Forgive Me, There Is No Perfect Man – Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, Ekiti state governor, asked those he might have
offended, for forgiveness saying that “there is no perfect man”.Speaking during a special prayer session on April 17, Friday,
Fayose said he was ready to cooperate with the opponents for the
sake of peace in the state, The Punch reports.
The session was organized for the governor in Ado-Ekiti to mark
his recent victory at the Supreme Court in the case challenging his
eligibility for the election in the state.
It should be recalled that  19 Ekiti APC lawmakers issued a notice
of impeachment to the governor over allegations of impunity,
violence and stalking among other constitutional breaches.
In his Friday speech Governor Fayose noted:
“If they say someone has enemies, I’m number one in the world.
But God has been merciful and has been helping me to overcome
my challenges.
“I need your prayers because it will strengthen me more. I’m here
in the mosque to thank God.
“All I want is peace. I have a constitutionally guaranteed tenure. A
governor is judged by his achievements in office. All I’m interested
in is to bring development to my people. My opponents know if I
have a rest of mind I will achieve my objectives.
“All those I have offended should forgive me for the sake of the ma
$$es and orphans. They should know people gave me the
mandate. Nobody is above mistake; they should forgive me.
“We are here to thank God and pray for peace. I’m appealing to
those aggrieved to please allow peace to reign.
“There is no perfect man. They should allow peace to reign. All I
want is peace that will energise development.
“Anything that can bring peace cannot be wished away. For me,
I’m ready to accommodate everybody. Whatever they want we can
sit down and talk.”
It is worth mentioning, however, that the Supreme Court has not
cleared Fayose from facing criminal charges for his role in the Ekiti
rigging scandal. The proceedings are ahead.
