Fayose shed tears shortly after a thanksgiving service held in his honour at the Government House Chapel on Sunday.
The service was shunned by majority of political office holders who had earlier boycotted the farewell dinner held in Fayose’s honour Friday night.
The departing governor could not control his emotion as he was about to depart the state for Akure Airport to catch a flight.
As the thanksgiving service ended at about 11.00 am, tears had welled up in the eyes of the governor as he was about to enter his white Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).
The wife of the governor, Mrs. Feyisetan Fayose, who noticed that her husband was shedding tears, moved closer to him as said “please take heart, please take heart.”
After the tears stopped, Fayose bade his wife, few aides and other admirers who were watching the drama bye-bye as the convoy headed for Akure.
Throughout the service, Fayose was in pensive mood and his voice was laden with emotion as he addressed the congregation.
The outgoing governor said he was leaving the state number one seat a contented and fulfilled man.
Fayose said: “I’m contented, I’m happy and I say thank you. Don’t be disparaged, don’t worry about me, I will come back. I will rise to the glory of God. I have enjoyed uncommon grace; I will never complain but thank God.”
