Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi; former vice President, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar; and National Deputy Chairman, South-West, All
Progressives Congress, APC, Engr. Segun Oni, during the inauguration of
Oba Adejugbe Hospital, as part of events commemorating the 4th
anniversary of the Fayemi Administration, in Ado-Ekiti... on Monday.
The former vice president, who described Mr. Fayemi’s performance as extraordinary, said it was high time the Federal Government stopped getting involved in some sectors of the economy because they are better handled by state governments which are closer to the people than the federal government.
Atiku added that most of the developmental projects he had commissioned in recent time in some states were initiated and completed by state governments.
He expressed amazement at the
physical infrastructure which Governor Fayemi put in place in Ekiti State, noting that only an extraordinary and intellectual leader could do such.
“I think his (Fayemi’s) performance is extraordinary. Early this year I was here and when I came here, this very edifice was not available and driving round the city is also amazing because there are quite a number of infrastructural facilities that have come up. So I think it is an extraordinary performance,” he said.
The APC presidential aspirant stressed that the Federal Government had too much power and that when some of the power it wields are devolved to state governments, the Presidency would be less attractive to people who do not have well thought out plans for the country.
