Any Man Beating His Wife, Should Be Medically Examined – Governor Fayose

Ayodele Faroese, Ekiti State Governor has warned
men to desist from poor treatment of women and urged
husbands to take adequate care of their wives.

Fayose, who described women as the mirrors through
which the society sees their husbands, said any man
found beating up his wife, should be medically examined
to ascertain the state of his mental health.
He stated this in Ado-Ekiti during an interactive session
with primary school teachers and local government
workers.

In a statement on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr
Idowu Adelusi, the governor also likened women to a bed,
saying a man would lie on the bed the way he had laid it.
The governor, who was not pleased with the shoes worn
by some female participants, ordered his aides to bring
shoes for them. The governor helped the lucky women to put on the shoes.

Fayose, who celebrated women in the state in an
unprecedented manner last March during the
International Women’s Day, said women were a special
breed that must be protected from domestic violence and
human trafficking.

“Those who beat up their wives are only bringing curses
on their heads. A woman is a reflection of her husband
and how her husband treats her. They are delicate and
must be treated as such. Our administration has been
consistent in implementing policies and programmes that
are designed to make life better for them.
“Any good done to a woman is done to the whole family.
We must accord them their due respect,” he said.
The governor also used the occasion to brief the people
on the finances of the state.

He explained that state and local governments operate
different accounts and that he would never tamper with
local government account.
