No fewer than 1,000 prophets, pastors and imams are expected to do spiritual cleansing at the newly constructed Oke Ayoba Government Lodge in Ado Ekiti before Governor-elect, Mr. Ayo Fayose, moves into the edifice.

The multi-million naira Lodge built by the regime of Dr. Kayode Fayemi was commissioned by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal. Fayemi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) hands over today to Fayose, a formerly impeached governor who stages a comeback after winning the June 21, 2014 Ekiti gubernatorial poll.

Speaking during a television programme at NTA, Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, Fayose, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the pastors and prophets are welcome from all the 16 local government areas of the state.

A Vanguard report quotes him as saying: “I am inviting all our men of God to follow us to Oke Ayobo, Government House on Thursday to do some spiritual cleansing there.

“But let me emphasis that we are only inviting pastors who are divinely called to lead us to Government House.

“They (clerics) would be in front, we shall follow them; our men of God would use the power of prayer to conquer.”

Fayose’s inauguration is billed to take place at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado Ekiti.

The challenge of his electoral victory has not gone down well with him, leading to a strained relationship with Fayemi. Hearing in the case is currently suspended following an attack on the judges suspected to have been masterminded by the Fayose camp.
