In response, Otunba Daniel congratulated Fayose on the great transformation he has brought into Ekiti State.

Not only that, you have continued to sustain the legacy of Education in Ekiti State evident of which was the great feat recorded in the just concluded WAEC/NECO Examination which was acclaimed all over the country and beyond”.

“As you go through the brief few months of your tenure, Ekiti people would never forget you, in fact, they would have wished to keep you for more years if not for the constitution. But, nonetheless, I am of the belief that your politics is not over because your best is yet to come. As one of the most heard voices of opposition in the country, you have always remained bold and courageous and stood your ground in any circumstance”
