A
mild drama played out recently after an NYSC Corps member accosted
Governor Ayodele Fayose during his official inspection of a project and
was rewarded with an automatic employment.
A member of the National Youth Service Corpes (NYSC) identified as
Osamwonyi Bright Osas, a graduate of Political Science and Public
Administration, who sought a photograph with Ekiti State Governor, Ayo
Fayose, has gotten himself an automatic employment.
According to online reports, luck came his way as he encountered
the outspoken Ekiti State governor when he came to Ikere Ekiti for on
the spot assessment of the third phase ongoing Ado/Ikere road
dualization on Thursday 20th April, 2017.
Governor Fayose had finished the supervision and was on his way to his bus when Osas accosted him, "good
afternoon Mr. Governor, I am a native of Edo, I relocated from Adamawa
to Ekiti State because of my love for you, I follow everything you do
religiously online, I love you so much and I pray God take you higher
and higher. I graduated from UNIBEN with a first class in Political
Science and Public Administration, one thing I pray thee Sir, please
allow me snap with you Sir", Osas who was in NYSC outfit begged.
Without blinking an eyelid, the governor obliged and photographers
did the needful. Immediately after this, the unusual happened, "go to the provost tomorrow, tell her I asked her to give you automatic employment", Fayose said.
Osas who was overwhelmed by the governor's gesture went on his
kneels in appreciation, thanking God and governor Fayose for the favour.
Speaking with newsmen after the encounter, Osas said, "I am
overwhelmed seeing the governor of Ekiti State today, he's an amiable
leader and he is so down to service, when I was in school as an
undergraduate I do read many of his speeches on what governance should
be, on how to move Nigeria forward.
"I am in love with the fact that he's fearless, he discharges
his duties without fear or favour, that is one of the qualities I
cherish in him. I learnt from him that for you to rule successfully, you
must appreciate the common man, he is a very good friend of the masses,
seeing him come so close to the people inspires me, I was just coming
from my CDS now and I saw him here, I was so happy and I said I must see
him before he leaves and that was why I accosted him.
"I just thanked God for what happened now and I pray God bless
him abundantly. He has just called the provost that I should be
retained, that I should be given automatic employment, permanent
employment, he called the provost and the provost said first thing on
Monday I should come with my CV. I just want to appreciate governor
Fayose."
