DON’T TURN INGRATE TO YOUR BENEFACTORS, BISHOP WARNS OGUN GOVERNOR-ELECT

The cleric also charged the incoming Governor to involve the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State in the nomination of candidates for political offices and respect political structure upon which he used to emerge for his electoral victory.

“A stream that forgets its source will definitely go dry. It is not that we don’t have people with credible character in this country, but our problem is nepotism.  And I will advise you to select able people of Faith to be able to rule over hundreds and thousands of men and women.  There are many things yearning for attentions at this auspicious time you are coming in as Governor’, he said.

Penpushing further reports that, the clergyman, identified nepotism as the only bane of the Nigerian polity, and told the Governor-elect to be cautious, and spread dividends of democracy to nooks and crannies of the State.

‘Your father and mother are your first destiny helpers. So, in your own case, as Governor, you have become parent to all and sundry in Ogun State. Ask God for destiny helpers to work with you to be able to take Ogun State to a greater height’.

“As a consummate entrepreneur, we know your antecedents, you have not come to steal the State funds to build your house, but have been blessed already. You are already loaded. You need destiny helpers to fulfill all your electoral promises”, he said

The Bishop prayed for Abiodun to succeed in governing the State, and also  made reference to the Holy Bible, in John 15: 5-6, enjoining the Governor-elect to be prayerful for him to succeed, stressing, “God has appointed everyone to succeed. You and your wife (Bamidele) will not fail. Whatever you lay your hands upon, you will succeed”.

Penpushing further reports that, the Governor-elect in his own response, attributed his electoral victory to his faith in God and quoted Mark 11:23 to substantiate his belief, adding, “my victory has a hand of God’.

‘My friends and people around me were asking, “Dapo, what has kept you going ahead in your ambition? What has propelled you? But I remained focus in God and unshakeable. For you to succeed, you don’t have to have doubts in your mind. In my spirit, I have a mission for my country. I didn’t give up. For you to succeed, you should learn to get up and go. Also, you should have convictions”, Abiodun said
