A House of Representatives member representing the Ekiti North Federal Constituency II, Ekiti State, Akinlayo Kolawole, on Sunday, canvassed more prayers for the country’s leaders to help in their leadership roles rather than unnecessary criticisms and fault findings.
The Federal lawmaker commended the people of the state for cooperating with Governor Biodun Oyebanji and ensuring a peaceful atmosphere despite calls for a nationwide protest.
Kolawole, who urged citizens to exercise patience, said “the All Progressives Congress government in Nigeria will continue to put in place necessary instruments capable of promoting the people’s well-being and the country’s development.
“The working plans of the APC in Nigeria, if allowed to be fully implemented, with patience on the citizens’ part, will bring about the needed development across all nooks and crannies of the country for the benefit of all.
“For this to materialise requires an atmosphere of peace in the country. Nigerian leaders need more prayers and support from the citizens.”
The lawmaker hailed the Ekiti people for conducting themselves peacefully and shunning the protest, saying, “This development has again proved to the world that Ekiti people cherish the developmental efforts of Governor Oyebanji across the state above personal gains.
