INEC gives certificate of return to Fayose

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday gave Certificate of Return to Ekiti State governor-elect, Ayo Fayose to further authenticate his emergence as the new governor of the state.

Mr. Fayose came into the state INEC Headquarters, Ado-Ekiti, along with hundreds of admirers and party faithful. He pledged to make a difference in the act of governance and promised not to deviate from the pact he made with the Ekiti people to make life comfortable and worth living for them.

Mr. Fayose said he would run an all-inclusive government where people with good ideas and intentions would be accommodated to offer advice capable of moving the state forward.

The governor-elect promised to deliver the goodies of democracy to the people of the state in a manner that those who said he could not make any difference would be shocked.

He added that every Ekiti state-based contractor would be given jobs so as to eliminate matters relating to capital flight among the people.

The INEC National Commissioner in-charge of Southwest, Layi Olurode, presented the certificate to Mr. Fayose on behalf of the commission.

Mr. Olurode said the commission was elated and encouraged by the array of encomiums showered on it by Nigerians since the result of the election were announced.

He said the commission would go back to the drawing board and see how further elections could be conducted better.
