Some people of the state told P.M.NEWS that they are eagerly awaiting the new governor to take over.
They, however, appealed to Fayose to fulfil all the promises he made during the electioneering campaign.
One
of the residents who spoke to our correspondent, Mrs. Risikatu Ali, who
sells fruits in Ado-Ekiti, said: “We thank God for everything. For me,
the outgoing governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi tried his best. He did very
well. I want to advise Fayose to make sure that he performed better than
Fayemi. He should see to the welfare of his people.”

As
at the time of filing this report, the state was calm and everybody was
going about without any form of intimidation or harassment.

the instruction of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloma Mariam
Mukhtar, courts in the state which had been closed down about two weeks
ago have been opened.
The policemen and soldiers depolyed to the courts have all left.

a result, life has returned to the courts as some staff were seen
Wednesday morning reporting for work and signing the staff register.
But no court was sitting at the time of filing this report.
