<\/p>\nFayose shed tears shortly after attending a thanksgiving service to mark the end of his tenure held at the Government House chapel.<\/p>\n
The governor betrayed emotion as he made for his official vehicle on his way to catching a flight at the Akure Airport.<\/p>\n
He was believed to be on his way to Abuja in readiness for an appearance at the head office of the Economic and Financial Crimes
\nCommission (EFCC).<\/p>\n
As the thanksgiving service ended at about 11.00 am, tears had welled up in the eyes of the governor who sauntered towards his Lexus SUV.<\/p>\n
His wife, Feyisetan, who sensed that her husband was weeping, moved closer to him and consoled him.<\/p>\n
The outgoing first lady was heard saying \u201cplease take heart, please take heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
After being consoled by his wife, Fayose bade farewell to few aides and other admirers who were watching the drama.<\/p>\n
Fayose\u2019s voice was laden with emotion as he addressed the congregation.<\/p>\n
The outgoing governor said he was leaving the state number-one seat a contented man.<\/p>\n
Fayose said: \u201cI\u2019m contented, I\u2019m happy and I say thank you. Don\u2019t be disparaged, don\u2019t worry about me, I will come back. I will rise to the glory of God. I have enjoyed uncommon grace; I will never complain but
\nthank God.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. Fayose assured that her husband would come back to Ekiti a triumphant man.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWe are coming back, I don\u2019t know how but I have 200 per cent assurances.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his sermon entitled, \u201cAffliction shall not rise the second time,\u201d the Chaplain of Government House, Pastor Seyi Olusola, said a man must be ready to face affliction, if he must rise.<\/p>\n
Olusola said: \u201cDon\u2019t allow anything to trouble your mind, always come to God.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he left the Government House premises, Fayose displayed a wooden board with the inscription \u201cEkiti Kete, thank you all and good bye.\u201d<\/p>\n
The thanksgiving service was attended by traditional rulers led by the Chairman of Ekiti State Council of Obas and Oloye of Oye-Ekiti, Oba Oluwole Ademolaju and the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe.<\/p>\n
The outgoing Deputy Governor, Prof. Kolapo Olusola and his wife, Janet; the Chief of Staff, Dipo Anisulowo; Head of Service, Dr. Gbenga Faseluka and the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Modupe Alade also attended the service.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
