Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has testify that total reliance on God was his power and nothing else, and that not repaying evil for any evil done to him has remained the secret of his continuous victory against all odds put on his way by enemies.
Citing a Biblical injunction to buttress his claims: “. Phillipians Chapter 4 verse 13, says I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. Jesus Christ is my strength. If I am talking, If I am heard, if I could not be cowed or suppressed, If I am providing good governance to Ekiti people who elected me as their governor, If I am providing good leadership to people, it is because I have Christ as my strength and truly in him, I can do all things.”
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Idowu Adelusi, the Governor who reflected on the rough journey of his life while addressing members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly during a closed door meeting at the Government House in Ado Ekiti yesterday, said though his road had been bumpy but because he was a man of destiny he had never lost any battle: ”
Let this be known, I wasn’t born with silver spoon but with wood spoon in mouth, my struggle in the journey of life , founded on truth, hard work and firm believe in God, landed me where I am today.
” I remember God telling me never to avenge, but do well to all manners of men. In doing so, lies my victory and progress.”
Fayose said his return to power was beyond human comprehension, saying the stone which was rejected by the builder became strong pillar of the house.
