Governor Fayemi added: "We cannot thank you enough for the spirit of industry and entrepreneurship and your contribution to the development of all Southwest states. I have long standing relationship with our Ndigbo here. I have benefited from their support. They are good people, not just as residents, but as sons and daughters of Ekiti State. This was what informed my decision to appoint a Senior Special Assistant on Ethic Matters."

Governor Fayemi said he believed that what would make Nigeria a better place is the extent to which all Nigerians can forge cooperative existence, adding that his administration remains unrepentantly committed to the peaceful co-existence of all Ekiti indigenes and residents.
