Primate Elijah Ayodele, the spiritual leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has prophesied a forthcoming referendum that will result in the division of Nigeria.
During a gathering with select editors at the church’s headquarters in Oke-Afa, Lagos, Primate Ayodele cautioned agitators such as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho that their endeavors are futile, advising them to let events unfold according to God’s timing.
He indicated that Nnamdi Kanu will remain detained for an extended period, emphasizing that significant changes are yet to occur in Nigeria. Primate Ayodele maintained that Nigerians are currently enduring hardship and that the time will come for a referendum to determine the nation’s fate.
Regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s aspirations for Biafra, Primate Ayodele suggested that he abandon the idea, hinting at an eventual split through a referendum. Additionally, he predicted that Sunday Igboho’s efforts would not bring about any change in Nigeria.
As he approaches his 30th year in the prophetic ministry, Primate Ayodele reflects on his predictions and the longevity of his career compared to his peers, attributing his success to being a divine vessel. He expressed discomfort with the fulfillment of some tragic prophecies.
Primate Ayodele attributed the ongoing crisis in Rivers State to divine intervention aimed at exposing and dismantling the influence of a political godfather. He forecasted a power struggle between Wike and Tinubu, emphasizing Wike’s desperation and advising Fubara to adopt a similar approach to maintain control in Rivers State.
In addressing the national crisis, Primate Ayodele dismissed the possibility of a quick resolution, predicting continued suffering until 2025. He acknowledged President Bola Tinubu’s past support but maintained that the nation’s challenges require a fresh approach beyond traditional political figures.
Regarding national security, Primate Ayodele proposed a spiritual solution involving the Service Chiefs bringing forth ‘Three Towers’ to combat insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping in Nigeria. He claimed that the nation’s security challenges have a spiritual dimension.
Primate Ayodele also turned his attention to the ongoing royalty crisis in Kano Emirate, warning that the conflict would escalate to the Southwest, resulting in a power struggle between two Oonis. He predicted a decline in the influence of traditional institutions and the erosion of the authority of local rulers.
Looking ahead to the Anambra governorship election, Primate Ayodele foresaw challenges for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in securing victory, highlighting the varying levels of desperation between Ifeanyi Uba and Soludo.
In assessing the Nigerian Church, Primate Ayodele criticized the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and its affiliates for engaging in politics influenced by state governors, rather than prioritizing spiritual matters. He questioned the integrity of the CAN leadership and its alignment with government interests.
