The Nigeria
Governors’ Forum (NGF), an umbrella body for governors of the 36 states, has
wished Ayodele Fayose, outgoing governor in Ekiti, luck in his new endeavour.
The
forum said this in a congratulatory message to Kayode Fayemi, winner of the
state gubernatorial election.
Fayemi
defeated Kolapo Olusola, deputy governor of the state, who contested the
election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Abdulaziz
Yari, governor of Zamfara who also serves as the chairman said “elections are
usually healthy contests that determine who keeps the mantle of leadership in
the state for a certain period of time and not a victor and vanquished affair.”
He
said all contestants, regardless of their party manifesto, primarily are agents
of governance that wish to move the welfare and wellbeing of their people to
the next level.
“The
NGF chairman, while wishing the out-going governor of Ekiti State Mr. Peter
Ayodele Fayose, luck in his new endeavour and stating that the NGF would miss
his invaluable contributions at its meetings, also welcomes the in-coming
governor to the forum to which he is returning as a ranking and experienced
member,” the statement read.
