My Deputy Will Be Next Governor Of Ekiti – Fayose
Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has boasted that his deputy, Professor Kolapo Olusola will emerge the next governor of the state because it is God’s project that cannot fail.
The governor expressed confidence that Prof. Olusola will emerge the standard bearer of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the eventual winner of the 2018 governorship election in the state because the whole project is a divine one.
He spoke in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday, during a thanksgiving service held by the deputy governor to mark his endorsement by various PDP stakeholders in the state for the election.
In a statement from the Office of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, it quoted Governor Fayose as saying that people who can discern spiritual things would see that the emergence of Olusola-Eleka was divine and no project embarked upon by God fails.
“In the first instance, the emergence of Olusola-Eleka as my deputy was divine. He never lobbied to be one. He was just a lecturer in the university, enjoying what he was doing.
“We all say we are God’s people and I have earlier said I was relying on God to choose a successor for me and He has done that. I know it is a divine project and those who are doubting should wait and see in the end what it is going to be. Power comes from God and He gives willingly.
“Some say I am promoting my deputy, I’m not, but I am only doing the will of God. When we do His will, there is no need to fear. We are going to that promised land. This is God’s project and it won’t fail,” he said.
On the conspiracy by some aspirants against Fayose and his deputy, the governor said such would fail woefully.
He added that he learnt that some were planning a meeting soon to strategise against him, saying he could even allow them to hold such meeting at the Government House because he was sure God would throw a political bomb in their midst that would scatter them.
On the fear by some people that Olusola-Eleka does not have the same charisma like him, Governor Fayose noted that such fears were foolish and needless.
