Governor of Abia state, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has expressed his love and admiration for his Ekiti state counterpart, Ayo Fayose.
While describing him as the ‘defender of the weak and defenceless’, Ikpeazu said Fayose has given him tips on how to tackle some sensitive political matters.
He also said he’s emulated many things from the Ekiti state governor, which has proved to be helpful in Abia state.
Speaking at the weekend during the burial ceremony of his mother which was attended by the Ekiti state governor, Ikpeazu said ‘Fayose is a consistent man known for speaking the truth’.
A statement was released to this effect on Sunday, in Ado-Ekiti, by Governor Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, who quoted Ikpeazu to have said: “Governor Ayodele Fayose is a courageous man, a voice for the voiceless, a defender of the weak and defencelss, a brother, a leader, a friend and a leader of the people.”
“A consistent man known for speaking out the truth all the time. He told me few things that worked for me perfectly in this state.”
“He has been governor twice and he is far experienced. He has encouraged me in deed, character and in words. I pray that God will give me the opportunity one day to be able to show my appreciation to him and how I feel about him. He is a man I love and respect so much and I salute his courage.”
