Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said he
patronises drinking joints every Friday in order to get close to the
‘common man’ in the state.
The governor said this in Abuja on Thursday while defending the
concept of “stomach infrastructure” introduced by his government.
He told journalists that it would be wrong to assume that stomach
infrastructure meant only sharing of food and money to the people.
Fayose said, “I also go to beer parlour on Fridays to stay with the
common men there. Governance is not church; it is about diverse
characters and you must relate with them as such.
“Christmas is coming, why do people go out of their ways to be
shopping or doing other things if it is not just to make people
merry?
“So, I’m grooming chicken, buying rice, yams, plantain, and the
rest of them. I am sure if I give them to families during the festive
period, they will be happy. So, stomach infrastructure is a way of
life.”
