Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, said he is ready for dialogue with his opponents for the sake of peace in the state. He also asked for forgiveness from those he might have offended, since "nobody is above mistake". Governor Fayose spoke at a special prayer session organised for him by the Ansar-udeen Mosque, Atikankan in Ado-Ekiti to celebrate his recent electoral victory at the Supreme Court. The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have issued a notice of impeachment to the governor, citing eight offences that can warrant impeachment. The embattled Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, had last week Thursday requested the state Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, to raise a seven-man panel within seven days of receipt of the letter to investigate Fayose and his deputy, Dr. Kolapo Olusola, over allegations of impunity, violence and stalking among other constitutional breaches. Fayose said: "If they say someone has enemies, I’m number one in the world. But God has been merciful and has been helping me to overcome my challenges. “I need your prayers because it will strengthen me more. I'm here in the mosque to thank God. “All I want is peace. I have a constitutionally guaranteed tenure. A governor is judged by his achievements in office. All I’m interested in is to bring development to my people. My opponents know if I have rest of mind I will achieve my objectives. “All those I have offended should forgive me for the sake of the masses and orphans. They should know people gave me the mandate. Nobody is above mistake; they should forgive me.”
