Breaking News:- Gov. Fayemi Accept Defeat, Congratulates Fayose As The New Governor Of Ekiti State

Former Governor of Ekiti state and the
All Progressives Congress, APC
gubernatorial candidate for the just
concluded Ekiti governorship election
has congratulated Ayo Fayose, Ekiti
Governor-elect while also biding the
good people of Ekiti farewell.
In a statement issued this Sunday
morning, Fayemi said,
” If indeed this is the will of the
Ekiti People, I stand in
deference to your will. If the
result of the elections is an
expression of the voice of our
people, we must all heed your
voice.I have just spoken with
my brother, Mr. Peter Ayodele
Fayose, congratulating him on
his victory. In a few hours from
now, I would be meeting the
Governor-elect to discuss the
future of our dear state and how
we would work together to
institute a smooth transition
programme.”.
“It has been a hard fought
election. As expected, in the
course of the campaigns, there
were unsavory episodes as the
candidates toured the nooks
and crannies of the state to sell
ourselves to the people.
Elections tend to be highly
divisive affairs that often see
brother rising against brother.
Despite our diverse party
affiliations, and regardless of
which way we voted on
Saturday, we must remember
that we are all sons and
daughters of Ekiti State. Ekiti is
ours to build together.
“On our part, over the course of
the campaigns, we presented
our scorecards before the
people of Ekiti State. We never
at any point took your support
for granted. We campaigned,
we canvassed and we traversed
the nooks and crannies of this
State. Our performance and
achievements in office will
remain the backdrop against
which the next government and
indeed future governments will
be assessed. We are proud that
with the support of Ekiti people,
we have raised the bar of
excellence in governance. In all,
we gave our best, for
conscience and for posterity.
“Indeed a new sociology of the
Ekiti people may have evolved.
However, the task of
understanding how the
outcome of this election has
defined us as a people will be
that of scholars. For us as an
administration and a cadre of
political leaders in Ekiti State,
we have fought a good fight,
we have kept faith.
“To members of our party, our
campaign team and indeed all
Ekiti people who defied the
siege on our state to cast their
votes for our party, I salute your
exemplary courage and
doggedness in the face of
harassment. Thank you for
staying the course. The
incidences of brazen
harassment, intimidation and
allied infractions on
fundamental humanrights,
which many of you suffered in
the hands of agents of the
state, would be documented
and communicated to the
appropriate authorities, for the
records.
I thank you all for listening.
May God bless the land of honour,
Ekiti State, Nigeria.
May God bless the Federal Republic
of Nigeria.
