“Stay Away From Osun Election” – Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu

As the Osun State governorship election draws closer, popular Nigerian seer and Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has urged President Bola Tinubu not to interfere in the election or influence its outcome.

The cleric gave the advice in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.

Primate Ayodele said: “Osun State election is in God’s hands. Let the Presidency stay away from influencing the election in any way because there will be consequences. The President must resist every temptation and counsel that may push him to have a hand in the outcome of the election; it will not end well if the will of God and that of the people are influenced or changed.”

“President Tinubu must know that this election has a lot to do with the 2027 presidential election, and influencing it will create a national crisis. It’s better to avoid it by staying away and let God’s will be done.”

“Our security operatives must be on the ground during the election because I foresee serious crisis and violence. Some groups have decided and concluded plans to cause trouble in the course of the election, and this can lead to bloodshed if not well handled. The people must be protected at all costs; enough security operatives must be deployed.”

“Governor Adeleke must prepare well; the election is going to look like war because his opposition is ready to take him out of the race. It will be an election of money, violence and manipulation. If he doesn’t stand well and stay on alert, even though he is the right person for the people of Osun, he may be rigged out”

“For the APC candidate, the governorship seat isn’t a must; he shouldn’t involve himself in violence or his followers because of the election. No life is worth being wasted because of the governorship position. Whatever the outcome is, take it in good faith,” he said.
