FAYOSE BLASTS CLERICS OVER FALSE PREDICTIONS

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.

With McCourt ready to spend in January – and Mikel yet to play a single game for Chelsea since the beginning of the season – reports in France on Sunday claimed Marseille were ready to sign the 29-year-old.
