As Ondo State prepares for governorship election in November this year, the Senior pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa has declared that the people of the state should not vote for a stingy politician if they don’t want to suffer and take the state backwards.
He stated this on Saturday while speaking with journalists in Akure,the state capital.
Pastor Giwa specifically advised politicians who are stingy to quit the governorship race in no time as there would be no chance for them at the polls.
It would be recalled that Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had fixed the governorship election in the state for November 16, 2024, while the party’s primaries are expected to hold between April 6 and 27, 2024.
The cleric, who claimed to have identified a stingy politician among the contestants, said: “I know a stingy man among the contestants.
“I know him very well; he is now spending money by force just because he wants to get the ticket of the party.
“Tell him that he is wasting his time. People know him. He is only pretending. If he gets what he wants, the state will suffer in another 6 years.
“He’s too parsimonious. We don’t need such material to be governor in Ondo state. We need a politician who can take the state back to the days of Baba Adebayo Adefarati, Mimiko, and Dr. Olusegun Agagu.
“Stingy people find it hard to give or lend money to others. They take more and give less.
“If they want something from you, they spend. After they get what they want, they show their true colours.”
