My Successor Will Be Chosen By God, Says Jang


JONAH-JANG
Governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, said yesterday that he would not be the one to choose and anoint his successor as he could only trust and look up to God to pick a suitable person to take succeed him.
Governor Jang, who made this statement while receiving officials of the state chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) during a courtesy visit at the Government Lodge, Jishe, said, “It’s God that will anoint a man after His own heart, a man who can stand for His name, a man who will be bold to do the right things and who can stand firmly for the people of Plateau State”.
The governor has often been reported as being reluctant to pick a successor because according to him, he has not ‘heard’ from God even as he is widely perceived as being hostile to anyone coming out to express interest in the governorship race, while he is yet to indicate his own wish.
Jang said that the much he has done in recent times as the incumbent governor, has been to direct his commissioners to prepare their handover notes, as he was interested in a proper transition to the next government come May 29, 2015.
Earlier, leader of the team and state Chairman of PFN, Rev. David Adegboye, said the Christian body was at the Government Lodge to appreciate the governor for the development projects he has executed in the state and to urge him to do more.
Adegboye said, “PFN has been enjoying your fellowship. We notice your development strides. Anyone visiting the state for the first time after the past ten years will marvel at how the state has changed for the better. We have come to appreciate you for this”.
The PFN leadership also conferred on the governor a merit award, a plaque for excellence in leadership and held a prayer session with him.

Let's help save the life of Nigerian doctor who got infected by Sawyer

Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (pictured above) is a Senior Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist at First Consultant Hospital in Lagos where late Liberian Patrick Sawyer was diagnosed with the deadly Ebola disease. She was one of those who diagnosed and was treating Sawyer at First Consultant before he died. Unfortunately she was infected by Sawyer. Her colleagues put her pic and case out at a press conference on Thursday, appealing to the U.S Govt to urgently send whatever treatment they have for the Ebola virus to Nige ria to save her life and that of other Nigerians at risk of the disease.  Her colleague Mr Okubadejo said on Thursday; “She treated Sawyer because she was patriotic only for her to be infected with the virus.
