EDITOR’S PICK:

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ayodele Fayose has disclosed that his government will appoint a Minister for Stomach Infrastructure if he becomes Nigeria’s President.

The former Ekiti State Governor said this to newsmen after presenting himself before the Presidential Screening Committee of the PDP on Friday, April 28, 2022.

Fayose said the committee asked about his stomach infrastructure policy when he was governor in Ekiti and he told them about his plan to replicate it if given the chance to lead the country.

“I made it clear that I will have a minister for stomach infrastructure and welfare of the people,” NAN quoted him as saying.

The presidential aspirant meanwhile, acknowledged that building roads and other critical infrastructure was important but argued that that is insufficient to please hungry citizens.

Fayose said, “So, for me stomach infrastructure is part of being supportive of the ordinary Nigerian. Stomach infrastructure under my watch as president of Nigeria, will be a major theme.

“No one is saying here that you will not do the needful in terms of developing the country, part of development is the welfare and well-being of the people.”

The former governor is one of the 17 aspirants that were screened by the committee on Friday.
