Fayose: God’ll pick my successor

•Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has said urged the people to pray along with him on the choice of his successor in 2018.

He said the over one year window available to him to anoint a successor would afford him and the people an opportunity to seek divine guidance ahead of the next governorship poll.

A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said the governor spoke in Ikere-Ekiti during the inauguration of the last phase of the dualisation of the town’s main road expected to gulp N800 million.

He promised that the project will be inaugurated in October to mark the third anniversary of his administration.

Fayose was reacting to the demand by the people that Ikere be allowed to produce the next governor.

He said:  “With God all things are possible. I will advise you to  take the matter to the Lord in prayers since you are legitimately qualified like any other town in the state.

“As a leader of the party, I must create a level playing ground for all aspirants. It is God who puts people in positions of authority. I am waiting on God to give me the directive on who to support for the coming election.

“As for when I will come out with my choice of candidate, we still have over a year before the election and I hope that by the time we clock three years in office in October, the coast would have been clearer.

“All we need to do is to now send people here and also support by way of infrastructure to scale up this place and others like this that can help in churning out more people.”
