After the Ekiti State Election, some many people have been sending their greeting and  also congratulating Mr. Ayodele Fayose for his victory. President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday also congratulated the Governor-Elect of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over what he described as his overwhelming victory in Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

The president also urged Fayose to avail himself of the second chance provided for him to build an administration that would ensure the interests of all Ekiti people is being carried along.
In a statement issued by his special adviser on media and publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, Jonathan also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Security Services and the people of Ekiti State for the successful and peaceful conduct of the elections.
This, he said, was in line with  his administration’s a vowed commitment to ensuring that elections in all parts of Nigeria are progressively free, fairer and more credible.

Abati stated: “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.

“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.”
