Makinde Araoye, special adviser
on federal matters to Kayode Fayemi,
governor of Ekiti state, has announced the appointment of 62 personal assistants.
While presenting appointment
letters to them on Sunday, Araoye said he took the decision to support Fayemi’s
administration.
It was gathered that the 62
persons, who were selected across all the wards in Ekiti south federal
constituency, have been paid their first salary.
“The 62 personal assistants
appointed today are not for Makinde Araoye, they are to support the government
of Governor Kayode Fayemi,” he said at the ceremony where letters were
presented to them.
“I’m sharing my salary to the
PAs, they are the ambassadors of JKF in the Ekiti south federal constituency 1.
They are to defend the government of Dr Kayode Fayemi. I didn’t appoint them to
start singing praises of Makinde Araoye but to support the good work of
Governor Kayode Fayemi.”

He said the appointment is
neither for political gain nor for personal aspiration.
“This is not for any political
gain, I’m not contesting for any position. Presently, I’m the special adviser
on federal matters to the governor, so I am not contesting for any position,”
he said.
“They are appointed to support
APC and the government of Kayode Fayemi.”
Araoye had sought the ticket of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ekiti south federal constituency but he
lost to Yemi Adaramodu, who presently represents the constituency in the house
of reps.
Yinka Oyebode, spokesman of the
governor, neither answered his phone nor replied the text messages sent.
