In a sit-down chat with journalists, the governor-elect equally attributed his victory to God. In his words:
It would be recalled that Ayo Fayose was Governor of Ekiti state from May 29th 2003 to October 16th 2006 before he was removed from office under shady circumstances during the Obasanjo administration.
Meanwhile the now former governor, Kayode Fayemi has since called Ayo Fayose to concede victory and congratulate him on his victory.
