The spiritual leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a caution to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke regarding the upcoming governorship election. Speaking through his media representative, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele declared that Adeleke has been divinely chosen to win but the APC is plotting to undermine his victory.
According to the cleric, the governor must remain vigilant as there are schemes to pressure the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) into compromising the election’s integrity. He stated, ‘God has already anointed Ademola Adeleke for a second term. He will emerge victorious, but the APC is preparing for post-election maneuvers. They will attempt to rob him of his win if he is not watchful.’
Ayodele urged Adeleke to stay close to the process and deploy ground-level vigilance, as the opposition has finalized plans to go beyond the ballot box to secure victory through any means. The governor must hold on to his win until the final declaration.
The prophet also addressed INEC chairman Prof Joash Amupitan, warning him against being manipulated by the APC. He cautioned that if Amupitan allows election rigging, he will face severe repercussions from God, the people of Osun, and all Nigerians. ‘If the election is manipulated, the INEC chairman will suffer the consequences, and those who pushed him into it will abandon him. He should ensure a fair process to avoid problems after the election. He must not be a tool for politicians in the state; otherwise, God’s anger will be upon him, and the people of Nigeria will not forgive him.’
