Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole
Soyinka, has described the loss of the outgoing Governor of Ekiti State, Dr
Kayode Fayemi, in the June 21 governorship election as a mystery which the All
Progressives Congress must unravel, Punch reports.
“Somewhere something went wrong
and it has to be corrected. That is the message I have for all of you. Be
patient but at the same time be watchful.
He advised the people to put aside
all the mystery surrounding the loss and continue to build on the “good
foundation” Fayemi had established.
“Many people within and outside
Ekiti were mystified. There is a clarity in my mind. That clarity had been
demonstrated today and has been manifested in the four years of Fayemi.
“My own message is that put the
mystery aside and the emotional attachment. Continue to build on the foundation
that has been laid by him. The state has been resurrected in a way that all of
us should be proud of.
“I’m glad that there is no sadness
on the face of anybody. I’m happy I do not perceive any iota of regret on the
face of anyone. That is the way it should be.”
Wole Soyinka made the statements during the inauguration of the new Government House known as ‘Ayoba Villa’ in Ado Ekiti on Sunday.
