The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has advised a presidential aspirant and minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi to keep praying concerning the 2023 election because power belongs to God.
The Ooni shared his advice with the minister when he paid him a consultation visit at his palace in Ile Ife, Monday.
The monarch also urged the politician to be selfless and give his best to the people.
According to him: “Power belongs to God, it’s not by your might, it’s not by your power, nor by your doing. In terms of leadership, it is God that gives power.
“I know you are a fervent and hard believer of God Almighty, anything you do, you pray to God. Don’t relent, do not relent, keep praying to God.
“Leadership is stewardship. You’ve been to different leadership positions from different strata. In terms of governance, you’ve seen it all. But the one that you’re trying to aspire to now, by the very special grace of God, it’s God that will take you there.
“We are paying for you from the throne of Oduduwa. On this throne of our ancestors God will continue to guide you, God will continue to see you through, God will continue to favour you, honour you and put you through in everything you do…”
