The excited crowd praised the governor for bringing back social life to the state as they sang, danced and laughed to the rib-cracking jokes of comedians and musicians, including the sensational hip-hop star, Skales.

According to them, the event was historic and assured them of the fact that the security efforts of the government have truly paid off, as there was no incidence of violence throughout the period.

Ekiti State-born Kolade Afolabi went away with the star prize of a brand new tricycle in the raffle draw conducted by officials of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission ‎while other prizes, such as a double-burner gas cooker, generator, pressing iron, among others, were also won.
