He said he would run for another term to consolidate on the “good works”, which his administration had embarked on since 2010
Adeyeye added in a statement signed by the Director General of his campaign organisation, Hon. Bisi Kolawole: “The Fayemi-led Action Congress of Nigeria government does not have any excuse to stop the payment of the 27.5 per cent TSS because PDP government of Engineer Segun Oni was paying it before he (Fayemi) became governor

Opening the 128-stall Awedele Neighbouhood Market, Fayemi said the new stalls were constructed to provide alternative market for traders, who were displaced at the Bisi Market, which was partly demolished to pave the way for the recently completed Atikankan-First Baptist Road, now Funmi Olayinka Drive
He said that his administration will always remain worker-friendly in executing policies that enhance their welfare and boost their capacity

All that we are seeing today is not strange in Ekiti politics. It is a game of popularity that should be expected between the two dominant parties in the state. They have to do this because of the sophistication in politics that have come to bare in our past elections where no party can claim that it can go to sleep on assumption that it has bought the heart of the people,” were the words of Adelana Adeyanju, a youth leader and Vice Chairman of Ekiti Alliance for Democratic Stability
The governor made the pledge on Thursday during the lying-in-state of Olayinka at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado-Ekiti, where a mammoth crowd witnessed the Afternoon of Tributes held in honour of the deceased

Dr. Fayemi, who was apparently worried at the spate at which some people violate town planning laws while building their houses, stated that the demolition is aimed at protecting the lives and property of citizens as some illegal buildings have posed threats to the safety of lives and property of those who had normally built their structures in the proper place by diverting the waterways

Funds that should accrue to the State in the next 20 years are being taken in advance through questionable loans and bond, with the implication that future generations of Ekiti people will be saddled with the task of repaying loans already spent even when they were yet to be born
The Eagle Online gathered on Saturday that Olayinka is to be buried at the vault located between the Governor’s Office and Adekunle Fajuyi Park in the state capital, Ado Ekiti
