​EKITI2018: Obasanjo Congratulates Fayemi on Election Victory


By Michael-Azeez Ogunsiji, Abeokuta 

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has congratulated the Ekiti State Governor -Elect, Dr.  Kayode Fayemi for his victory at the poll on Saturday. 

Obasanjo in a congratulatory letter described Fayemi’s victory as a reflection of his acceptability by the people and achievements recorded in his last reign as Governor. 

The former President in the personally signed four-paragraphs letter, therefore, urged Dr. Fayemi to strengthen the faith of the electorate in democracy by bringing improved material conditions and better service delivery for the citizens. 

Obasanjo who said he received the news of Fayemi’s victory on his way to Beijing, China on Sunday, advised Mr. Fayemi to be magnanimous in victory by extending hand of fellowship to other contestants at the election. 

The letter reads in part, “You will agree with me, no doubt, that the outcome of the election broadly reflect the choice of your people, who have,  by their conduct, visibly demonstrated that they cherished you and will do their utmost to make you succeed. I urge you, therefore, to reciprocate their trust by doing everything you can to strengthen their faith in democracy and its ability to being about improved material conditions and better service delivery to them. 

“You have fought and won the election and deserve to savour the victory. As you rejoice, however, I would urge that you should be magnanimous in victory and stretch a hand of fellowship to the other candidates who failed in their bid for elected office. Such a gesture is not only cherisable but should also help at this time to cool passions in the wider interest of Ekiti state in particular and Nigeria at large. 

“I felicitate with you, once again, on your renewed mandate and, as you prepare for another four years at the helm of affairs of Ekiti state, I extend best wishes for your good health and the continued progress of Ekiti state under your able leadership “.
