Ahead of the 2015 gubernatorial elections in Lagos state, those aspiring to succeed Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the state, are going spiritual with a view to becoming the choice of the party.

There is much pressure on the APC to produce a vibrant and credible candidate to fill in Fashola’s big shoes.

Checks by Daily Sun revealed that the party’s leadership is considering two major criteria as qualities of the would-be successor of Fashola. The criteria, according to a source close to the party’s ACME Road secretariat include high intelligence quotient and track record of performance that can convince the leadership that the aspirant can surpass Fashola’s performance when elected governor.

Osun defenders claim that not a few Muslim governorship aspirants spent some days in Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj (Umrah) during the just concluded Ramadan fast to seek the face of God in the gubernatorial project, just as they also keep in touch with their religious leaders on their ambition.

Meanwhile, their Christian counterparts, investigations revealed, are also in close contact with their spiritual mentors in various highbrow worship centres within the state and beyond.

Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and several Islamic organizations have also embarked on internal screening of would-be candidate for the Alausa government house seat.
