The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Sunday warned the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, to be on the alert regarding the upcoming governorship election in the state.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said Adeleke has been ‘anointed’ to win the election but the APC will make moves to snatch victory from him.
The cleric warned the governor not to relent as there are plans to pressure the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to compromise.
He said: “In Osun election, God has already anointed Ademola Adeleke to secure a second term in office. He will win the election, but the APC are working towards the aftermath of the win. They will attempt to snatch victory from Adeleke if he isn’t careful enough.
“The governor must follow them closely and ensure he has eyes on the ground because they have already concluded their plans to go beyond the election polls to get victory by all means. Adeleke must stay with his win till the very end.”
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele warned the INEC chairman, Prof Joash Amupitan, against allowing himself to be used by the opposition party in Osun, stating that he will be made to suffer for it if he doesn’t allow things to go the way they should.
He urged him not to play games with the election to avoid being used as a ‘scapegoat’ by God, the people of Osun and Nigerians.
“If the election is rigged, the INEC chairman will be made to suffer for it and those who pushed him into it will not stand by him. It’s better he allows things to go the way they should to avoid any issues after the election.
“He shouldn’t allow himself to be used by politicians in the state; if not, God will be angry with him, and the people of Nigeria will not take it easy with him.”
