The state governor and APC candidate in the June 21 governorship election, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, while campaigning for votes at Okemesi in Ekiti West Local Government Area announced that school pupils would be getting free meals at the commencement of new academic year.
Besides, the governor stated that teachers in public schools would have the opportunity of overseas training to further motivate them and build their capacity to perform better.
Fayemi said these policies would come on stream if he is re-elected at the governorship poll.
Teachers, students, youths and old people benefiting from the state government hailed the governor for giving them better life and bringing change to their communities.
Fayemi, who welcomed defectors from PDP and LP, described APC as a party of peace and progress that has the interest of the masses at heart, alleging that PDP mismanaged resources during its stint in power.
The governor said that the state witnessed political instability when PDP was in power as the party produced seven governors in seven years, urging the electorate not to return to such era.
The APC standard bearer reminded the audience that former governor, Ayo Fayose, had three deputies before his impeachment while the state also had three House of Assembly Speakers and three Chief Judges.
He explained that the legacies of his administration could be seen in renovation of schools, construction of palaces, renovation of hospitals, payment of monthly stipends to old people.
The governor's promise to implement free feeding in public schools and sponsorship of teachers to courses abroad drew a deafening ovation from teachers and students at the rally.
