commend the now outgoing-Governor, Kayode Fayemi, and his team whose
progressive leadership in Ekiti made it possible for APC to retain government
for the next four years. I am confident that the Governor will finish well and
strong.
“While thanking the people of Ekiti once again for standing
by APC, I urge them and indeed the generality of Nigerians to continue to
maintain their faith and confidence in our party.”
