During a thanksgiving service held in his honour at the Deeper Life Campground in Ado Ekiti, the new governor reportedly laid flat on the floor, prostrating in appreciation to God.

In his speech at the service, Fayose said having a second chance was a rare opportunity, adding that he had forgiven those who were behind his removal from office in 2006 and those who persecuted him while out of office, Punch reports.
The governor said: “If this time has been in Bible days, my name would have been one of the names to be recorded as those who God gave a second chance.

 
“My return to government is not common in history. It is a rare miracle. During the seven-and-a- half years of my political wilderness, I was taken to court over what I knew nothing about 59 times, aside the 45 days I spent in Ikoyi Prisons during my trial by the EFC
‘This time my mission is to look after Ekiti people and not to fight anybody. I will not allow this position to go into my head or use it to oppress anybody. I don’t have anybody in mind to punish or any political battle to fight.
“I won’t take vengeance, vengeance belongs to God. Be assured I will be warm to you. But you too turn away from evil so that the state can develop.”

He added that he had surrendered himself to God’s will, while also thanking his wife for her support.
Also speaking at the service, his wife said God had revealed to her that her husband would return to office after being impeached on October 16, 2006.
A letter written by the founder of the church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi and addressed to Fayose was read in the church.

In the letter read by the Secretary of Deeper Life Worldwide, Pastor Jeremiah Asemota,, Kumuyi urged Fayose not to relent in leading the Ekiti people with the fear of God and also handle the state’s resources with fairness, equity, integrity and transparency.
“I equally urge you to continue to demonstrate sacred and divine attributes of integrity, selflessness, openness, and excellence with determination to fulfill the public goods at all times.
These done, you can be assured of God abiding presence and divine approval over the next four years,” the letter read in part.
Peter Ayodele Fayose was governor of Ekiti state from 29 May 2003 to 16 October 2006 when he was impeached.
He was PDP flag bearer in the 2014 Governorship election in Ekiti State which held on June 21 2014. He was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He was inaugurated into office on October 16, 2014, Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, in Ado-Ekiti.
