Oba Adejugbe said he was yet to understand the secret behind the governor's success given the meagre federal allocation that the state receives.
The monarch was speaking during the finale of the budget tour in Ado-Ekiti.
Oba Adejugbe said the governor had put his education to good use and had demonstrated that he was matured and well-prepared for governance.
While commending the governor for the good works of his administration in Ado-Ekiti, Ewi noted that he was aware of the pressure on the governor that he was spending a lot to develop Ado-Ekiti, adding that the town belongs to all Ekitis and that the infrastructure is for the use of all Ekiti indigenes and residents.
He thanked Governor Fayemi for promises fulfilled and the Ilera La'afin health mission.
The monarch also expressed his reservations about the Anambra election, stressing that he found it strange, highly disturbing and deserving of urgent attention that INEC could not conduct election successfully in one state.
Oba Adejugbe therefore urged all Ekiti indigenes to be vigilant about the 2014 governorship poll.
Speaking on behalf of Ado-Ekiti, the President of the town's progressive union, Chief Obafemi Ojo, highlighted their requests to include the reconstruction of Odo-Ado/Igirigiri road, construction of Olorunda/Olorunsogo/Pathfinder road, Omisanjana/Ajebandele road, Isinla/Bank road, creation of four more Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), illumination of Fajuyi/Police headquarters road, completion of Oba Adejugbe Genaral Hospital, amongst others.
Responding, Governor Fayemi said Odo-Ado/Igirigiri road, Ijigbo/Poly road, Olorunda/Olorunsogo/Pathfinder road would be taken care as part of the 5 kilometres in Ado Local Government next year.
He said the contract for Omisanjana/Ajebandele road had been revoked due to shoddy job and that it would soon be re-awarded.
He promised that the illumination of Fajuyi/Police Headquarters dual carriage way would be done before the end of this year, adding that the contractor is an Ado indigene whose job so far has been of good standard.
"The person who is doing the job is from Ado. He is also the one in charge of Ijigbo/Irona/Ilawe road illumination. He has been doing a good job," Governor Fayemi explained.
The governor noted that with the level of work done at the Oba Adejugbe General Hospital, it would be ready for use in March.
He announced that a committee on the creation of LCDAs will be set up in the next two weeks and that towns are expected to submit memorandum explaining why they deserve LCDAs.
Governor Fayemi urged the Ewi of Ado to always advise politicians on the need to play politics without violence, adding that whoever wants to run against him is free to do so.
"Whoever wants to contest should be allowed to do so. They should tell the people what this administration is not doing that they want to do. We know there are people who would always want to look for opportunities to foment trouble, but we must appeal to them. We are one in Ekiti," he said.
He thanked the Ewi and the people of Ado-Ekiti for their prayers and support, adding that his government would continue to fulfil its promises.
