My Government Will Still Focus On Banishing Hunger, Rather Than Social Infrastructures- Fayose

Despite people’s opinions about the governor’s popular
stomach infrastructure practice, the Governor who recently distributed items
such as rice, milk, groundnut oil, beverages and maggi to the people of the State
said he will do more rather than repair roads or focus on education for now.

The Governor according to a press statement by his Chief
Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said only healthy people could contribute to
the development of their societies.

“We are all witnessing what is going on across the world.
People are moving to places they think has greener pasture even at the risk of
their lives. People from Eastern Europe are struggling to get to the West. Here
in Ekiti, our concern is the welfare of the citizens. When we banish hunger,
assist in the provision of good health care services, then we can talk of roads
and other social infrastructure. A hungry man may not value a road that is
tarred because his major concern first will be to have food to eat. We are not
allowing paucity of funds to deter us. When we started last year, mockers felt
the programme would fizzle out or die, but it has not and will not. We have
held it thrice in Ado-Ekiti and now Ikere-Ekiti and it will go round the
state,” he said.

Do you agree that a government should feed its people first before
building good roads or focusing on education? Your thoughts!
