ADO-EKITI—Hausa community in Ekiti State has appealed Governor Kayode Fayemi to consider members for appointment in his cabinet to make the group have a sense of belonging in the state.

Operating under the umbrella of Arewa Community in Ekiti State, the group argued that most of its members were born in the state, while others have been resident for between 30 and 40 years.

Speaking in Ado-Ekiti, the leader of Hausa Community in Ekiti, Alhaji Adamu Lima, urged Fayemi  to emulate his colleague in Lagos State, Mr Babatunde  Raji Fasola who appointed non indigenes  into his cabinet.

He condemned the level of carnage being perpetrated by members of the Boko Haram sect and called on the group to shield their swords in the interest of peace.

The community reminded the governor of the promise he made in 2007 during his electioneering campaign that he would consider members for political appointment if he became the governor.

The group recounted of members  positive contribution to the development of the state, saying a political appointment would further cement the already cordial relationship existing between them and the state government
