Jonathan‘ll Not Know Peace If He Runs in 2015 – Primate Ayodele

o   Foresees New Party threatens PDP’s dominance

o   Says APC is wasting its time, can’t win presidency.

o   Says Prayers won't stop Nigeria' break-up

The founder, INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele has said that myriads of troubles await President Jonathan Goodluck if he eventually forces his way into the presidency in 2015.

Ayodele released thIs bombshell recently when fielding questions from the News Magazine crew.

The renowned seer who advised the President not to force himself on the country in 2015 as his second term would be replete with flurry of economic, political, security and diplomatic challenges, also informed that he foresaw the emergence of a new political party threatening the Peoples' Democratic Party(PDP)’s dominance of governance.

His words: “ I foresee the emergence of a new political party that will threaten the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s dominance. The party I am talking about is not All Progressive Congress (APC). Those ones are just wasting their time.

“President Jonathan is getting a lot of things wrong and his political miscalculations will cost him a lot towards the race in 2015. I repeat, he will not know peace, if he forces his way into power”.

 The publisher of the annual prediction books, entitled “Warnings to the Nations”, which was first published in 1994, said his predictions are God-inspired.

While talking about the eminent break-up of Nigeria as earlier predicted by the United State of America in 2005, the prominent preacher informed: “But I have seen that in the nearest future, which may be 30 or 40 years, Nigeria will cease to be a nation. It would break into six nations. That was why I said that even if they pray, it would not work.

“The only way Nigerians would understand the situation better is when the much-touted sovereign national conference is held. I can tell you that the conference will still come up. The break-up will not be bloody and I must stress that only God can save Nigeria”.

On the issue of corruption, despite the growing religiosity in the country, coupled with the conspiracy of silence on the part of the Nigerian clergymen to openly condemn stealing by the country’s political elite, Ayodele accused the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as a corrupt body, which is not doing what it ought to do.

The seer asked rhetorically: How do you expect a pastor who is led by the spirit of money to preach against corruption?

His words: “I have said it before that there would be corruption in Nigeria that even the EFCC would not be allowed to operate as expected. Before we talk about corruption in the polity, let’s focus on the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). It is unfortunate that despite the poverty in the Christendom, where Christian youths are unemployed and are into cultism, CAN President, Ayo Oritsajafor is more concerned about riding on a private jet on the needy in the society. Part of corruption is where we have Mr. and Mrs. leading a church, with the pastor being the head and the wife, the treasurer.

“We live in a society in which poverty is grinding. Where it is okay for people, including pastors, to ride good cars or live well, flying around in private jets over the poor is nonsense. Go to churches on Sunday and you will find out many of the members of the congregation do not have any money. Some would even look out for people to either tell their problems or give them money.

“Besides, President Goodluck Jonathan cannot fight corruption because the government he heads is corrupt.

“Moreso, they are using the power of darkness to rule the nation and that is why there is bloodshed everywhere. Very soon the hands of God will weigh heavily on corrupt leaders and those who keep stealing the country’s money”.

The prominent clergyman submitted: “Basically, it is impossible for this government to handle the issue of corruption. How do you expect a pastor who is led by the spirit of money to preach against corruption? In summary, Nigeria needs prayers and CAN is not doing what it ought to do. Until this government turns to God and does His will, I do not see it enjoying any peace”.

Ayodele, who informed that his church runs a humanitarian service for the widows, orphans and the less-privileged, regardless of their religious beliefs, decried the commercial angle pastors who own schools that most of their members cannot afford to send their children to. He submitted that such pastors did not have the interests of the masses at heart.
