We are once again constrained to call on all well meaning individuals in Anambra and beyond to help prevail on Primate Elijah Ayodele, Leader, INRI Evangelical Church to halt this sudden fixation on Distinguished Senator Andy Uba, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the politics of Anambra State.
We urge him to copy good examples from men of God who understand that one of the most cherished values of Christianity is it's solute neutrality in human politics.
It doesn't signify impassivity. It simply acknowledges that rulership comes from God.
Therefore, a situation where a so called man of God wakes up at random to make strange permutations in the name of prophesies like he has been doing, particularly in the last few days on Anambra state politics leaves so much to be questioned.
Again, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Ayodele, in another set of his controversial prophecies painted unflattering image of the forthcoming election in Anambra state and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Primate Ayodele claimed that God showed him that there would be advanced rigging during the election, adding that the outcome would determine so many things ahead of 2023.
He claimed that in his said vision, the ruling party wants to go all out to rig the election in favour of its candidate.
It may help to also recall that the same self proclaimed man of God had prophesied that APC stands a better chance of winning the election if it fields George Muoghalu, and the APC aspirant was defeated by Distinguished Senator Andy Uba at the party Primary election.
To now come out to foresee doomsday for the state, the same APC and the country because his preferred candidate, Muoghalu, is no longer in the race shows the depth of charlatanism Primate Ayodele has fallen into.
When the Primate made that prediction, we at the Andy Uba Campaign Council (AUCC), were forced to call him out for what he truly is. We advised the cleric not to bring God's altar to ridicule.
Since it appears that the cleric is unwilling to listen to reason and common sense, we are again compelled to advert to our earlier position on him that such blatant, open partisan and unabashedly unsolicited campaign, completely contrasts with teachings of Christianity, a religion Distinguished Sen. Andy Uba is completely devoted to.
Let us also point out again that we, at AUCC, predominantly Christians, too, are again embarrassed by the clear, verifiable shenanigans of Primate Ayodele and his litany of fake prophesies.
Was it not the same cleric who, in 2019, claimed that he saw a vision of Saraki winning the presidential election for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)?
Did PDP win? Where is Saraki now?
He also prophesied against APC and Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state, and said the party will lose, but the governor won uptill Supreme Court.
We are at a complete loss, in total bewilderment as to the manner of fake prophesies the Primate has consistently dished out which neither conforms with ecclesiastical teachings nor to the spirituality of the human salvation.
If the cleric must embarrass himself with this ritual of annual fake prophesies, we urge him to leave God and Christianity out of it.
If one may ask, why is Primate Ayodele so fixated on APC and Anambra? Where was he when an opposition party won in Edo state. There has been elections at Bayelsa and Ondo so far credited with integrity. Why weren't any vision made on them?
Let us make it abundantly clear to men like Ayodele and his sponsors that under President Muhammadu Buhari, old things have since passed away.
Integrity has been the watch word, a reason why elections in Nigeria are becoming progressively cleaner.
