Any attempt to subvert the will of Nigerians during the 2019 general election will have dire consequences for the unity of the country, two leading clerics Primate Elijah Ayodele and Primate Rufus Okikiola Ositelu have warned.

In separate prophecies on 2019 made available to Sunday Tribune, both envisaged, major crises if the elections were not free and fair.

Primate Ayodele, who is a popular seer and founder of the Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church with headquarters in Lagos, predicted that the “elections will be tough,” and fraught with serious challenges and irregularities.

“The forthcoming 2019 elections will be different from the 2015 elections. The elections will be tough. The fight will be serious. People will come out en masse to vote. Nobody will allow rigging. But the security agencies and INEC will cause a lot of problems; selling of votes, using security to terrorise people, thugs to hijack constituencies, will be major problems,” he stated.

In the prophecies that spanned a broad spectrum of issues, Primate Ayodele, nonetheless, underscored what he perceived as the aversion of the present Federal Government for truth.

“This government does not like to hear the truth. It is too desperate, too selfish,” he claimed.

He prophesied that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) faced uncertainties in Lagos, Oyo Ogun, Ondo, Imo and Kogi states in the elections because of intractable internal combustion,

On the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ayodele said the future of the party is bright if it conducted a free and fair primary election with the Senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki emerging as its presidential candidate for the general election.

“Let PDP engage in free, fair primaries. If Saraki gets that ticket, it will be over for the APC. He is the anointed person that can push PDP to the next level,” he said.
