MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FAYOSE CORDIAL ---------------------- EWI

The Ewi of Ado Ekiti in Ekiti State, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, has said that the relationship between him and the former Ekiti State governor and 2014 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Peter Ayodele Fayose, is cordial and perfect.

The Ewi, who stated this when the former governor paid him homage at his palace last Friday, said neither the Ewi nor Ado was against Fayose.

According to a press statement issued by Fayose’s spokesman, Idowu Adelusi, and made available to the press in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, Oba Adejugbe said he doesn’t think or talk about the past, stressing that the past has gone with inadequacies.

However, the monarch enjoined all the parties’ candidates to conduct peaceful campaign, saying all eyes were focused on Ekiti.

He added: “We don’t want fight, violence and killing in Ekiti State, what we want is peace and progress. All eyes are on us whether we are going to kill ourselves.”

Quoting from I Corinthians 13 Vs 1-9, the Ewi implored Ekiti people to love one another, shun violence and killing, stressing that the state can move forward if there is peace.

Earlier, Fayose, who was well received by the Ewi and the chiefs, told the monarch that he had not come as a candidate but rather to pay homage to the Kabiyesi, adding that he would still come back to present himself as candidate during which he would ask for royal blessing.

He praised the Ewi for being magnanimous at forgiving him his wrong doings of the past, saying he was now “a better Fayose,” more responsible, mature and responsive, promising never to allow anybody to stand between him and the Ewi.

The PDP candidate said, “I urge you Kabiyesi to forgive and forget the past so that tomorrow can come. I will accord you the desired respect and recognition if you offer me another chance. It is my detractors that stood between me and your royal majesty.”
