ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned that any presidential candidate supported by Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, will fail.
The cleric predicted that Governor Wike will only cause a pandemic for the All Progressives Congress (APC), presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
In a statement by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, on Sunday, Primate Ayodele explained that Wike is playing with his political future with some of the actions he has taken in recent times.
He said: “APC and Tinubu will fail in Rivers State. The support for Tinubu by Wike is a pandemic, anyone the governor supports will definitely fail.
“Wike is playing with his political future and this will have a dent on him. His people will not listen to him because he has passed his boundary.’’
Ayodele also warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), over election concerns, saying he foresees fraud by the electoral body.
He expressed worry over the electronic transmission process and the BVAS, saying that some officials of INEC will compromise and some elements will try to frustrate the success of the 2023 general elections.
‘’INEC must be up and doing in this election, lots of hanky-panky games will happen in the commission. I am worried about INEC electronic transmission and BVAS issues.
“There could be means of using the device negatively if some officials of the commission compromise.
“There are cabals that want to frustrate the efforts of INEC, they are not interested in the success of this election,” he added.
