<b>Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, yesterday, lifted the dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed on Ado-Ekiti on May 22, following a civil disturbance. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The governor stated this in his broadcast to the people of the state in Ado-Ekiti. He said the state government had also placed ₦2 million reward for anybody that could provide information that will facilitate the arrest of those that kidnapped 11 people in different parts of the state recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He described the crisis between the Hausa community and commercial drivers in Ado-Ekiti that led to the imposition of the curfew as unfortunate. He urged residents to be law-abiding and conduct their activities in manner that would not cause further break down of law and order.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fayose said the state government lifted the curfew after security agents restored peace in the state. He expressed regret for the inconveniences the curfew might have caused the residents of the town. He said that kidnapping was strange to the state, warning that the state government would fight it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meantime, the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, yesterday, paid a visit to the state where he commiserated with the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, over the violent clash between members of commercial drivers and some traders of northern extraction in Ado Ekiti.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fayemi, who was accompanied by some members of his cabinet and received by the monarch and chiefs, said he was at the palace to identify with the monarch and his people over the unfortunate incident. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former governor equally paid similar visit to the Hausa community at Shasha, where they were relocated to by the Fayose government and the market where the inferno took place, promising that the incoming federal administration will assist affected traders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He condemned in strong terms the spate of kidnappings of professionals and other innocent people in the state. Fayemi lamented that all these had created negative image for the state, stressing that it was having its toll on the economic activities in the state. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his remarks, Oba Adejugbe thanked Fayemi for the visit urging him not to relent in his efforts to ensure that peace reigns in the state.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The All Progressives Congress (APC) today, in Abuja, unveiled the policy roadmaps of the incoming Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government. Below is the opening remarks delivered by former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, who is the Director of Policy and Research Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Protocols.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This event is the gratifying culmination of an assignment that commenced several months ago. The Directorate of Policy, Research and Strategy has been behind the scenes contributing our modest quota to the presidential campaign of our then candidate in the March 28, 2015 general election, and now president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari. Indeed, prior to this, some of us in the directorate had worked with other patriotic party members to develop a most compelling manifesto. We subsequently ensured the harmonisation of the manifesto with the personal ideals of our president-elect, thus creating a necessary coherence of all aspects of our party’s expressions, that lent a powerful clarity and focus to our message of change. It also involved articulating our message in a variety of ways and means accessible to all our people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our task, as we saw it, was to undergird our campaign with an intellectual and strategic rigour that positioned our party as the pre-eminent movement of ideas in the recently concluded electoral cycle. Our desire, right from the onset, was to open a new chapter in the annals of partisan politics in Nigeria – one that departed from the personality-centered incivilities of the most banal kind that characterized the electioneering season. We sought to inaugurate a new model of issues-based, principle-centered campaigning. We believed that the stakes had never been higher in our nation’s history of democratic politics, and a new approach was required. This new approach was evident in our disciplined refusal to depart from a laser-keen focus on the real issues affecting the Nigerian people rather than traffic in distractive rhetoric. Our approach focused on the electorate as being worthy of serious and sincere engagement and sought to bring clarity to the issues at stake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The outcome of the historic polls attests to the fact that not only did the right candidate and party triumph, the right ideas and the right approach also prevailed. The majority of Nigerians demonstrated their readiness to be taken seriously as voters, and duly rewarded the party that sincerely addressed their pressing issues. This commitment to seriously tackling the themes that affect the lives of our people remains a cardinal principle of our pact with Nigerians and informs the convening of this policy dialogue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can disclose with some pride that a majority of the lead presenters in this dialogue are members of the Directorate of Policy, Research and Strategy and have all been instrumental in crafting the policy priorities and propositions that helped decisively swing the fate of Africa’s largest democracy in favour of progressive forces. Our group has been one big family that has thought deeply and broadly about Nigeria. We conducted our work not in a spirit of competition but in one of collaborative problem-solving dedicated to a higher goal of giving our nation an unprecedented opportunity for progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a sense, the phase of policy conception is over and we are entering the phase of execution, governance, of providing tangible developmental deliverables. The challenge of translating ideas into policy and praxis now looms large. Given the degree of work that has been put in by the Directorate and our well documented national problems of policy implementation, the focus should now be on evolving an institutional framework to deliver the agenda for change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I indicated earlier, the Directorate of Policy, Research and Strategy customarily operates behind the scenes. This momentary exposure to the glare of the public is, in fact, our final curtain call. It has been the greatest honour to have served with an indefatigable corps of dedicated men and women who have for several months seized the day and burned the midnight oil in the cause of securing a progressive future for our nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish to thank my colleagues for their service and to thank the party for giving us the opportunity to serve and the president-elect for his faith in and encouragement of our efforts. On behalf of the Directorate, I also wish to express my gratitude to the Nigerian people for finding our ideals worthy of your trust.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you.</div>
