By Valentine Amanze, Online Editor
The former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has forgiven all those who betrayed him politically, especially after he left office in 2018.
He also said that his memorable day was when he was illegally impeached from office as governor of Ekiti State.
“The day I was forced out of government was the day I will never forget. This incident gave me high blood pressure and I asked God for three months to know what went wrong.
“Another memorable day was when I was sworn in again as governor of Ekiti State,” he said.
Fayose disclosed these, while speaking on a radio programme to commemorate his 60th birthday on Our People’s FM, 104.1, Ado-Ekiti.
The former governor also advised politicians in Ekiti State to forget politics of bitterness for the interest and progress of the state.
He said that at 60, his desire was to be closer to God and be a preacher of His words.
Besides, Fayose thanked God for what He used him to achieve in the last 60 years, especially what he did when he was the governor of Ekiti State.
He however appealed to politicians to embark upon what would make people to remember them after leaving the position of authorities,
stressing that whatever they do today will become history tomorrow.
The former governor mentioned few among his achievements as the governor of Ekiti and that include; Amphi theatre at Ewi’s Palace, Ado-Ekiti, flyover bridge, Ado-Ikere road, High Court Complex in Ado, new and old governor’s office, Ministry of Finance Building and the new obas’ market in Ado-Ekiti.
On the rationale behind the stomach infrastructure programme, which he initiated when he was in office, Fayose said that coronavirus (COVID-19) palliative was stomach infrastructure.
Fayose, who defeated two incumbent governors, Otunba Niyi Adebayo and Dr. Kayode Fayemi in 2003 and 2014, respectively, said that he still believed he could be Nigeria’s president and that how it will happen is for God to decide.
