Fayose breaks down in tears as he leaves Ekiti Govt House
Outgoing Ekiti state Governor Ayo Fayose wept profusely
while vacating the state’s Government House this afternoon.
Reports say Fayose shed tears shortly after attending a thanksgiving
service to mark the end of his tenure held at the Government House chapel. He
broke down in uncontrollable tears as he made for his official vehicle on his
way to catching a flight at the Akure Airport.
He was believed to be on his way to Abuja in readiness for
an appearance at the head office of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
As the thanksgiving service ended at about 11.00 am, tears
had welled up in the eyes of the governor who sauntered towards his Lexus SUV.
His wife, Feyisetan, who sensed that her husband was
weeping, moved closer to him and consoled him.
The outgoing first lady was heard saying “please take heart,
please take heart.”
After being consoled by his wife, Fayose bade farewell to few aides and other admirers who were watching the drama.
Fayose’s voice was laden with emotion as he addressed the
congregation.
The outgoing governor said he was leaving the state
number-one seat a contented man.
Fayose said: “I’m contented, I’m happy and I say thank you.
Don’t be disparaged, don’t worry about me, I will come back. I will rise to the
glory of God. I have enjoyed uncommon grace; I will never complain but
thank God.”
thank God.”
Mrs. Fayose assured that her husband would come back to
Ekiti a triumphant man.
She said: “We are coming back, I don’t know how but I have
200 per cent assurances.”
In his sermon entitled, “Affliction shall not rise the
second time,” the Chaplain of Government House, Pastor Seyi Olusola, said a man
must be ready to face affliction, if he must rise.
Olusola said: “Don’t allow anything to trouble your mind,
always come to God.”
As he left the Government House premises, Fayose displayed a
wooden board with the inscription “Ekiti Kete, thank you all and good bye.”
The thanksgiving service was attended by traditional rulers
led by the Chairman of Ekiti State Council of Obas and Oloye of Oye-Ekiti, Oba
Oluwole Ademolaju and the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe
