Ayo Fayose,
governor of Ekiti state, says he is an avid reader of the Bible — at night when
all his visitors have left him alone.
In an interview
with Vanguard, Fayose said he is far from perfect even though his belief in God
is unshakable.
Fayose, a controversial
personality, also revelled in the privilege of having a “praying mother and a
giant in Christ as wife”.
“I cannot tell you
that I am a perfectman, but I believe in God. I am one man that counts my
blessings; name them one by one and thank God for what he has done in my life,”
he said.
“When everybody
leaves in the night, I read the Bible and look for words that will carry me the
next hour.
I had the privilege
of being raised in a Christian home and my understanding of the Bible is deep.
And as God will have it I have a praying mother and a giant in Christas wife.”
The governor
further explained the relevance of his wife, Feyisetan, in the decision he
makes and the battles he fights.
He said his wife
had already informed him that he would prevail in the investigation of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFC) into the source of funding for
his election.
“If my wife tells
me that this will happen, it will happen. If she tells me not to fight any
battle, I don’t, and if she tells to go on, I do,” he said.
“She told me that
nothing would come out of the present battle they are waging against me, and I
strongly believe that because it is all about envy.”
