Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose on Sunday said that his name would have made it
into the bible had he lived in bible times. According to DAILY POST, speaking during a thanksgiving service, Fayose said, "Having a second chance is very rare. If this time has been in Bible days, my name would have been one of the names to be recorded as those who God gave a second chance. My return to government is not common in history. It is a rare miracle.
"During the seven and half years of my political wilderness, I was taken to Court over what I knew nothing about 59 times aside the 45 days I spent in Ikoyi Prisons during my trial by the EFCC"
"My Security and political aides like Chief Dayo Okondo were incarcerated for three and half years without committing any offence. I won’t allow sycophants to derail me again.
"All my property were left in the Government House because I had to run for dear life. But this time my mission is to look after Ekiti people and not to fight anybody. I will not allow this position to go into my head or use it to oppress anybody. I don’t have anybody in mind to punish, battle with or fight in any way.
Also speaking during the thanksgiving service, Mrs Feyisetan said, "God revealed to me that my husband, Mr Ayodele Fayose will return as the Governor, but he never told me the time. God told me that our return would be done in such a way that will beat the people’s imagination.
"But because of the trouble we went through, at a time, I prayed to God to please push my husband out of politics. Later, God told me that He will leave him there for him to prove His power.
"After we left, Gen Tunji Olurin came, Segun Oni and Governor Kayode Fayemi came, but today God has manifested His power. This is not by our power or strength, but by the grace of God"
