Founding Managing Director of GTBank Plc, Mr. Fola Adeola has come out to explain why he doesn’t want to be the governor of his home state, Ogun State come 2015 guber election. The vice presidential candidate to Mallam Nuhu Ribadu of APC in the last presidential election also revealed recently that he can serve the nation in other capacities apart from the governor of Ogun State. Hear him: “I come from Ogun State and being the governor of the state is a major job. For me, that was 20 years ago. The country itself is in need of attention and there are so many things that are being done today and Ogun State is not fitting to my consideration. As such, I can only wish the incumbent and all other aspirants well in their attempt to elevate my state. I also believe that just like a man can serve his God without being a clergy, so can a man serve his state without being the governor of the state. So much is happening there but it is not for me.

I do not know why THISDAY (Newspapers) is doing what it is doing because this is the third time it is writing about it. It does not matter anymore. I have already told them twice and they can put it again for the fourth time. I do not want to contest for the governorship of Ogun State. That is not what I want to do now. It is not in my agenda and if offered, I will say no, I did not ask for it. People who do this job in Nigeria today are in their forties. This is not what I want to do now”.
