Governor of
Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said he patronises drinking joints every
Friday in order to get close to the ‘common man’ in the state.
The governor
said this in Abuja on Thursday while defending the concept of “stomach
infrastructure” introduced by his government.
He told
journalists that it would be wrong to assume that stomach infrastructure meant
only sharing of food and money to the people.
Fayose said,
“I also go to beer parlour on Fridays to stay with the common men there.
Governance is not church; it is about diverse characters and you must relate
with them as such.
“Christmas
is coming, why do people go out of their ways to be shopping or doing other
things if it is not just to make people merry?
“So, I’m
grooming chicken, buying rice, yams, plantain, and the rest of them. I am sure
if I give them to families during the festive period, they will be happy. So,
stomach infrastructure is a way of life.”
