"I'm waiting on God to pick my successor in 2018," Ekiti Gov

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, on Thursday said he was waiting on God for the choice of the candidate who would succeed him as governor in 2018.
The governor made this known in Ikere-Ekiti while flagging off the last phase of the dualisation of the town’s roads, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr
Idowu Adelusi , in Ado Ekiti.
The statement said that the governor, who was responding to Ikere-Ekiti people’s demand that they should produce his successor, said he had taken the matter to God in prayers and was waiting for His directive.
“While saying that Ikere-Ekiti, like any other town in the state, could prod their children to seek election into office of the governor, he urged them to also help him take the matter before God.
“With God all things are possible; I will advise you to take the matter to the Lord in prayers since you are legitimately qualified like any other town in the state.
“As a leader of the party, I must create a level-playing ground for all aspirants; it is God who puts people in positions of authority.
“I am currently waiting on God to give me the directive on who to support for the coming election; as for when I will come out with my choice of candidate, time will tell.
“We still have over a year before the election and I hope that by the time we clock three years in office in October, the coast will have been clearer,” the governor was quoted as saying.

Now we have the Copa,” Bartomeu said. “On May 29, we have a board meeting and we will announce the name of the new coach after.” Asked about Valverde, Bartomeu only said: “”He is a coach who is out of contract in the summer.” Real Madrid finished atop the table in La Liga, three points above second-placed Barcelona, who will still contest the cup final against Alaves on Saturday. “Obviously we congratulate the champions and our players for ...
