“When
Fayose won in 2014, the whole of Ekiti erupted with joy. In 2018 the APC “won”
and all the streets of Ekiti are looking so gloomy. The people are sad because
their will has been truncated”

My friend and brother, Governor Peter Ayodele
Fayose of Ekiti state, is not infallible. He is not an angel and like every
other mortal, he has his own fair share of faults, excesses and shortcomings.
We do not agree on everything and neither do we always share the same opinion
on matters of state and policy.

I should add this: some of his friends are my
sworn enemies and some of my friends are his, yet nothing and no-one can come
between us. That is the nature of our covenant and deep bond which has its
roots well above politics, which was borne through our shared love of the
Living God and the Gospel of Christ and which was established and forged by the
blood of Jesus. Our differences in terms of style and approach only brings us
closer and serves to make our friendship stronger. And despite his regular
displays of strong emotions, what a profoundly good and insightful man he is.
