GOVERNANCE MEANS TACKLING REAL PROBLEM FOR THOSS WHO DEMAND RESULTS DAILY- FAYEMI. (PHOTO).


 Governance means tackling real problem for those who demand results daily- Fayemi 


Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has highlighted the difference between contesting for electoral offices and actually governing or legislating people.


According to Fayemi, when running for office, contestants often claim to know better than those in power, presenting grand visions and promises of swift change if elected, which are rarely scrutinised or challenged. 


However, winning the election marks the start of a different reality, Fayemi stated.


He added that governing or legislating means tackling real problems for real people who expect solutions daily.


The former Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, disclosed these while speaking during the retreat for Southwest Speakers and Principal Officers of State Houses of Assembly in Ikogosi-Ekiti.


Fayemi however gave the highlights in a post he shared via his X handle on Sunday, November 24.


He partly wrote: “When running for office, contestants often claim to know better than those in power, presenting grand visions and promises of swift change if elected. Rarely are these claims scrutinised or challenged. However, winning the election marks the start of a different reality. 


“Governing or legislating means tackling real problems for real people who expect solutions daily. Campaign poetry gives way to the hard, unseen work of governance, where good intentions are not enough—people demand immediate results.


“There are many assumptions about what happens in states and local governments. While those in government, whether in the executive or legislature, may appear omniscient from the outside, they often feel stretched to their limits by the weight of expectations and the complexity of meeting them. 


“This challenge formed the crux of my keynote address on ‘Strengthening Democratic Governance at Subnational Level’ during the retreat for Southwest Speakers and Principal Officers of State Houses of Assembly in Ikogosi-Ekiti.”
