Ekiti
State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, yesterday celebrated his thanksgiving
service at the Deeper Life Praying Camp, Ajebandele, Ado Ekiti.
And here's a trending photo of the re-elected
governor flat out on the floor at the church. According to Vanguard, during the service, Mr. Ayo recalled how he left
Government House eight years ago due to high wired politics of the time, saying
his coming back to the same office had the hand of God in it.
At the service which was attended by the former Oyo State governor, Otunba Alao Akala, traditional rulers and prominent politicians, Fayose said he had learnt his lessons, adding that this time around he would not allow sycophants to mislead him.
His words:
“My return to government is not common in history. It is a
rare miracle. During the seven and half years of my political wilderness, I was
taken to Court at least 59 times over what I knew nothing. This is besides the
45 days I spent in Ikoyi Prisons. My security and political aides like Chief
Dayo Okondo were incarcerated for three and half years without committing any
offence. I won’t allow sycophants to derail me again. All my property were left
in the Government House because I had to run for my dear life.
So, this time my mission is to look after Ekiti people and
not to fight anybody. . I will not allow this position to go into my head or
use it to oppress anybody. I don’t have anybody in mind to punish or any
political battle to fight. Having a second chance is very rare. If this time
has been in Bible days, my name would have been one of the names to be recorded
as those who God gave a second chance.”.
In her testimony, wife of the Governor, Feyisetan disclosed
how God revealed the second coming of her husband to her. Mrs. Fayose said:
”God revealed to me that my husband, Mr Ayodele Fayose, will
return as the Governor, but He never told me the time. God told me that our
return would be done in such a way that will beat the people’s imagination. At
a time, I prayed to God to please push my husband out of politics. Later, God
told me that He will leave him there for him to prove His power.
After we left, Gen Tunji Olurin came, then Segun Oni and
afterwards Governor Kayode Fayemi and today God has manifested His power. This
is not by our power or strength, but by the grace of God”.
Mrs Fayose said her husband facilitated her closeness to God
19 years ago, when he took her to Deeper Life Bible church, “where I found God
because I was deep in worldliness in terms of dressing and behaviour. Today,
God has taken my life and I thank Him for restoring our lost glory”.
