I may become pastor after leaving office – Fayose

Ekiti Governor Ayodele Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Thursday spoke about his life after serving as two-term governor, saying his plan is to end up a Christian cleric.

According to a statement issued in Ado Ekiti by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor, said he had the premonition of becoming a great evangelist with a big ministry.

Adelusi 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.”

Fayose, who is also the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, was silent on whether he would go back to the denomination where his late father, Pastor Olufemi Oluwayose, played a prominent role.

His father was a cleric in the Christ Apostolic Church, while he currently attends the Deeper Life Bible Church.

On his incessant criticisms of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, Fayose said everything is done in good faith

“My criticism of President Buhari is not out of hatred, but to lead to making the necessary corrections. When a driver is driving dangerously and you are sitting in the vehicle, you have to call him to order, otherwise, both of you will perish

“President Buhari should allow the country to move forward. Age is not on his side and 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,” he said.

On this year’s governorship election in Ekiti State, Fayose expressed the confidence that the PDP would win convincingly.
