"Across the local governments in Ekiti, we have over 10,000 tailors, the loan will go far at N20,000 each, you will be paying back little by little so that others too can access and borrow later.
"You have proved to me that if you have better opportunities, you will make use of it, it is my duty to encourage you, I must encourage you. You are important members of our society, you are not noisemakers, you are hard working and good looking, we are together", the governor said.

Some of them who said the association has never had it so good under any other administration prayed for the success of the Ayodele Fayose administration with a reassurance of continuous support come rain, come shine.
