The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said after his foray
in politics, he can end up being a Christian cleric who will be a fisher of men
for the Lord.
The governor, who stated this at a private event, said he had the
premonition of becoming a great evangelist with a big ministry.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in
Ado Ekiti on Thursday, quoted the governor as saying, “I am Peter the rock who
presently is a fisher of men for politics, but who God has destined to end up
as a fisher of men for God.”
However, Fayose, who is also the Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, was silent on whether he would go back to
the denomination of his late father, Pastor Olufemi Oluwayose, to fulfill his
dream.
His father was a cleric in the Christ Apostolic Church, while he
attends the Deeper Life Bible Church.
On his criticisms of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal
Government, Fayose said everything was being done in good faith.
He, however, added that he was available if the All Progressives
Congress’ administration decided to go after him for criticising their
“obnoxious policies,” saying he would refuse to be cowed.
“My criticism of President Buhari is not out of hatred, but is meant to help
him to make the necessary corrections. When a driver is driving dangerously and
you are sitting in the vehicle, you have to caution him, otherwise, both of you
will perish. Buhari has no solution to the problems of this country. He should
go back to Daura to look after his cows.
“President Buhari should allow the country to move forward. Age is
not on his side and it is also not a plus for him. Anybody calling on him to
contest again is his enemy and not doing him any good. Moreover, such a call is
a great disservice to our country.
“We need a young and dynamic man as the president of this country.
Both the PDP and the APC should look for young persons as their presidential
candidates for the 2019 elections. I want to be the president of this country
because I have all it takes to lead this country,” he stated.
On Buhari’s New Year Day message, the governor said it was not
only empty, “it is very disappointing and was a mere repetition of what he had
said in the past.”
On this year’s governorship election in Ekiti State, Fayose
expressed the confidence that his party, the PDP, would win convincingly.
