Ekiti Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has assured that preparations for 2022 gubernatorial election in the state will not affect projects execution and other areas of service delivery by his administration.
Fayemi also admonished all political parties and their followers to eschew violence by playing the game according to the rules.
He said that no political post was worth the blood of any individual, “saying it is only God that enthrones leaders.”
The governor spoke in Ado-Ekiti at a “State-of-The-State” programme at a special plenary sitting presided over by the Speaker, Ekiti House of Assembly, Mr Funminiyi Afuye, on Friday.
The special plenary was part of activities lined up to mark the third year of the governor’s second term in office.
“This administration has only one year left, but I can assure you we shall work till the very last day. We have spent 1,095 days, which translate to three years .
“The next final year will be used to build on our existing performance, and no project will be left uncompleted.
“All abandoned projects by the previous administration had been completed by us, with only few others still at various stages of completion, but I am giving my words that by the time I leave office, there will not be any project left unattended to.
“As we move gradually into the electioneering period, I enjoin all Ekiti persons to avoid politics of bitterness. We are all brothers and sisters
“It is also my prayers that may the wish of God prevail on our journey to the next political dispensation,”the governor said.
Enumerating the performance of the administration in the last three years, Fayemi said that more than 1,000 projects had been completed and inaugurated.
He added that 1,000 rural roads embarked upon across the three Senatorial Districts were either completed or ongoing, to facilitate ease movements of people and agricultural products in the rural communities and farmsteads.
Besides, he said efforts were being intensified to improve current “unacceptable” level of power supply in the state.

Consequently, he said his government had finalised agreement with the Niger Delta Power Company to kick-start a 7.0 Megawatt Power generation, among other power plans.
This is to enable the government to meet up with his industrialisation plans for the state as well as household consumption.
On the deplorable state of the Ado-Ekiti-Akure, Ondo State road, Fayemi said he was unhappy with the situation.
He said that his administration would continue to engage the Federal Government towards ensuring that something concrete was done to alleviate the people’s lamentations concerning the road.
