Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he would not shun the South-west Governors' meeting in spite of political differences, because this would be a great disservice to the people of the region, noting that posterity would not judge him right.
In a statement by the governor's Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose said:
"Over a decade ago, we had a reverse of what we have now. There were five Peoples Democratic Party governors in the region and only one Alliance for Democracy, but Asiwaju Bola Tinubu fought gallantly for his state.
Now I am the only PDP governor and I can't shun this group but to take advantage of synergy between us. Also, when you see a product, you can easily know the manufacturer, in Lagos, the products are showing Asiwaju Tinubu as the manufacturer.
"Now that Lagos State is part of the group, it has to play a vital role in the region.
It has to help other states achieve their potential too. Concerning the call for collaboration in agriculture, Lagos can assist not only in cash but in the provision of implements and equipment," he said.
Fayose also called for serious peer review among themselves as each had comparative advantages in some areas.
