Fayose distributes Christmas gifts to Ekiti people

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.
