Governor Fayose Promises To Banish Poverty, Appoints Sunday Anifowose, Special Adviser On Stomach Infrastructure

The newly-inaugurated Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, says he is determined to put food on the tables of Ekiti State people that he has appointed Mr. Sunday Anifowose as a Special Adviser on Stomach Infrastructure.

During his inaugural address on Thursday after he was sworn in by EKiti State Chief Judge, Ayodeji Daramola, Fayose said he would work hard to put food on the table, and he vowed to appoint an adviser on “stomach infrastructure” which he did hours after his swearing in, keeping to the promised made the people.

Ekiti Governor appoints Mr. Sunday Anifowose as Personal Assistant on Special Duties and Stomach Infrastructure and Dr. (Mrs.) Modupe Alade as Secretary to the State Government followed by Mr. Idowu Adelusi as Chief Press Secretary.

“I have forgiven Ekiti for removing me unjustly and I declare peace, prosperity, progress, employment, food and stomach infrastructure. You can put a tar on the road but if I don’t have a car and I’m hungry, then that tar is meaningless. Tarring our road is wonderful but putting food inside this stomach is very important.” Fayose declared.

“Already, I am grooming your chicken for Christmas. I am getting your rice ready to do stomach infrastructure. When I defeated them, they said it was as a result of stomach infrastructure. How can an incumbent be saying that when he had the money, he had the power, he had the might but disconnected himself from the people. They are gone.”

Fayose said promised to dedicate himself to serving the people.

“I will banish hunger in your midst. I will work hard to put food on your table. I represent you. I am living for you. I am here to serve you. That is my assignment,” he said.

“They want me to look like the governor of their imagination but I am governor of your own imagination, he governor that eats boli with you, the governor that drinks agbo jedi with you, the governor that knows that the resources of this state belong to you.”

“When I come to buy boli tomorrow, I will drop something. I will look after you. They are too clean in their own eyes to go to the jedi sector and that is why you voted them out. Whether they call it stomach infrastructure, it is their business, because I am going to appoint a special adviser for stomach infrastructure.”
