Chairman of the Nigerian Governors' Forum and Ekiti Stàte Governor, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi was in Birnin Kebbi to felicitate with the people and Government of Kebbi State as they joined the Muslim Umma to celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr on Monday.

The NGF Chairman extolled the extraordinary commitment and sacrifice of his Kebbi State counterpart, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu to the Nigerian project. Saying, "he attends to matters of concern and worries to all of us.

"This is to ensure that we do not lose, but gain more people, and indeed we have been gaining more.

"Happily, that has not shown any dent on the myriad of the developmental strides of his administration in Kebbi state that has continued to record tremendous growth."

Fayemi further acknowledged the contributions of Bagudu to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as Chairman of the Progressives Governors' Forum. He said: "It is not easy to superintend over the affairs of 22 Governors on different perspectives and objectives, although we are on the same mythological orientation.
"He is a strong, dependable pillar to me as the Nigerian Governors Forum's Chairman and Ekiti Stàte's Governor.

"I have been enjoying unflinching, consistent support and solidarity from my blossom friend, the Kebbi State Governor, and our indefatigable Chairman.

"With such tempo of support, I am sure we will triumph over our challenges in this country," Fayemi, said.

He said his visit was to felicitate the government and people of Kebbi State on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

"We pray that God in His infinite mercy will continue to watch over us, watch over our people, watch over our country at a time that requires a lot for us to overcome whatever issues we are dealing with", he said.

In his response, Governor Abubakar Bagudu described Fayemi as a reliable friend and ally of Kebbi state, both as the NGF Chairman and Ekiti Stàte Governor.

He also recalled that when Fayemi was the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, no fewer than 20,000 artisans miners from the state were registered.

"They are now conducting their activities on environmentally friendly and legal bases and this has boosted the economy of the state and that of Nigeria," Bagudu said.

He stated that Fayemi has been leading the NGF, equitably and justly, adding that, he has been fighting for all.

"He has visited several states to support governors who are challenged, including Kebbi. This is his third visit to the state as NGF Chairman, while he had visited before.

" People from other parts of Nigeria are living in Ekiti state peacefully and they are enjoying everything equitably," Bagudu added.


Bagudu said in the nation's democratic process, Fayemi did the unusual in 2014 where both observers and fair-minded public commentators believed that he won the hotly contested election in Ekiti State but he decided to relinquish power to his opponent saying if that was the wish of Ekiti people let it be.

"That magnanimity was rewarded by Ekiti people who returned him enthusiastically. Equally for us in Kebbi we remember him for his role in helping to boost our economy as Minister of Solid Minerals and his belief each part of Nigeria has something to contribute to national growth", Bagudu said.
