South West Governors are doing wonderful things. Best Governors are from South West. God bless them.

But it wasn't a global phenomenon during Goodluck Jonathan's regime?

Wahala

Picture pr and propaganda governor

What are we really celebrating in Ekiti? This istration concentrated all its project in Ado Ekiti, what about other lga? Are they not part of the state's program?

Majority of interstate roads are death traps, how can investors come from other states?

The shorter route to the north have been abandoned to Akure route which is farther.

Two Lga(ise/orun and Emure)out of 16lga are without light for over 6months now and no other competent person ready to challenge this present istration?

Kidnappers operating at will around my lovely once secured state and we can't tell the governor truth about insecurity?

Ekiti kete leaders kindly step out and see beyond deceiving us.
