The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Wednesday, denied reports that he prophesied that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State would become Nigeria’s president.

Primate Ayodele clarified that there was never a time he said Makinde would become Nigeria’s president either ahead of the 2027 election or after.

The clergyman explained that he only advised Makinde to begin consultation for higher ground in his political career but never mentioned the presidency as the higher ground he meant.

Primate Ayodele’s clarification was contained in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho.

The statement reads: “It has been brought to our attention that some highly respected news organizations are sharing reports that Primate Ayodele revealed in a prophecy that Governor Seyi Makinde will become the President of Nigeria.

“This is not only disturbing but embarrassing and disappointing that some media organizations that should uphold the ethics of the journalism profession are getting themselves involved in tarnishing the image of the profession.

“Primate Ayodele’s statement was advice to Seyi Makinde regarding the next chapter of his political career and he called on him to begin 21 days of consultation to reach a higher ground in his career.

“In the video which was quoted in these reports, Primate Ayodele clearly said that Seyi Makinde is going to a higher ground but he needs to consult adequately. He warned that if he missed the chance, he would be sent completely packing politically.”
