FAYOSE GIVES PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED COBBLER 500,000NAIRA AND ALSO PUTS HIM ON SALARY.

It was a carnival like atmosphere at Ikoro Ekiti
Wednesday afternoon when Ekiti State Governor, Mr.
Peter Ayodele Fayose stormed the residence of Mr.
Timothy Iseoluwa in Ikoro Ekiti.
The governor, who said he was watching the state
owned TV when he came across a documentary
detailing Iseoluwa’s predicament and his urgent need
for assistance said “I immediately called the
commissioner for finance, Chief Toyin Ojo, who
incidentally is from Ikoro Ekiti to furnish me with
details of the man’s situation; it was then that I was
reminded that I was the one who gave him motorcycle
and shoe-making instruments during my first term in
office. If someone with this type of challenge can
manage to eke out a living and not resort to begging,
we have to come to the aid of such a person.”
The governor went ahead to present N500,000 in cash
to Mr. Iseoluwa, whose building and working tools got
destroyed in an inferno few weeks back.
He thereafter presented him a brand new motorcycle
and directed the LG Council boss to place him on
N20,000 monthly salary.
Mr. Iseoluwa whose joy knew no bound thanked the
governor and prayed for the success of his
administration.
Reacting to the kind gesture of Mr. Governor on behalf
of the good people of Ikoro Ekiti, the Onikoro of Ikoro
Ekiti, HRM Oba Dr. Olanrewaju Adewaju quickly
proceeded to bestow on Mr. Fayose the title
“Bashorun” of Ikoro-Ekiti.
