Former Governor of Ekiti State Mr. Ayodele Fayose has said that he hope
that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will patronise ‘barbing saloons in
Ajegunle Lagos, Baga in Borno or those armed bandits controlled towns in
Zamfara.’
Fayose reacting to Osinbajo’s visit to Luxor Salon
and Spar, Wuse 2, where he had a haircut and one on one interaction with
barbers, customers and residents of the area who trooped out to welcome
him to their neighbourhood said: ‘It is only election fever that will
drive a VP to that high class barbing saloon in Abuja, something he
never did in the last three & half years.
‘I hope to see the
VP patronising barbing saloons in Ajegunle Lagos, Baga in Borno or those
armed bandits controlled towns in Zamfara.’
Professor Osinbajo
on Thursday visited New Kushingoro Village, a suburb of FCT, in
continuation of his family chats ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Osinbajo, who spoke partly in Pidgin English, explained to the residents
of the community that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration
was doing a lot to impact on the life of the common man.
He said that TraderMoni was on the schemes deployed by the government to help petty traders.
Osinbajo said that since majority of the residents were farmers, a similar programme would be deployed to empower them.
“TraderMoni
wey we dey give, na for people wey dey sell for market. Everybody dey
farm; we go see how we go help for farm because President Buhari wants
to see how he will help common man.
“Anybody wey dey work; wey
dey try to look for work; he go see how him go help them make find work;
make them find money do the work; “If na farm you dey farm, how we go
help you with your farm.’’ Jubilant women of the village sang and danced
in appreciation of the vice president’s visit.
Earlier at the
Abuja Games Village, Osinbajo visited the family of Dr Olatunji-David
Sanwo where he had a warm chat with the family and restated the
government’s commitment to addressing challenges confronting the
country.
Speaking with newsmen, Hajia Aisha Musa, Environmental
Secretary, Games Village Association, said she was excited that the vice
president visited the estate. She pledged to moblise 7,000 residents of
the estate to the president 100 per cent of their votes in the
forthcoming election.
Another resident, Mr James Green, said
that the visit was a welcome development as it was not common for a vice
president to visit a neighbourhood to find how the residents fared.
Osinbajo also took out time to visit a Suya spot (skewered slices of meat) in the estate where he patronised the seller.
Afterwards,
Osinbajo headed to Luxor Salon and Spar, Wuse 2, where he had a haircut
and one on one interaction with barbers, customers and residents of the
area who trooped out to welcome him to their neighbourhood.
He advised them to vote wisely as the Buhari-led administration was determined to empower the youths and root out poverty. (NAN)
