Fayemi steps aside for primary school pupil (PHOTOS)
Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti state, stepped aside briefly on Wednesday for Daniel Olutope, a 7-year-old pupil whom he met two months ago.
Accompanied by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, the governor had visited St. Michael’s African Primary School, Ado-Ekiti, for the launch of the national homegrown school feeding programme in the state.
Olutope was said to have chatted intelligently with Fayemi, which made the governor request to be his friend.
The 7-year-old pupil reportedly agreed to the governor’s request and promised to visit him.
In a series of tweets, the state government narrated the encounter between the governor and the boy.

“Daniel agreed and promised that his mother will bring him on a visit. However, Mrs Oluwatoyin Olutope Adaramodu, Daniel’s mum did not believe her son when he got home and told his mum that his new friend, Mr Governor, invited him to visit,” one of the tweets read.
“A few months after the meeting, Governor Fayemi instructed his aides to re-visit Daniel’s school and bring him to his office.
“Daniel was accompanied by his mother, Mrs Oluwatoyin Olutope & his teacher, Mrs Dupe Adeosun to the Governor’s office in Ado Ekiti for what turned into an opportunity for young Daniel to briefly act as Governor.
“Do you remember me, the man who lives on top of the hill?” Dr fayemi asked Daniel on arrival to which he responded, “yes”. He then led Daniel to his desk & lifted him into his chair, pulled him to his desk & shook his hand “Your Excellency sir”, @kfayemi fondly addressed him.”
Fayemi encouraged Daniel, whom he said would also like to be a governor, to work hard and face his studies for his dream to come true.
Adaramodu Olutope , Daniel’s mother, appreciated the governor for the opportunity, adding that it was a sign that her child could rise to a great height.
Adeosun, Daniel’s teacher, also appreciated the governor for inviting her alongside the pupil.
She urged teachers across the country to raise the hopes of their pupils by assuring them that they could become great personalities in the future.
