Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state on Thursday cancelled all forms of fanfare as well as stadium parades usually held on Independence Day celebrations.
NAN reports that Fayose in a broadcast said there was nothing to celebrate in view of the economic situation in the country.
“I do not think it is proper to engage in jamboree when it is almost becoming increasingly difficult to pay workers salaries.
“The current situation demands sober reflection from all and we cannot pretend about this,” Fayose said. He ordered residents to stay at home and enjoy the celebration in low-key.
NAN reports that as a result of the governor’s order, the usual activities associated with the celebration were absent in most parts of Ado-Ekiti on Thursday.
However, there were few places where pockets of activities were organised by individuals or corporate bodies. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Ekiti is being governed by a mad man. All of a sudden, there's nothing to celebrate because PDP is no longer the party at the center.
ReplyDeleteNothing to celebrate because APC is in charge. Get over your loss miscreant. Did you nor celebrate last year? Fayose is a compound fool.

ReplyDelete9ja was 55 yesterday and he's just knowing thrz noin to celebrate,when he actually celebrated last year...#moveonbro
ReplyDeleteHe is a certain a mediocre in the game of politics by matured and wise men. Foolish leader thinking everyone else is as foolish as he is. Suddenly nothing to celebrate because power has changed hands from the surreptitious leadership of the Pdp that milked the nation dry of tax payers money. He should have at least given the children and students a reason to celebrate their Nation and hope in a brighter and better Nigeria. May the Lord guide our leaders right.
