                Mr. Ayodele Fayose was on Thursday sworn in as the new governor of Ekiti State. He was sworn in at the Kayode Oluyemi Stadium in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.
                 Fayose is the 11th governor of the state since its creation on October 1, 1996. The new governor was sworn in by the state’s Chief Judge, Justice Ayodele Daramola.

The event was attended by thousands of Peoples Democratic Party members across the country.
The party’s National Chairman,  Adamu Muazu, led other top members including the governors of Akwa Ibom, Katsina, Cross River, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Abia, Kebbi, Delta and Ondo States to the inauguration ceremony.
The immediate past governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, was also in attendance.
In his inauguration speech, Fayose urged those present to observe a minute silence in honour of dead members of PDP and the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State.
He said,” I’m blessed and it is evident that God is with me. History is being made and it will take a while to surpass.”
