Speaking at Ikere Ekiti while receiving supporters of his former Deputy, Mr. Bisi Omoyeni, he declared that members were ready to embrace peace.

Fayose said, “I won’t be distracted by whatever they say about me. I am committed to this course. It is like running a race, so I won’t look sideways but where I am going.”

He praised the 13 aggrieved aspirants for embracing peace after the meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan.

Fayose declared that he would continue to offer leadership to all members of the party, promising not to victimise anybody based on their political belief.

Omoyeni, who described Fayose as a ‘promise keeper’ and someone with a large heart, said “he is a friend of the poor and less privileged.”
