Akeredolu attributed Fayemi’s victory to ” sterling record in public service, the tenacity of purpose, exemplary values, stupendous goodwill and abiding grace of God” and welcomes the Governor-elect to a familiar terrain where he will quickly consolidate his legacy of good governance which characterised his first tenure as the Governor of Ekiti State.
