Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, in an event yesterday said when advising the audience that he was once a ‘danfo driver’.

He said this on during the swearing-in of the new State Executive of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria in Ado Ekiti.

He urged them to always respect road regulations, avoid reckless driving and also obey the ‘don’t drink and drive’ rule.

He said, “Please, I want to commend you for contributing immensely to the development of the state’s economy, but don’t allow yourselves to be used by evil doers. You can see that some kidnappers were paraded recently. Information from them revealed that they have been using some of your members.

“I was once a driver like you. I used the money I got from driving to sponsor myself for HND at Ibadan Polytechnic, but I did not get desperate. All I’m saying is that being a driver you can make it in life. You will become what you want to become in life with hard work.

“Don’t join evil gang for you to get rich overnight; try and rise through the ladder like we did. Though I am part of you, if you breach the law, I won’t save or spare you. You will be arrested and prosecuted by the security agents,” he said.

The governor, who recalled that he united the two unions- the RTEAN and the National Union of Road and Transport Workers, during his first term, said the occasion was a sign that good things were coming to Ekiti.

“We should emulate this kind of occasion. This is very good. We will always identify with this kind of achievements. You are doing a good job for this country. I don’t want to be the enemies of drivers, I want to be your friend”, he added.

He also thanked the unions for standing by him during the failed impeachment
