Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has revealed why he visited a former Governor of the state, Engr. Segun Oni.

Governor Fayose, through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said the visit was not a political move.

Fayose also said “Leadership comes first; Ekiti comes first and leadership is about sacrifice to make for the purpose of unity and development of his people. That is exactly what I am doing here.

“There is a difference between leadership and politics. To me, Ekiti comes first, every leader willing to make Ekiti first, I will visit him. I am the governor of the state and everybody is my subject.

“My visit to Segun Oni has nothing to do with politics. When it comes to how to move Ekiti forward, we must firstly remove our political garment.”
