The president says the new governor
should see his second coming a divine mandate.
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
heartily congratulates the Governor-Elect of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on his overwhelming victory in Saturday’s
governorship election in the state.
President Jonathan also commends the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the Security Services and the
good people of Ekiti State for the successful and peaceful conduct of the
elections in keeping with the present administration’s avowed commitment to
ensuring that elections in all parts of Nigeria are progressively freer, fairer
and more credible.
As Mr. Fayose readies himself to
assume office in fulfilment of the clearly expressed wish of his people,
President Jonathan urges him to be humble and magnanimous in victory and commit
himself to forming an administration that will work for the advancement of the
interests of all Ekiti people irrespective of their political affiliations or
loyalties.
President Jonathan calls on Mr.
Fayose to regard his second chance to serve as Governor of Ekiti State as a
sacred mandate from God Almighty and his people which he must discharge with
immense dedication, wisdom and vigour to achieve a much more rapid pace of
socio-economic development in Ekiti State for the benefit of its people who
resoundingly reaffirmed their trust in his leadership by voting overwhelmingly
for his election yesterday.
The President assures Mr. Fayose
that the Federal Government will give all necessary support and assistance to
his incoming administration and cooperate fully with him in furtherance of the
present administration’s objective of significantly improving the living
conditions of Nigerians in all parts of the country.
He wishes Mr. Fayose continued good
health and a very successful second tenure as governor of Ekiti State.
