Why I Apologised To Ekiti People – Fayose

Ekiti governor, Ayodele Fayose has explained why he begged for forgiveness from the people of the state, especially the 19 aggrieved All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers..Speaking through one of his media aides, Mr. Lere Olayinka,he told Encomuim

“Governor Fayose is the number one person in Ekiti as of today. He is a leader per excellence. He must not see himself trading words with any individual or group.

“Although, his statement is political, it’s just to ensure there is peace in the land. But let me tell you, the case of the 19 lawmakers is zero. Omirin himself couldn’t come to Ekiti to vote during the election. He was in Idanre throughout the period. Why must he run from the people he claims he loves?

“They are all afraid because they are not only fighting Fayose, they are fighting the people of Ekiti State. They are fighting the artisans, students, workers, National Union of Road Transport Workers and others. And how can you be fighting your people and win them? How do you fight the wind and win? It’s not possible.

“They should be moving freely if they are sure of the cause they are pursuing. If there is anyone that should be afraid after the governor himself, I think it should be me but I am so free. As I speak to you now, I just finished eating and drinking and I am driving home freely. I am from Oke Mesi. I can’t say I am afraid of my people, I now run away from them. That means my hands are not clean. They should check themselves.”

Just like I said, Fayose’s action to apologise to the people of Ekiti doesn’t mean he’s afraid of anybody but to create an avenue for dialogue so that the state can move forward.”
