Founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola (SAN), has praised the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose for his zeal to restore the lost glory of the educational sector in the state.
The legal luminary, who commented on the Education Summit organised by the state government, said a similar one organised during Fayose’s first term, really improved the standard of education in the state and catapulted it to one of the best in the country.
In a press release in Ado-Ekiti, on Saturday, by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Aare Babalola recalled that the governor organised a summit 12 years ago which yielded fruits as shown by the performance of students from the state in public examinations.
On why he is throwing his weight behind the governor and the summit, Aare Babalola said: “I must say nobody must have any doubt about my position. I love this man; I love him because we have something in common. He’s a man of action.
“I love him because he’s a realistic man. He’s dynamic, he’s fearless, and when he says yes, it is yes; when he says no, it is no. This man is energetic and you need an energetic person to carry out anything you want to do.
“If you care to watch the television recently, particularly what Mrs Adeyemo showed us, you would agree with me that the 2003 Summit was a success, the follow-up was a success and Governor Fayose’s administration during the period was a success.”
“If you ever go to court of law, when a judgment is going to be read in respect of a case where five judges preside, the presiding judge will ask the person who wrote the judgment to read it, then he’ll ask the second, what’s your own view, if he agrees, he will say I agree, if the second one disagrees, he will read out his own judgment which is contradictory to the majority one. When everybody has been consulted and the majority of them say the plaintiff has won, that’s the judgment of the court.’’
