Fayose, who described women as the mirrors through which the society sees their husbands, said any man found beating his wife should be medically examined to ascertain the state of his mental health.
According to Punch, the Ekiti state governor stated this during an interactive session with primary school teachers and local government workers in Ado-Ekiti.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, on Friday, said the governor also likened women to a bed, which is as good as people make it.
The governor, who was not pleased with the shoes worn by some female participants, ordered his aides to bring shoes for them.
“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 the account of local governments in the state.
