“The only way we can make this country progress is for leaders to humble themselves; leaders must humble by coming to the level of the people they governed.

“I don’t want an administration where there is conflict, we are enjoying so much peace in Ekiti state now and we are going to sustain it.
“I want to pledge from today within the next one year, if you maintain the peace currently enjoyed in the state, I will buy brand new vehicles to the two driver unions,” Fayose promised.
