LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, the Spiritual Head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Ministry, has affirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election was a spiritual triumph.
He made this assertion during the launch of his annual ‘Warning to All Nations’ book over the weekend in Lagos.
This statement is also coming on the back of Tinubu’s recent revelation that he invoked the spirit of ‘emilokan’ (loosely translated as it is my turn) from the palace of the Awujale of Ijebuland during a recent visit to Ogun State.
Primate Ayodele, who had previously predicted that President Tinubu was spiritually ready for the presidency, said this was evident in the manner of his win.

He said: “When we said Tinubu was ready technically, spiritually, economically, legally, otherwise… psychologically. Er… when somebody says ‘emilokan’, you might be thinking that he’s just saying that mere saying, but we that know that this is spiritual, we know that Tinubu’s victory was not just politics. It was more spiritual, and he confirmed it by himself.
“E gb’owo pamo, e gb’epo pamo; a ma d’ibo, a ma wole… it was very, very spiritual. And he kept saying it that ’emilokan’. Check it, that mantra has a lot of power, a lot of positive energy.
“So, Atiku was not ready, Obi was not ready, they’re doing like ajebutter (sic), waiting for court, that one lawyer, that one judge will just change this thing. “
He also spoke on the chances of either of the opposition parties winning the cases in court.
“You think that Tinubu will just sit down and fold his arms? They will put all these lawyers and judges inside one calabash and throw them inside water.
“Somebody who said that no matter what it takes… do anything. You know that he’s desperate. Spiritually, he’s desperate, and who’ll take him out of the way, it’s only God.

“Although Atiku and Obi have wasted their time, they’re butty. They’re not serious, they’re not ready to take a position, the number one position.
“You have to be ready with everything you know not just by mouth, and start making noise; they’re just noisemakers. They’ll go on internet, internet will give you victory? This place na America? Or na London? Even in America and London too they’ve been going spiritual. That’s why you’ll see them visit Pope and do all sorts.
“So, Tinubu’s victory was totally spiritual,” the highly controversial cleric offered.
