EkitiDecides: I’ll work with Fayemi, Bamidele – Fayose
The governor-elect of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayo Fayose, on Sunday
thanked the people of the state for voting for him and
promised to work with Governor Kayode Fayemi in
developing the state.
Fayose spoke at a maiden news conference in Ado-Ekiti after
he was declared the winner of Saturday’s gubernatorial
election by INEC.
The governor-elect recorded a resounding victory with a total
vote haul of 203,090 out of the 350,256 votes cast.
Fayose, who called on other candidates to support his
administration, warned his supporters against making
disparaging remarks which may promote violence.
He particularly
warned against
attacks on the
personality of the
incumbent
governor, Dr.
Kayode Fayemi,
saying, “we must
respect each other
so as to allow
peace to reign in
our dear state.”
“Governor
Fayemi has called to congratulate me and I am determined to
reciprocate this humble and kind gesture,” Fayose said.
Fayose also pledged to work in particular with Fayemi and
Opeyemi Bamidele of Labour Party in order to draw from
their wealth of experience.
The governor-elect also said indigenes of the state would
benefit from award of contracts, saying this would boost the
local economy and create employment.
Fayose further promised to assist all victims of political
violence during the election without consideration for party
affiliation.
