"May I tell you that anybody that waits for me negatively to complete my tenure would not be in the office at the time," Fayose said in an interview with on Saturday, February 4, 2017.

He is not done yet...

"Anybody waiting for my downfall would be swimming in more troubles that time. My name is Peter ‘The Rock’. The man God promised he would build Ekiti and Nigeria on his shoulder.

"Watch the turn of events. Some people say it is because I enjoy immunity. Don’t other governors enjoy immunity? It is dependent on who you are. They plotted to manipulate the judiciary against me, it didn’t work. The House of Assembly dominated by the All Progressives Congress members attempted to remove me, it didn’t work.

"The God that put me here does not sleep nor slumber. The God would not allow me to fall into the traps of my enemies.
