Secretary to Ekiti State Government, Dr.(Mrs) Modupe Alade on Thursday donated 10 lock up shops at Aremo Market in Ifaki-Ekiti and 4 hand driven borehole to ease water problem in the community.


Speaking at the commissioning of the projects, Dr. Alade said she needed to give back to her people and that was why the shops were handed over to them, clarifying that her people requested for the boreholes to complement the efforts of Gov. Ayodele Fayose in providing water to the community.

The former Permanent Secretary also expressed confidence that the Ekiti Deputy Governor and PDP Candidate in the July 14, 2018 gubernatorial election, Prof. Kolapo Olusola will emerge victorious in the election. She said: "the mind of lfaki- Ekiti people are made up, we are tired of the inglorious reign of APC.


"They scrapped our radio station and University, Fayemi ruined our economy in Ifaki. Our people have made up their mind to send the APC into political insignificance in the state forever".

Deputy Governor and PDP Governorship candidate in July 14 election, Prof. Kolapo Olusola in his remarks commended Dr. Alade for showing love to the people.


He said he was not surprised that Dr. Alade is giving back to her people for that is expected of any ardent follower of governor Ayodele Fayose stressing that Fayose is passionate about development.

"Governor Ayodele Fayose is hyperactive when it comes to development, I am not surprised you took after him in terms of meeting the needs of your people. You have to study the needs of the people before deciding on what to do for them and that is exactly what our SSG has done.


"As a builder, I will say these market buildings are excellent", Prof. Eleka said.

The deputy governor also stressed that the SSG has set good example which other politicians in the state should emulate, saying what the SSG did was to project good image of the PDP and that of Gov Fayose.
