MY GOOD PEOPLE OF EKITI STATE
The
ceremony of swearing-in, in the form that was just witnessed today, is
the second time of my oath-taking as the Governor of Ekiti State. You
will recall that I took the first oath of office on May 29, 2003, as the
flag bearer of the People's Democratic Party after defeating the then
incumbent Governor and his party, the Alliance for Democracy. That
mandate was truncated three and half years later through my unjust and
forceful removal from office on October 16, 2006. The serial events are
still fresh in our minds to be recounted here.
