Governor Ayo today while at the speaking at the thanksgiving service organised for him at the Cathedral Church of Emmanuel, Anglican Communion, Ado Ekiti, to celebrate his electoral victory at the Supreme Court has said anyone against the voice of God is following the devil, reminding the opposition that it was God and the people who put him in power. He also said that he apologised publicly does not make him a coward, but he only wants peace to reign, Fayose stated. Below his what he said during the thanksgiving service.
“I asked for forgiveness for reconciliation and to pursue genuine peace. Waiving the olive branch does not mean cowardice, it is for peace.
“Conspiracy is against God’s will. What better way could one seeks peace other than asking for forgiveness.”
The governor also advised the opposition to emulate President Goodluck Jonathan, who conceded defeat and saved Nigeria from breaking down.
“When I contested Senatorial election, they said I lost and I did not fight anyone. I did not go to the tribunal and I was saying good things about the government then. The opposition should be courageous enough to accept defeat. I follow Jonathan in and out of office. Jonathan gave up on the survival of Nigeria. Jonathan prevented the prophecy that Nigeria would break in 2015.
“I’m enjoying the mandate of God through his people that cannot be controverted. My sin is because I allowed common man to breathe the air of hope.
“The people have spoken (governorship election), they said it was military intervention. They spoke the second term (presidential election), is that one photochromic? And they spoke again the third time (House of Assembly election).
“If God that gave me victory cannot defend me, I better go home. If the people cannot defend the mandate they gave to me, I better go home. Power doesn’t come from man. Power belongs to God. Anyone against the voice of God is following Satan’s way.”
