During his speech at the 2018 edition of the Annual Udiroko
Festival in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, Gov. Ayodele Fayose said on Tuesday
said that all the ongoing capital projects will be completed and inaugurated
before vacating office on Oct. 16.
This was in response to the criticism he's gotten from critic
about his embarkation on employment of new hands into the state public service
at the tail end of his tenure.
He listed the capital projects so far completed and ongoing
to include the One-Kilometer overhead bridge in Ado Ekiti, the new state High
Court complex, the new Governor’s office and the new Ministry of Finance
complex.
He listed others to include the new Ultra-Modern Kings
Market in Ado Ekiti and the Amphi Theatre, the Banquet Hall at the Ewi’s palace
and the dualization of virtually all the 16 Local Goverment Headquarters among
others.
After his arrival at the venue, Fayose said there was no
known law in the country that says a sitting governor must stop performing the
functions attached to his office once his party have election decided against
it.
He told the gathering that the about 200- lock up shops at
the new Kings market would be shared to willing traders before the end of the
week.
He pledged that those traders initially displaced as a
result of the fire incident that razed the old market would be given
preferential treatment.
NAN reports that the governor appreciated the people of Ado
Ekiti for standing by his party during the last governorship poll, regretting,
however, that certain forces allegedly did not allow their votes to count.
