Fayose said he will not be dragged into petty political issues.
He said “I won’t allow anybody to drag me into playing politics with religion. What I am doing today is a demonstration of love and support for the Muslims. I am not that kind of a leader who does things with religious interest.”
Adding that “I will do same to Christians at Christmas exactly what I am doing to Muslims today. Ekiti is one, whether you are a Muslim or a Christian and this is the spirit I want all of us to imbibe.”

Fayose also said “In my actions and conducts, every Ekiti man knows that I am going to relate with you whether you are a Christian or a Muslim. The two are the same. I have no preference in either of the two. I am the governor today and if Muslims get there tomorrow, we will all support him.”
“The Chancellor of the Ekiti State University and Alara of Aramoko Ekiti, Oba Olu Adeyemi, is a Muslim. The Special Adviser, Political, Alhaji Ademola Bello, is a Muslim and many that had been appointed into boards, which I won’t like to play up,” the Governor said.
