Ekiti in Diaspora Okay Fayose's Strides, Pledge Assistance By Collins Edomaruse A carnival of some sorts was re-enacted last weekend in far away United States of America when indigenes of Ekiti State in diaspora held a reception for their Governor, Mr. Ayo Fasoye, who visited the country on the invitation of his hosts. No fewer than a hundred indigenes of the state gathered at Ramada Plaza Hotel, JFK International Airport, New York City, to honour the Fayose who was in US at the invitation of Ekiti Association in North America (EKAINA). The meeting was planned by EKAINA and was hosted by its New York local chapter, with delegates from all over the United States. In a statement by Idowu Adelusi, chief press secretary to the Governor, revealed that the convention, which held for two days began with a meeting of the committee and followed by a reception where all delegates were served with delicious African dishes by the host association. Executive Chairman of EKAINA, Engr. Mathew Ashaolu and Rev. John Ayodele, President of Ekiti Parapo Association of New York, lauded the landmark achievements of Fayose within 15 months in office. They said EKAINA was more impressed by the development projects such as the N1 billion poultry project, the dualisation of Ado Ekiti road, the road construction going on throughout the state, the water, electric projects and regular payment of workers' salaries. They enjoined the governor not to be distracted, adding that Ekiti indigenes in US were behind him and ready to assist in the development of the state. Earlier, Fayose in his address gave a briefing on what the government was doing in the areas of education, electricity, road construction, transportation, industrialisation and efforts to foster better political relationship.
