The founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has reiterated that he stands by his earlier prophecy in which he said the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is the man chosen by God to lead Nigeria. The highly controversial prophesy came under the spotlight shortly after Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC emerged winner of the presidential election as announced by INEC. Many have gone online to call out the highly respected Primate Ayodele who has consistently been churning out staggering prophecies that have held the nation spellbound for decades running. This great man with unbelievable prophetic powers remains the only man on the face of the earth to release a book, a compendium of 10,000 staggering prophecies that shook the nation. And he is planning to put together another set of some of his outstanding prophecies released in the last few years. Without a doubt, his prophecies have been spot on. And the renowned man of God whose accomplishments have gone beyond the shores of Nigeria insist he got the Atiku prophecy spot on too, no matter what anybody says. The election, according to Primate Ayodele, was flawed in every respect and it was marred by massive rigging which enabled the APC to win, he says. But Tinubu is not the choice of God, Atiku is, and he is not ready to leave the choice made by God for the one made by man.
As would be expected, the man has come under heavy criticisms. But he remains unperturbed. He stands by his words. He is not the type of prophet that denies what he actually said. Never has been and never will be. His prophecy on Atiku has been misunderstood by many. He never said Atiku would win the election. He only said Atiku is God’s choce. But he insists he owes nobody any explanations neither should anyone expect any apologies from him because they won’t get any. He knows what he said. Those who follow him closely know he said. He has delivered the prophecy as sent him by God and for him, that is all that matters. Anyone who knows Primate Ayodele very well will tell you that he is a man that has no fear for the criticisms or persecution of man. None of that moves him. He is fearless. He says it as it is and moves on. No matter the pressure, nothing on earth would make him change what he said. He does not toy with his integrity. He does not open his doors to any form of compromise when it comes to his prophecies. He guards his prophecies jealously because every single one of them is divine. Anything that will make anyone bring his hard earned reputation into disrepute, he stands firmly against it.
And he has a warning for Nigerians. Hear him: “They don’t need to believe my prophecy on Atiku, that is not my concern. But, I must let them know that if Tinubu’s victory goes on to stand and he takes over government, then Nigerians must be prepred for real hardship. Tinubu’s government will bring them nothing but suffering.”
Few days ago, I put a call through to the extremely busy Primate. I wanted him to talk about the facts surrounding the prophecy. I wanted him to talk about Tinubu’s Emilokan declaration wg=hich he said sometime ago was highly spiritual and that Atiku and Obi needed to wake up and not take the declaration with levity because it is not ordinary. I had been on his trail since last week but his schedules have been simply hectic. I needed to be patient. I have known him for years and I know that he is one of the busiest men of God in the land today, so sometimes it can be almost impossible to get him to do a few minutes interview. But a few days back, I was lucky. He finally agreed to squeeze out time for us to talk. Enjoy excerpts from the interview.
The winner of the presidential election has emerged and it’s the same man whom you warned Atiku and Obi to be careful about his Emilokan declaration, that it was spiritual…what exactly did you see, sir?
Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar did not take my prophecy seriously when I made the pronouncement on January 31st that the Emilokan declaration by Bola Tinubu should not be taken with levity. It was published in many publications including City People and was published online as well. I said it then but none of these people was listening to me. I told everyone that Emilokan is spiritual. It is not ordinary and should not be regarded as one. You can quote me anywhere, I said Emilokan is spiritual and it is meant to take Tinubu to Aso rock by force.
Last December 18, 2022, in an interview I granted, I said Tinubu is desperate spiritually to become president. He is desperate spiritually, financially, technically to become Nigeria’s president by all means. And in another interview I granted, I said if Tinubu is really as desperate as he appears, he will spend four years in power. Then, also going by what I said at the eve of the elections that Atiku is God’s choice, while Tinubu is the choice made by human beings, I still stand by it. Now, the human beings have made their choice. Now let me make this very clear, I am not denying my prophecy, I am not changing anything, the prophecy is still valid. I have said it before and I will say it again, Atiku is God’s choice and Tinubu is the choice made by man. Like I said before, the election will be full of flaws. I also said BVAS will disappoint INEC. All that I have said have come to pass, despite the fact that Atiku and Peter Obi did not listen to my instructions. I know that this government is not approved by God and for that reason, there will be a lot of sufferings and hardship. I do not know what will happen yet because I am yet to see the effectiveness of the government and for this reason, there is going to be protests. The government will try its best but they will fail because this government has not been approved by God. They will mess up a lot of things. I quote from the 1st Kings, 12 verse 14, this government is a government that will deal with Nigerians with a lot of hardship. I did not change my prophecy. I did not even prophesy that Atiku will win, but what I said is that I declare the state of God, I did not say that he will win.
Check all my interviews. There was even a write up on the 8th of February, where I said categorically that I didn’t say Atiku will win, and mind you, I am not being apologetic of anything, people might begin to misinterpret my prophecy but am not apologetic. My position still remains that Tinubu’s government is not of God, it is one established by human beings and not God. To be honest with you, I have not seen this government making any headway or recording any success in the governance of this country.
I remember back then when you talked about the Emilokan mantra, you said the confidence with which Tinubu spoke is not ordinary…..
(Cuts in) Oh, yes, because Emilokan is divine. Emilokan is spiritual. The more Tinubu says Emilokan, the more it finds strength and becomes reality in the spirit world. But Emilokan is not going to give Nigeria what Nigeria needs.
So, we shouldn’t expect any good thing from this government?
Don’t expect any miracle from the Tinubu administration, it’s a government of deceit. I cannot see anything fantastic coming out of the governmernt. Expect so many things that will happen from this government that will shock Nigeria. The government will shock Nigeria.
I also know that you have often said that even if Tinubu wins he may not go beyond four years…
If the government stays, it’s a government oif option. But a lot of things will happen along the way. A lot of secrets will be exposed because people didn’t vote for them. All they did was rig their way through the elections.
So, once again, my prophecy is still valid. I am not going to change anything. No matter what anybody says, Atiku is still God’s choice and not that of man. So, why would I leave the choice of God and stick with the choice of man? If eventually Tinubu’s government becomes reality the country will be in very serious pain. There will be economic hardship and so many other things. That’s why I quoted from the 1st Kings, chapter 12 vs 14, that’s exactly what we will experience with the government.
As for Sanwo-Olu, let Lagosians come out and vote for Sanwo-Olu, he is God’s choice for Lagosians. If we go by the choice of man, Lagosians will suffer for it, so lets go with God’s choice. So, I am not to condemn anybody.
In Taraba, the PDP governorship candidate is a man called Kefas Agbu and he is God’s choice for Taraba. If they vote for any other candidate it is going to be hardship for the people of Taraba.
