The Primate of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Elijah Ayodele, has warned Senate President Bukola Saraki to run for the Presidency in 2019 or face the wrath of God.
The primate known for the near-accuracy of his prophecies was speaking at the dedication of the Emi Ni Aseyori Kan Pro Cathedral a.k.a Sope Parish in Lagos, weekend.
He also urged Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be wary of President Muhammadu Buhari as he would be used and dumped.
“I want to tell Saraki now to make up his mind, because God has ordained him to help this country. He should come out to contest for president. It’s not by noise. At the moment, he is the one who can move Nigeria forward.
“So, I want him to take the bold step and make up his mind or else, God would deal with him. I don’t make predictions; I give prophecies. However, I am not God. God can choose to delay when fulfilling certain prophecies.”
On Tinubu, the cleric stated: “The present ‘romance’ going on between Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Buhari is deception; they’re deceiving Tinubu. They just want to use him and dump him. Until we appreciate God and not man, the country will continue to experience underdevelopment”.
But on Tuesday, Saraki denied a report by The Boss newspaper which reported that he was running for president in 2019.
The Boss, owned by Dele Momodu, had claimed it had exclusive knowledge of Saraki’s presidential bid.
“The Boss can exclusively reveal that Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has joined the 2019 Presidential race,” the paper reported last week.
However, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, said the report was false.
“The report is false. If it is true that he is contesting, you would have seen the report it (sic) in major dailies since last week Saturday when the news broke out on social media. But as you can see, there is nothing like that,” Olaniyonu said in an interview with Daily Independent.
