The organisation said Fayemi’s victory indicates that Nigeria is itching to its rebirth where quality leadership will become prevalent over ethnic, religious or partisan political arrangement.
The Ekiti State chapter of the Yoruba socio-cultural and political organisation, Egbe Afenifere Ilosiwaju Yoruba, has congratulated Governor Kayode Fayemi on his victory as the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum .
The Ekiti governor was on Wednesday night elected by the 36 governors to superintend of the forum’s affairs for the next four years. He succeeds outgoing Zamfara State Governor Abdulazis Yari. Osinkolu, who described the feat as record-breaking to reshape the politics of the country, urged Fayemi to bring his administrative ingenuity as well as shrewd and political wizardry to ensure that Nigerians feel the positive impact of his new position.
The lawmaker-elect noted that with the governor’s new position, there would be more development, especially federal presence, to Ekiti State, the Southwest and all the states in the federation due to his closeness to the Presidency.
