In
what appears to be a spiritual anointing of his deputy as his
successor, PDP chieftain and Ekiti State Governor, has laid hands on
Prof. Kolapo Olusola who had knelt before the altar during a church
service.
The outspoken Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, during a
thanksgiving service on Sunday, laid hands on Prof. Kolapo Olusola who
had knelt before the altar during a church service to mark “his endorsement by various PDP stakeholders in the state for the forthcoming governorship election.”
Below is how Lere Olayinka, the Ekiti State Governor's Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, shared the report on
Facebook;
“Fayose spoke in Ado Ekiti, on Sunday, during a thanksgiving
service held by Olusola to mark his endorsement by various PDP
stakeholders in the state for the election.
“A government statement quoted Governor Fayose as saying that
people who can discern spiritual things would see that the emergence of
Olusola was divine and that 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. I proposed to have his
father that I knew to be a politician as my deputy, but he emerged in a
divine manner.
“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 as 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.
“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, Fayose noted that 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 opined that such fears were
foolish and needless.
“I am not the creator of myself or anybody. God has created
everybody in unique ways and what is the weakness of a person may be the
strength of another. It was not until Prophet Elijah departed that the
power came upon Elisha and he started to shine. God also used Aaron to
support and complement Moses and the same is happening here.
“Fayose urged aspirants still feeling aggrieved to calm down,
saying there was no way all of them would be given a ticket meant for
only one person.
“It is not every man that talks to a lady or wants to befriend a
lady that the lady can marry or will eventually marry. We are one big
family and others can serve in other capacities as well.
“He, however, urged Olusola-Eleka to be prayerful and be wary of sycophants."
