The pastor an indigene of Badagry said though he had little money, he could defeat the Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro and Jimi Agbaje to clinch the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party.
A pastor based in Lagos, Kayode
Jacobs says he has been chosen by God to emerge as the next governor of the
state.
According to The Punch, Pastor
Jacobs said this in an interview at the newspaper’s corporate headquarters in
Magboro, Ogun State, on Monday.
The pastor an indigene of Badagry
told the newspaper that though he had little money, he could defeat the
Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro and Jimi Agbaje to clinch the
governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Jacobs, who runs Family and
Relationships Ministry in Lagos, said he had been in politics for over 20 years
having worked with a former Minister of Information, Dapo Sarunmi.
The pastor said he had the backing
of a large number of pastors in the state as well as massive grass roots
following in 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas.
He told The Punch, “This is my
David moment. You see, nobody expected David to become king of Israel because
he was the last son but when God would favour him, he picked him from
obscurity. I am sure that God’s favour will see me through.”
On why he was gunning for the
governorship seat instead of a lower political position, the pastor told
journalists
“I don’t want to be a senator or a
House of Representatives member because I don’t want to be debating and making
laws. I need a position whereby I can make a direct impact on the lives of the
people. Also, this was the position I was directed to contest for.”
Jacobs said Governor Babatunde
Fashola’s policies were not people-friendly. He said Fashola’s government only
favoured the rich while the poor were neglected.
He noted that Fashola’s achievements
in terms of public infrastructure would not stand the test of time.
