Ekiti Election: NGF congratulates Fayose, Fayemi
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, has congratulated the
newly elected Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on his
election at the just concluded gubernatorial elections in Ekiti
state.
The forum in a statement by its Director General, Ashishana
Okauru, on Tuesday in Abuja also commended the people of
Ekiti for their conduct during the election.
“We also congratulate the incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi
for demonstrating a rare spirit of sportsmanship by accepting
the outcome of the election and promising to work with Mr.
Fayose to take Ekiti state forward,” the NGF said.
It also said the people of the Ekiti have made all Nigerians
proud by demonstrating, again, that the citizens, on their own
can choose their leaders on their own terms, in an ordered
manner.
“The peaceful conduct of the election assures us all that the
future of democracy is bright.
“We commend the handling of the election by the Independent
National Electoral Commission [INEC]. We urge all other
national institutions and security agencies to emulate INEC,
eschew partisanship and learn to discharge their responsibilities
with professionalism. They should put their services at the
disposal of all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliations.
“We call on the governor-elect to see the election as one in
which there is no victor and no vanquished. We urge him to put
behind him the acrimony and controversy that characterized
electioneering in the state in the past few months and begin to
work out a master plan to give quality governance to the people
of the state.
“We trust that Mr. Fayose will demonstrate the requisite large-
heartedness to warm up to all Ekiti people irrespective of their
political affiliations,” it said.
