Former governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose, has called on members of the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who may be aggrieved by his past actions to forgive him.
Mr Fayose requested for forgiveness on Tuesday during a peace meeting at his Afao Ekiti country home which he convened with party members across the 16 local governments.

According to him, the PDP must be repositioned ahead of future elections in the state.
“We are on a mission to reposition the party because truly we need a new attitude as members of this party,” he said.
“We must tell ourselves the truth that there is nothing to share in failure and we must join hands to achieve something tangible.
“I know some persons are aggrieved and I know we are humans. I apologise to all those that I have offended.
“Let us come together in unity for this our party not to die in this state. That is my priority as the leader.
“I am doing this after one year of leaving office just to allow the present All Progressives Congress (APC) to display what they have for the people and you can all see for yourselves.
“I am not here for my selfish interest but just to ensure this party does not fail.”
The former governor congratulated Senator Biodun Olujimi on her recent victory as the lawmaker representing Ekiti South Senatorial District.

“Everybody should come back to the party. I am open to reconciliation. If Senator Biodun Olujimi calls you for meeting tomorrow, go there and listen to her. All of us are leaders, don’t let us factionalise this party.
“I am congratulating her (Olujimi) and I don’t have any issue with her and I am sorry for what happened in the past,” he said.
