Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has revealed how he warned Governor Godwin Obaseki and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) about the consequences of not paying attention to his advice before the election.
In a statement signed Tuesday by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele stated the opposition parties in Nigeria are not on ground but active only on digital platforms.
TRIBUNE ONLINE recalls the cleric has cautioned that doing so would lead to failure and potentially end Obaseki’s political career.
Specifically, Primate Ayodele had foreseen that forcing a candidate on the party would result in a political embarrassment for Obaseki, despite having accurately predicted Obaseki’s second-term victory in the past.
‘’I have been warning Edo PDP and Governor Obaseki about the outcome of the result seven different times but they refused to listen to warnings, they didn’t do what was needed to win the election. This is what Nigerians should be expecting in 2027, if care isn’t taken, election malpractice will determine who will win the election.
‘’There is no judiciary to win your rights; Edo is a precedent of what they should expect in 2027. The opposition is weak, PDP governors are all dormant, selfish and confused, the party is dead physically and spiritually.’’
Primate Ayodele described opposition parties as people in bondage that have been reduced to ceremonial politicians. He mentioned some vibrant opposition members who had clout unlike the new generation of opposition parties.
‘’There is no opposition, the oppositions are in bondage, they are just ceremonial governors, they don’t have action. Where are the likes of Wike, Saraki, Oshiomhole, Rotimi Amaechi, Fayose in opposition parties, they are all gone.
“The new generation of opposition parties are too dull, what we have left is digital opposition.
“Especially in PDP, Most governors are after their personal interest, they have no clout and will only betray themselves,‘’ he added.
