The
founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said
the Senate President Bukola Saraki will win the 2019 presidential election if
he grabs the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party.
He,
however, warned that the 2019 election will be tougher than that of 2015. The cleric
said he saw storms that period but was quick to add that the country would
still survive the period.
He warned
that the raging National Assembly crisis might lead to the collapse of
democracy in Nigeria if not well handled.
Ayodele
spoke on Wednesday in Ikere-Ekiti at an empowerment programme he organised in
memory of his late father, Elder Olalekan Ayodele, who died 15 years ago.
He donated
cash and foodstuff to hundreds of widows and orphans at the event which he said
was a means of giving them succour and a sense of belonging.
Ayodele
also advised the Ekiti State Governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to listen to
the people for him to succeed in his administration.
He advised
the All Progressives Congress to put its house in order in Osun State to
achieve victory at the September 22 governorship election.
On the
National Assembly crisis, he said: “Whatever they are doing in the Senate or in
government, that is their own problem.
“I have
said that nobody can remove Saraki, I don’t know Saraki, I have not met Saraki
and I don’t know (Godswill) Akpabio. The issue of Saraki, I am not interested
because I am not a politician.
“Who is
that politician that is not corrupt and who is that politician that does not
steal money? Saraki is one of the anointed persons in this country. I don’t see
Atiku going too far.
“I am not
defending Saraki but if Saraki is removed, PDP will sink and if PDP wants to
move forward and Saraki having the ticket, PDP will win.”
