The candidate of the Accord Party in the forthcoming June 18 Ekiti State governorship election, Basorun Reuben Famuyibo (BRF), has said he wants to become the governor to make life more meaningful for every resident of the state.
He stated this when he received in audience a group of youths from the state capital, Ado-Ekiti, who paid him a solidarity visit, recently.
Famuyibo, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Olajide Omojolomoju, said he has seen how civil servants, teachers and students suffer in the state, adding that he is coming to bring smiles to their faces.
He also promised massive infrastructural development across board and the provision of enabling environment for small and medium scale enterprises to thrive in the state of Fountain of Knowledge.
In a related development, the BRF Campaign Team stormed major markets in the Ado-Ekiti metropolis, including Irona, Bisi, King’s and New Garage, on a sensitisation drive, ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.

Addressing the youth group, Famuyibo said: “We will start with the payment of the backlog of salary arrears and thereafter ensure prompt payment of salaries and emoluments for teachers, especially, and all civil servants.
“For the teachers, we will ensure that they get their due promotion as and when due; train and re-train them to meet with international best teaching and learning methods and practices; pay allowances for core subjects and rural posting and make available to them car and housing loans.
“We will also ensure that we create conducive working environment for our civil servants; provide free transportation to and from work and train and re-train them as well. Our government will also ensure that every Ekiti worker gets the ’13th month salary.’
“For our students, we will ensure that school fees are reduced, so that many who are denied education due to high fees can return to school; restore electricity to our campuses, maintain existing infrastructures and provide new ones and ensure adequate accommodation in partnership with investors.”
He said market women, farmers and artisans would also be taken care of by his administration, just as adequate security would be provided for all and sundry.
Pledging their support for his ambition, the youths promised to do everything within their powers to ensure that Otunba Famuyibo succeeds in his quest.
At the markets, market men and women enthusiastically welcomed the campaign team and pledged their support for BRF’s aspiration.
