5 Deputy Governors Bomb Primate Ayodele, Calls Him Fake Prophet

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

When Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, the Spiritual head of INRI Evangelistic Spiritual Church, Oke Afa, Lagos gave his recent prophecy concerning five deputy governors of Nigerian states who will betray their bosses, he probably might have not bargained for what he would received as reaction from them.
The Deputy  governors, who are of Abia, Ebonyi, Kano, Sokoto and Taraba not only rejected Ayodele’s prophecy, they also alerted the public to be aware that Ayodele is a false prophet and should be disregarded.
Ayodele recently prophecised that those deputy governors will have issues with their principals (governors) before the end of their tenure.
He also published the prophecy in which the cleric made certain wild assertions concerning the future of these politicians.
But in a swift reaction, Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, Dr Kelechi Igwe  described the publication as outright falsehood designed to create rancour and disaffection in the polity.
In a statement he issued in Abuja on behalf of his other colleagues, Igwe faulted the cleric on his prediction and accused him of concocting prophecies that had no foundation in reality.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored this so called prophecy but doing so could create the impression that we believe him or that he should be taken seriously.  We make bold to state that this prophecy like the ones before it are fallacies meant to create tension, rancor and unnecessary friction in the polity.

“We vehemently reject this so called prophesy which in our own estimation is nothing but a figment of the imagination of the man who released it. We all have had and still have very good working relationship with our bosses in our various states and do not see any reason for the predicted crisis. We urged the government and the good people in our various states to ignore Primate Elijah Ayodele for he knows not what he is saying or doing. Primate Ayodele could not have heard from God because he has been in the business of releasing false prophecies at every turn in the politics of Nigeria and the world.”
They recalled that it was same Ayodele who predicted that former President Goodluck Jonathan would win the 2015 presidential election; it was he who predicted that Governor Nasir El- Rufai will not win the governorship election in Kaduna State last year and it was the same man who recently predicted victory for Hilary Clinton, the Democratic Party candidate in the just concluded elections in the United States,” he said.
Igwe said that with the series of failed prophecies emanating from the clergyman,  he should  be hiding his face from God and the general public, adding that he lacked the credibility to utter any further “gibberish”  in the name of prophecy.
