I Was Once A Bus Driver- Fayose Tells RTEAN Members

The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose while swearing
in new state executives of the Road Transport Employers Association of
Nigeria (RTEAN) yesterday in Ado Ekiti, disclosed to them that he was once a bus
driver like them, and they need not get desperate to make it in life but be
focused on what they are doing and they will scale through just like he did. Here’s
what Fayose who encouraged the transport workers said to them;

“Please, I want to
commend you for contributing immensely to the development of the state’s
economy, but don’t allow yourselves to be used by evil-doers. You can see that
some kidnappers were paraded recently. Information from them revealed that they
have been using some of your members.

“I was once a driver like you. I used the money I got from
driving to sponsor myself for HND at Ibadan Polytechnic, but I did not get
desperate. All I’m saying is that being a driver you can make it in life. You
will become what you want to become in life with hard work. Don’t join evil
gang for you to get rich overnight, try and rise through the ladder like we
did.”
