A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday urged members of the state\u2019s chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, who may be aggrieved by any of his actions in the past, to forgive him.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Fayose, who spoke at a peace meeting he convened with party members across the 16 local governments, urged them to put the past behind them.<\/p>\n
The meeting held at Fayose\u2019s Afao Ekiti country home.<\/p>\n
He apologised to all aggrieved members, whom he said, he might have wronged while in government.<\/p>\n
According to him, the PDP must be repositioned ahead of future elections in the state and nothing should be too much a sacrifice for anyone to make.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are on a mission to reposition the party because truly we need a new attitude as members of this party<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must tell ourselves the truth that there is nothing to share in failure and we must join hands to achieve something tangible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know some persons are aggrieved and I know we are humans. I apologise to all those that I have offended<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us come together in unity for this our party not to die in this state. That is my priority as the leader.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am doing this after one year of leaving office just to allow the present All Progressives Congress to display what they have for the people and you can all see for yourselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not here for my selfish interest but just to ensure this party does not fail,\u201d Fayose said.<\/p>\n
The former governor, who used the meeting to officially congratulate Sen. Biodun Olujimi, on her recent victory as the lawmaker representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, noted that she remained a leader of the party in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody should come back to the party. I am open to reconciliation. If Olujimi calls you for meeting tomorrow, go there and listen to her. All of us are leaders , don\u2019t let us factionalise this party<\/p>\n
\u201d I am congratulating her (Olujimi) and I don\u2019t have any issue with her and I am sorry for what happened in the past,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
