President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan heartily congratulates the Governor-Elect of
Ekiti State, Mr. 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 fulfillment 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.
