Ekiti State Governor-elect, Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji on
Wednesday visited the Lagos residence of former Governor of the State, Mr Ayodele
Fayose.
Oyebanji said the visit was to extend his courtesies to
Fayose as a former governor of the state, who, according to him, demonstrated
statesmanship by congratulating him shortly after he was declared winner of the
June 18 election.
Former Governor Fayose, while receiving Oyebanji urged him
to be magnanimous in victory and see himself as the leader of the people
regardless of their political affiliation.
He promised to support Oyebanji’s administration in whatever
area his support would be needed, adding that the development of Ekiti State is
a collective effort.
It is recalled that Oyebanji had earlier gone on a thank you
visit to the Governor of the State, Dr Kayode Fayemi in Ado-Ekiti, a day after
the incumbent Governor led two other APC governors to visit him at his Ikogosi
Ekiti country home.
The Governor-elect has also visited the first civilian
Governor of the state, currently Minister of Investments, Trade and Industry,
Otunba Niyi Adebayo, at his Iyin-Ekiti country home earlier in the week.
He had earlier also visited Chief Deji Fasuan, the
nonagenarian elder statesman who chaired the committee for the creation of
Ekiti State, under whom he served as Secretary (to the committee) as well as
the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, HRM, Oba Rufus Adeyemo Adejugbe.
