The presidency has condemned INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church Primate Elijah Ayodele’s foreboding and scary forecasts and prophecies about future events in Nigeria.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, termed the outspoken clergyman a bogus prophet whose prophesies never come true.

 

The cleric’s forecast that Nigeria will dissolve between 2035 and 2040 prompted Adesina to question the holiness of Ayodele prophecies.

 

The renowned seer had on July 10 predicted the disintegration of the country regardless of opposition from any region. He disclosed that none of the current frontline activist e.g  Nnamdi Kanu or Sunday Igboho would spearhead the inevitable balkanization.

 

In an article published on his Facebook page, Adesina, who acknowledged the humanitarian gesture and benevolent disposition of primate Ayodele towards his members, said he didn’t know the cleric for false prophecies.

 

He disclosed that he had once been a special guest primate Ayodele church during his time at the Sun newspaper.

 

“I know Primate Ayodele. I have been a special guest in his church when I was Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Newspapers.

 

“He does great things in terms of welfare for his flock. He empowers them wish cash and materials they can use to set up themselves gainfully. I was impressed with that. But the prophetic aspect?” Adesina said.

 

Adesina enumerated some of the prophecies of primate Ayodele that didn’t see the light of the day, adding said the long list of primate Ayodele’s failed prophecies showed he did hear from God or speak the truth.

 

“Let’s look at all these facts: in the build-up to 2015 presidential elections, Primate Ayodele said Goodluck Jonathan would win. The man lost. He said the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) would take Kaduna by a narrow margin. Nasir el-Rufai of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won. Again, he said Yobe, Gombe, Benue, Delta, and Akwa Ibom States would be won by PDP. The APC won three of those States. Who hit the crossbar? You know the answer.

 

“PDP will shock APC in Lagos. It didn’t happen. Boko Haram would bomb South West. Mercifully, it didn’t happen. APC would break, Buhari won’t do second term. You know the truth.

 

“And in 2017, when the President was on medical vacation abroad for many months, he said the seat was vacant, and the man would never return. You now know who didn’t speak the truth, who didn’t hear from God,” Adesina said.

 

Primate Ayodele is popular for his takes on state of the nation and prophecies on Nigeria socio-political and economic reality.
