Primate Ayodele
The Founder and General Overseer of Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has spoken on who is likely to be Nigeria’s next president, noting that “the next president will shock a lot.”
According to him, “It is not the way that some are seeing it that it will go.
“The next President is not coming by noise. If Nigeria fails to get the right President there will be hardship, the terrorism will be alarming, there will be economic instability, a kind of disintegration. It is not by ethnicity that we will get us the right president. We need God’s intervention. PDP, APC, NNPP and Labour have good candidates but what I will advise is that they all come together to form coalition. But the egoism present among the four of them will not make them form a coalition.”
Continuing, Ayodele said: “Nigeria is not stable now, it is shaking at this juncture and none of these people will get it (things done) excellently whereas Nigeria needs excellent performance.
“One of them (the presidential candidates) is bad. Dollar will come down if we get the right President. At the end of the day who we think will be the winner will not be the winner. Not that I am afraid to say it but let people use their reasoning to deduce from what I have said.
“We need government that will make life better, Nigeria is sick – spiritually, economically, physically, etc. So who will do it right? If we do not allow the person that God has in store to rule Nigeria, Nigeria will suffer and we will regret voting in 2023. Do not let it be as if I am supporting anybody but if the right person does not emerge, I will talk. But let us leave it the way it is so it won’t look like I’m campaigning for anybody.”
On the crisis rocking PDP, Primate Ayodele said: “G-5 is a mirage. I pity Nyesom Wike because he is going to sink politically. He doesn’t have the foresight of what he is doing. I am only speaking as sent by God to him.
“I am not interested in mentioning anybody’s name nor do I want to make anyone popular. But Wike has chewed more than what he can take. I pity people like Makinde, Ikpeazu and Ortom because the more they are following him, the more problems they are having. They will betray themselves because they do not see anything but believing they are enjoying their time.
“Meanwhile, PDP should know that Jonathan is not giving them support, he is not with Atiku,” he said.
