I was a danfo driver –Governor Fayose

While speaking at the swearing-in of the new State Executive of the Employers Association of Nigeria in Ekiti state on Thursday July 30, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose appealed to union members to avoid being used for kidnapping purposes in the state. He cited example of how he used to be a danfo driver before becoming what he is today. He said;
“Please, I want to commend you for contributing immensely to the development of the state’s economy, but don’t allow yourselves to be used by evil doers. You can see that some kidnappers were paraded recently. Information from them revealed that they have been using some of your members.


I was once a driver like you. I used the money I got from driving to sponsor myself for HND at Ibadan Polytechnic, but I did not get desperate. All I’m saying is that being a driver you can make it in life. You will become what you want to become in life with hard work. Don’t join evil gang for you to get rich overnight, try and rise through the ladder like we did.”
