Former Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, has assured the governor-elect, Biodun Oyebanji of his support in moving Ekiti forward.
Telescope.ng reports that Fayose told the governor-elect to be magnanimous in victory and perceive himself as the Governor of Ekiti State and leader of the people regardless of their political affiliations.
The former governor spoke Wednesday, June 28, while playing host to Oyebanji, who paid him a visit after winning the June 18 Governorship election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The visit was sequel to the congratulatory messages sent to Oyebanji by the People Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the June 18 election, Bisi Kolawole and ex-governor Fayose respectively, hailing the outcome of the election.
He defeated other candidates in the election, including Segun Oni of the Social Democratic Party and the Fayose-backed Bisi Kolawole of the People’s Democratic Party.
Fayose said: “I promise to support Oyebanji’s administration in whatever area his support would be needed. The development of Ekiti State is a collective effort. You have to see all Ekiti people as your own. You are the governor of all regardless of political affiliations.”
Oyebanji said the visit was to extend courtesies to Fayose as a former governor of the state, who, according to him, demonstrated statesmanship by congratulating him shortly after he was declared winner of the June 18 election.
