Valedictory Address by His Excellency Dr. Kayode FAYEMI Governor, Ekiti State, Nigeria On the conclusion of his term of office as Governor of Ekiti State, Nigeria Wednesday, October 15, 2014 My dear people of Ekiti State, by the grace of God, in the next 24 hours we would come to the end of a glorious tenure of an administration I have had the privilege to lead as Governor of the land of honour, Ekiti State, Nigeria.
