As the 2023 general elections approach Nigerians are conscientized and sensitized on not just what to expect from the election, but also to do the right things in order to change the political and economic dynamics, trajectory and pendulum of the country for peace, progress and development.
Concerned Nigerian spiritual leaders are therefore offering advisory solutions based on prophecies, and, if possible warnings of inherent dangers in choosing wrong candidates, especially as it concerns the presidency.
In this regard, the Servant of the Most High God and Founder, INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Ejigbo, Lagos, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, has revealed what to expect from the major contending candidates in 2023 presidential election, saying that if the Labour Party candidate, Mr Peter Obi, wins the presidency, it is going to be a government for the poor where the rich will be complaining.
Speaking on the election Ayodele revealed “Nigeria is pregnant. In 2023, the unexpected is going to happen. I do not have any favourite candidate among those who are contesting. But God revealed to me that if Atiku wins the presidency, Nigeria’s economy will improve and if the APC candidate, Tinubu, gets the ticket, Nigeria will be a little better. If the Labour Party wins the presidency, it is going to be a government for the poor where the rich will be complaining. PDP government will be for the poor and the rich, the elite under APC government, but the grassroots will enjoy it including the uneducated,” he stated.
The INRI Founder who was speaking to Journalist recently at his international headquarters at Oke-Afa, Ejigbo, maintained that restructuring in Nigeria is still a pipe dream since those against it are still alive. “Restructuring is the answer to Nigeria’s challenges. But I don’t see any of the presidential candidates being able to restructure Nigeria now. If they say they are going to restructure, they are telling a lie. There are evil forces behind successive governments’ inability to restructure. No president will restructure the country when those leaders who are against restructuring are still alive. Some people have to die to have a new Nigeria. If those people holding Nigeria to ransom are still alive, Nigeria will not progress.”
Speaking further on the voting pattern of state in the forthcoming election he said “The northern power brokers are divided over Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Abubakar Atiku of PDP and Bola Tinubu of APC. Some Northerners love Obi, some love Atiku and some emirs love Tinubu. I don’t see any past leaders supporting Tinubu’s ambition. I see northerners betraying Tinubu and people within his party, people who are close to him, will also betray him.
“APC, LP and PDP will fight to win. Lagos is for APC, but LP cannot be brushed aside in Lagos and may spring up surprises in some areas. Anambra State is between PDP and LP. In Kwara State, it is between APC and PDP. PDP may spring a surprise in Kwara except APC sits up. APC should not underrate Bukola Saraki now because what PDP is doing in Kwara in terms of mobilisation is what APC had done before to win the state.
“Osun State, it is between APC and PDP. I don’t see the Labour Party in the equation. I don’t see Kwankwaso’s NNPP making any progress. He is just wasting his money and energy. He can only get a few National Assembly members and maybe local government chairmen.
“In Oyo State, it is between PDP and APC. Ekiti is for PDP and APC. Enugu is for Labour Party and PDP. Abia State will be shared between the Labour Party and PDP. Ebonyi is for APC, PDP and Labour. Cross River is for PDP, APC and Labour. Katsina is for PDP and APC. Adamawa is for PDP and APC. Kano State is for PDP and APC. Niger is between PDP and APC. Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi, Nasarawa and Jigawa states are for PDP and APC. FCT is between APC, PDP and Labour. Zamfara is between PDP and APC. Taraba is between PDP and APC. Ondo is between PDP and APC. Benue is between APC and PDP. Rivers is between Labour and PDP. Bayelsa is between Labour and PDP. Delta is between APC, PDP and LP. Akwa Ibom is between Labour and PDP.
He said INEC is duty bound to use the BVAS “INEC must use BVAS for the election, otherwise, Nigerians will be disappointed and they will suffer three times what they are suffering under this present government. With BVAS, APC is out of the race because it will be difficult for any party to rig itself into power. With BVAS, the election rigging will be minimal as BVAS will checkmate rigging. So says the Lord,” Ayodele stated.
