A 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.
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.
He apologised to all aggrieved
members whom he said he might have wronged while in government.
According to him, the PDP must be
repositioned 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.
