Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, spoke to journalists in Abuja on Thursday and defended his “stomach infrastructure concept”.
Explaining that stomach infrastructure does not only mean sharing of food and money to the people, he said: “I also go to beer parlour on Friday to stay with the common men there. Governance is not church; it is about diverse characters and you must relate with them as such.
“Christmas is coming. Why do people go out of their ways to be shopping or doing other things if it is not just to make people merry?
“So, I’m grooming chicken, buying rice, yams, plantain, and the rest of them. I am sure if I give it to families during the festive period, they will be happy. So, stomach infrastructure is a way of life.”
He added: “So, my style without apology is that stomach infrastructure is a way of life for me, I will relate well with my people to alleviate poverty and hunger”.
“Stomach infrastructure is very important in the life of a man. If
you look at Britain, as rich and as comfortable as they are, in the
entire time, they find their way to address the issue of the poor and
less privileged people in their country by what they call social
security.
“Food is a social security; you can’t be talking to a
hungry man; he would be distracted by any means. So, when we say
stomach infrastructure, it is a welfare programme, a programme that
would keep the heart of a man stable.”
