Fayose is a patriot, says Afe Babalola

Founder, Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola, has described Governor Ayodele Fayose as a patriot, not only to Ekiti and the Yoruba race, but to Nigeria.

The legal luminary also described Fayose as a magician, miracle maker, architect, planner and executioner, who has changed the face of judiciary in Ekiti.

Babalola commended Fayose for completing the new ultra-modern Ekiti State High Court Complex and naming it after the first Chief Judge of the state and now a monarch, Rtd Justice Oba Ademola Ajakaiye, the Oluyin of Iyin Ekiti.

In a statement by Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Idowu Adelusi, Babalola was quoted as saying that Fayose has amazed the doubting Thomases, who didn’t believe he could complete the N1.9bn High court complex within record time.

Also, Oba Ajakaiye lauded Fayose saying, “It is more gratifying that it was done when I am alive to savour the honour.”

Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) also praised fayose for delivering sound and purposeful leadership to his people.

The Chief Judge of Ekiti, Justice Ayo Daramola also poured encomium on Fayose.
