Ogun gov-elect narrates ‘not too sweet’ experience
Ogun State Governor-elect, Prince Dapo Abiodun, yesterday narrated his “not too sweet” experience in the just concluded gubernatorial election, saying “if men were to be God he would not have emerged.”
He spoke on Sunday at a Thanksgiving service to commemorate his election held at St. James Anglican Church, Iperu-Remo in Ikenne Local Government Area of the state.
Abiodun said despite hostile electioneering, he had absolute faith in God which earned him victory at the poll.
He said “Even the unbelievers believe that this victory has the hands of God .
“People asked me, Dapo, what has been driving you, how have you held on ? And I told them it is my absolute faith in the almighty God.
“I always refer to the book of Mark 11:23. Honestly if man were God I wouldn’t have been here.
“Today, what I want you to take home from here is that we should never give up because many times when we meet disappointment, it is just an avenue to close a window for a double door to be opened.”
The Governor - elect, however, pledged to run an equitable and transparent government when assumes office on May 29.
Earlier in his sermon, ArchBishop, Ecclesiastical Province of Lagos and Bishop of Remo, Reverend Olusina Fape the emergence of Abiodun has nothing to do with the federal might as it was being insinuated in some quarters.
