Governor Ayodele Fayose of
Ekiti State has taken a swipe at some clerics who had predicted that he would
be impeached or removed from office in less than a year after his assumption of
office.
It would be recalled that in
2014, shortly after his re-election and after his inauguration as governor, two
clerics, (names withheld), from Ibadan and Akure, predicted that Fayose would
not survive a year in office, adding that he would either be impeached or
chased out of office as it happened in 2006 during his first tenure.
There were fierce legal and
political battles afterwards that threatened his office but he was able to
weather the storm. Boasting that negative prophecies against him will always
fail because he is God’s project whose destiny is only determined by God,
governor Fayose declared in Ado-Ekiti yesterday during the annual Christmas
Carol Service at the Government House Grounds, that whatever God has purposed
for him could not be altered
by mere wishes of men.
According to a statement by
the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, yesterday, Fayose, who
was first Ekiti governor to read the ninth Bible reading for the sixth time,
also warned his aides against betrayal or subversive actions, saying whoever
does that would only have himself to blame in the end. “God knows everything
and for Ekiti and her people, we are going forward and with God all things are
possible.
In January this year, a
cleric said I would be removed in 2016 and I am still here by God’s grace. On
April 22, 2015, somebody said myself and Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State
would be removed from office, but am still here.
My enemies can’t change my
destiny. I am God’s project and all that he plans for my life will come to
pass, no matter how bitter some people feel. Anybody with a negative prophecy
against me and this state will fail. We won’t lose any battle in Ekiti.
God is bound by His words
and will accomplish them,” he said. Governor Fayose urged the people of the
state to be positive minded and hope for a better and brighter future.
In his sermon, the Bishop of
Ekiti Diocese of the Anglican Church, Right Reverend Christopher Omotunde, said
the celebration of Christmas is meaningless in the life somebody who has not
accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. He urged Christians to be
prepared for the second coming of Jesus Christ, saying whoever fails to do that
would have eternal regret awaiting him
