Fayose, Fayemi meet: “They said my congratulatory message to the Governor-elect is unafrican or unNigerian.'' -Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi

“They said my congratulatory message to the Governor-elect is unafrican or unNigerian. I don’t think it was so because that was what I was expected to do as a democrat.”

“As an elected officer, I have no choice than to respect the wishes of the people.

”Our democracy is fragile and we have to do whatever we can
as leaders to strengthen and deepen it the more.”

“Ekiti is also unique. We all have ties dated back to centuries, so we are not disagreeable in any way”.

“Today, Ekiti is victorious. We have shown the world that politics can be played with decorum and restraint. But I have to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people until October 16, so we have to plead with our supporters to exercise restraint.”

Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi and governor-elect, Mr. Ayodele Fayose met in the Governor’s Office in Ado Ekiti yesterday and promised to forge a unity among themselves and the people of the state.
