Fayose, who spoke at his
Afao Ekiti country home at a peace meeting he convened with party members
across the 16 local governments, urged them to put the past behind them.
The former governor of Ekiti,
Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday urged members of the state chapter of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) who may be aggrieved by any of his actions in the past
to forgive him.
According to him, the PDP
must be re-positioned ahead of future elections in the state and that nothing
should be too much a sacrifice for anyone to make.
”We are on a mission to
reposition the party because truly we need a new attitude as members of this
party. We must tell ourselves the truth that there is nothing to share in
failure and we must join hands to achieve something tangible. I know some
persons are aggrieved and I know we are humans. I apologise to all those that I
have offended
”Let us come together in
unity for this our party not to die in this state. That is my priority as the
leader. I am doing this after one year of leaving office just to allow the
present All Progressives Congress (APC) to display what they have for the
people and you can all see for yourselves. I am not here for my selfish
interest but just to ensure this party does not fail,” Fayose said.
The former governor, who
used the meeting to officially congratulate Sen. Biodun Olujimi, on her recent
victory as the lawmaker representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, noted
that she remained a leader of the party in the state.
”Everybody should come back
to the party. I am open to reconciliation. If Sen. Biodun Olujimi calls you for
meeting tomorrow, go there and listen to her. All of us are leaders, don’t let
us factionalise this party. I am congratulating her (Olujimi) and I don’t have
any issue with her and I am sorry for what happened in the past,” he said.
