The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has formally endorsed the appointment of former Governor Ayodele Fayose as Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), describing the role as a national assignment and expressing confidence in his ability.
The endorsement follows the ex-governor’s appointment by President Bola Tinubu in mid-July to head the federal agency.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Oluwafemi Philips, the PDP in Ekiti said its State Working Committee unanimously resolved to release the former governor to undertake the assignment, adding that the decision had been communicated to the party’s National Working Committee.
According to the party, Mr Fayose’s appointment reflects his experience in public administration and leadership, qualities it believes will contribute to expanding electricity access to underserved rural communities across the country.
“The State Working Committee unanimously approved the decision to release His Excellency, Ayodele Fayose, for this important national assignment,” the statement said.
