Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, has appointed a 72-year-old , Pa Olatunde Afolayan, as
the caretaker chairman of Moba Local Government Area.Fayose said
many of the champions of democracy in Nigeria depended on them to
survive during electioneering.
He said, “Some of us used them to get to
positions and forget these people. In my government, whether you are
educated or not, you will get something. The vote of a professor and an
illiterate is the same. So, under my administration, those who are not
educated can rise to any level they want.”
Afolayan, who said he would have been
grateful if the governor had made him a ward chairman, commended him for
the gesture, promising to surpass the records left behind by his
predecessors.
He said, “I had never gone to school for
a day, but that does not diminish my intelligence. I may not be
educated or certificated, but I have brain and experience to pilot the
affairs of the council.”
