Ekiti State: Fayose dedicates victory to Ekiti people

The Ekiti state governor-elect, Ayodele Fayose, on Sunday dedicated his Saturday’s governorship election victory to the people of the state. He told the journalists in Ado-Ekiti that his victory reflected the wishes of the people of the state.

The governor-elect, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, described the election that produced him as free, fair and credible. He promised to improve the living standard of the people by providing job opportunities and making education affordable.

Also reacting, the Labour Party’s candidate, Opeyemi Bamidele, said, “I am not desperate to be governor.”

Mr. Bamidele, however, said that he remained a credible alternative for the position of governor in the state.

Asked whether he regretted not collaborating with Mr. Fayose in prosecuting the election, Mr. Bamidele said he turned down the request because he still had the ambition of becoming the governor of the state.

The Incumbent Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has also congratulated the Governor-elect, promised to arrange a meeting with him soon on the way forward for the Ekiti state.
