He pleaded with Nigerians to vote for Buhari, who he said would continue to work for the development of the country and liberation of the masses.

Represented by the secretary to the state government (SSG), Biodun Oyebanji, the governor spoke in Ado Ekiti, as he played host to members of the Ekiti state private sectors union who are supporting Buhari’s re-election.
“Those who are against Buhari’s re-election are the enemies of the country who want to continue to loot the nation’s economy after their 16-year rule,” he claimed as he appreciated the support of the group for the president.
Fayemi also promised members of the union that they would be allowed participation in governance in the state.
Gbenga Abiodun, the chairman of the union, said they embarked on the rally in support for Buhari because of the latter’s fight against corruption.
He pleaded with the people to vote for Buhari so that the state could benefit from the programmes of the federal government such as the extension of the proposed rail project to Ekiti which will in no small measure boost the economy of the state when completed.
“We are requesting more federal presence in terms of loan/grant for the private sectors union, infrastructural development, tourism, agriculture and more dividends of democracy and more importantly refund of the funds expended on federal roads in Ekiti state.
