Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has said that he was betrayed by many of those he made during his reign as governor of the state after losing re-election bid in June 21, 2014.
Fayemi claimed that some of those he entrusted with positions during his administration were among those that allegedly sponsored campaigns of calumny against his person but said he had forgiven them.
Fayemi said these in Ode Ekiti headquarters of Gbonyin Local Government Area yesterday when an Al Progressives Congress (APC), Mr.Makinde Araoye, gave social security package to some elders across Ekiti South senatorial district.
The philanthropist, Araoye, who said over 2,500 elders have benefited from the programme across six local governments, described the policy as a re-enactment of Fayemi’s Social Security Scheme, where 25,000 people above 65 were paid N5,000 per month.
Materials distributed include: rice, cash and other palliatives meant to cushion the effect of the hard-biting economic situation on the beneficiaries.
Speaking at the event which consists of party members, Fayemi alleged that many of them started spreading rumour against him claiming that he didn’t allow them to operate freely in during his government.
“There was no one that held office in my government that I teleguided. I allowed them to be free and enjoyed their positions contrary to what they said.
“I have forgiven those that betrayed me just like I apologize to whoever I must have offended as a governor, because I am a human being and I can’t claim to be infallible”, he said.
