Newly elected governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose is full of gratitude to God for giving him a second chance to rule the people of Ekiti.
During a thanksgiving service held in his honour at the Deeper Life Campground in Ado Ekiti, the new governor reportedly laid flat on the floor, prostrating in appreciation to God.
In his speech at the service, Fayose said having a second chance was a rare opportunity, adding that he had forgiven those who were behind his removal from office in 2006 and those who persecuted him while out of office, Punch reports.
The governor said: “If this time has been in Bible days, my name would have been one of the names to be recorded as those who God gave a second chance.
“My return to government is not common in history. It is a rare miracle. During the seven-and-a- half years of my political wilderness, I was taken to court over what I knew nothing about 59 times, aside the 45
‘This time my mission is to look after Ekiti people and not to fight anybody. I will not allow this position to go into my head or use it to oppress anybody. I don’t have anybody in mind to punish or any political battle to fight.
“I won’t take vengeance, vengeance belongs to God. Be assured I will be warm to you. But you too turn away from evil so that the state can develop.”
