importance of continuity in government explained that there wouldn’t be any case of abandoned project by the successive administration which has always been the case whenever the opposition party is in power.
According to Chief Magun, the Director-General of Hon. Fatoba Campaign Organisation, “we are supporting BAO for second term. That’s the position of Hon. Steve Fatoba in particular and all of us in general “.
Also, the Vice Chairman, Ado Central Local Council Development Area, Alhaji Onipede Babatunde, who said Honourable Fatoba, has always been in the habit of giving to his people as he described him as a real grassrooter, said he has been in good relationship with his people before he became member of the House of Representatives.
Alhaji Onipede opined that Honourable Sola Fatoba believes in developing people, saying he has been developing people for long.
“This is not new. When he was not even in the National Assembly, he has been doing a lot for his people and he did a lot when he was contesting for the House of Representatives. That’s why everybody is rallying him wherever he goes “.
