Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he is ready for
dialogue with his opponents to bring peace to the state.
He also asked for forgiveness from those he might have offended,
saying "nobody is perfect."
Fayose spoke on Friday at a special prayer session organised for him
by the Ansar-udeen Mosque, Atikankan in Ado-Ekiti to celebrate his
recent electoral victory at the Supreme Court.
The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers of the Ekiti State House of
Assembly have issued a notice of impeachment to the governor, citing
eight impeachable offences.
The embattled Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, had last week Thursday
requested the state Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, to raise a
seven-man panel within seven days of receipt of the letter to
investigate Fayose and his deputy, Dr. Kolapo Olusola, over
allegations of impunity, violence and stalking among other
constitutional breaches.
Fayose said, "If they say someone has enemies, I'm number one in the
world. But God has been merciful and has been helping me to overcome
my challenges.
"I need your prayers because it will strengthen me more. I'm here in
the mosque to thank God.
"All I want is peace. I have a constitutionally guaranteed tenure. A
governor is judged by his achievements in office. All I'm interested
in is to bring development to my people. My opponents know if I have a
rest of mind I will achieve my objectives.
"All those I have offended should forgive me for the sake of the
masses and orphans. They should know people gave me the mandate.
Nobody is above mistake; they should forgive me."
The governor said a lot of people in the state had been living in
palpable fear of the unknown before the judgment of the Supreme Court.
"We are here to thank God and pray for peace. I'm appealing to those
aggrieved to please allow peace to reign.
"There is no perfect man. They should allow peace to reign. All I want
is peace that will energise development.
"Anything that can bring peace cannot be wished away. For me, I'm
ready to accommodate everybody. Whatever they want we can sit down and
talk."
Earlier before leading the prayers for the governor, the State
Missioner of the Ansarudeen Movement, Alhaji Liadi Adebayo, called on
politicians in the state to settle their differences.
He canvassed for peaceful co-existence of the entire people of the
State, irrespective of their political differences.
The Cleric urged residents to live together in harmony as politics was
not supposed to be a do or die affair.
