Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has commended people of the state for the unflinching support accorded him during an attempt was made by the APC lawmakers to impeach him.

The Governor, in a broadcast on Thursday said though it was a very traumatic period, the people with one voice stood and protected the mandate given to him.

The Governor noted that the period of the crises could have been used for the development of the state, saying with the victory against the attempted impeachment, he would now squarely face the business of governance.

Fayose promised to embark on fulfilling his campaign promises despite the current financial situation, saying the welfare of the people will continue to be his priority.

His said: “The last few months have been traumatic, especially this week. I was not given room for concentration, but I had left the battle for God to fight. I told those planning to impeach me that they will succeed‎ if they can impeach God.

“I did not bring myself back to power, my coming back after eight years is divine. I defeated the APC totally in all the elections, still they did not want to concede victory easily until when Ekiti people rose to defend that June 21 mandate.

“I will now squarely face the business of governance.”

He explained that he would not waste time on revenge, noting that he was not ready to muscle anyone since God had given him victory in all of the battles that confronted him.

The governor called on the people to gather at Ijigbo junction tomorrow (Friday) from where he would lead them on victory walk to the State House of Assembly for the inauguration of the new House of Assembly members.
