Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, of Gombe State has described his Ekiti State counterpart, Mr Ayodele Fayose, as the symbol of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He said this in Ado-Ekiti while laying the foundation of a new hall in the palace of the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe Aladesanmi 111.
In a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday by the Chief Press Secretary to Ekiti State Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, Dankwambo also expressed satisfaction with the developmental projects and programmes being executed by Fayose.
He said: “We are all behind Fayose, he is not alone . He is a symbol of our party. I am a member of the PDP and I will continue to be one. He is a great man and he means well for his people. Please support Fayose to take Ekiti to higher level,'' he said.
In his remarks, Fayose said sons and daughters of Ado-Ekiti as well as friends of the town would help in building the hall, stressing that the project is not a state project and will not be funded by the state.
“Ekiti and Gombe have things in common. The two states were among the six states created about 20 years ago. What I saw during the Udiroko Festival really impressed me and by next edition, God willing, I will come with more people from Gombe to celebrate with you people. I will also adequately support this hall project and hope to be here when it is inaugurated,” he said.
