‘FAYOSE NEVER PRETENDS,’ WIKE CELEBRATES EX-EKITI GOVERNOR ON 64TH BIRTHDAY
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, as “a dependable ally, whose yes is yes, and no is no”.
Wike said Fayose will never pretend about where he stands on issues.
In a statement issued Friday in Abuja by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the FCT Minister, in his goodwill message to Fayose on his 64th birthday, also described him as “a valuable friend and brother”.
He said: “I rejoice with my friend and brother, former Governor of Ekiti State, Peter Ayodele Fayose, Osokomole, on his attainment of 64 years on earth today, November 15, 2024.
“The attainment of this age is no doubt a confirmation of the grace the Almighty God has bestowed on him and a challenge for more service to our country, Nigeria.
“No doubt, at 64, Fayose has remained a reference point in politics in Nigeria. His footprints on the sands of Ekiti State will forever remain indelible.
“He is such a valuable friend and brother, who will never pretend about where he stands on issues.
“It is my prayer that God will continue to make the days of our own Osokomole on earth fruitful, with immeasurable blessings and robust heath.”
