Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose recently clocked 60 and decided to use the auspicious occasion to reveal that his next target in life is to become Nigeria’s President or a cleric.

“My popularity, courageous spirit, unique contributions to the uplift of Ekiti state and other remarkable contributions to lifting different categories of people with no hope of becoming anything in life across the country were enough credentials to make me become Nigeria’s president.”

Fayose also said he has forgiven all those who betrayed him in the course of his political journey, especially during his ‘illegal’ impeachment in 2006. He said one of the most memorable days in his life was when he was ‘illegally’ removed from office but said he has forgiven those that betrayed him.

“The day I was forced out of government was the day I will never forget. This incident gave me high blood pressure and I asked God for three months to know what went wrong. Another memorable day was when I was sworn-in again as governor of Ekiti State,” he said.

On October 16, 2006, Mr Fayose was impeached by the Friday Aderemi-led House of Assembly over alleged mismanagement of state funds. However, eight years later, the Supreme Court in 2014 nullified the impeachment. Fayose said he was happy when he was elected for a second term eight years after.

He enjoined political actors in his state to shun politics of bitterness in the interest of the state.
