I didn't want to be Ekiti governor in 2007- Fayemi

The governor of Ekiti state has disclosed that he never wanted to be the governor of the state in 2007 but was forced to contest.
He made the disclosure in an interview with a leading National newspaper.
Hear Him:

I did not seek for election in 2007, as you put it. I wasn’t even in politics in the partisan sense of politics. I was prevailed upon to run. There is no one in politics at that time that would say that I was one of those running around wanting to be governor. I did not set out to be governor which in the true sense of it, is a duty and not an ambition.

So, I was not ambitious. I was not interested but I was eventually convinced of the necessity to put my hat into the ring at the time.

So, if you want me to answer your question properly, this is actually the first time I am running on the strength of my own conviction that I want to be governor in Ekiti State. So, you could call me an accidental governor. But then, that accident quickly stopped at the time I really became active in the race.
