The Governor Kayode Fayemi-led administration has expressed its willingness to work with former political office holders who are ready to collaborate with it to restore the esteemed values of Ekiti, not minding under which government or political party they have earlier served the state.

The State Commissioner for Local Government and Community Development, Prof. Adio Afolayan gave the indication in Ado-Ekiti while receiving the body of the former Local Government Chairmen who paid a courtesy visit to his office.

Prof. Afolayan said that the present administration was favourable disposed to working with all citizens of Ekiti not minding their political affiliation because Governor Fayemi believes that every Ekiti person has potentials that could be harnessed to move the state forward.

He urged the people to be optimistic and have confidence in the ability of the government of Governor Kayode Fayemi to deliver on His electioneering promises despite the meager resources accruing to the state coffers.
