The Presidential election of Sierra Leone was held last weekend with the incumbent, President Julius Maada Bio retaining his seat. He slightly escaped a run-off as he got 56% of the votes to defeat his closest rival, Samura Kamara of the APC who got 41% of the total votes. According to the rules that govern the electoral process in the country, a candidate must have 55% of the votes if not, a run-off will be declared. Fortunately, President Bio was able to get 56%. Even though President Bio has been sworn in immediately he was declared winner, the election outcome has been marred by critics who feel it wasn’t free and fair. Some quarters believe there was a kind of subjugation following an attack on Samura Kamara and his party members at their headquarters on Sunday. All of these developments only exude the prophetic prowess of prominent Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele who had released several prophetic warnings to President Julius Maada Bio. The prophet in his prophecies made

In the early hours of Saturday, the leader of a private military company –Wagner Group operating in Russia and fighting alongside the country against Ukraine embarked on a mission that can be best described as a coup attempt. He declared the war with Ukraine as unjust and expressed his plans to topple the government of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin. His announcement to relegate Putin shook the world, especially for the fact that he controls sensitive sections of Russia’s military system. The move by Wagner’s group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin was indeed a palace coup attempt. On account of the present situation in Russia, it seems as if the Wagner group’s chief is carrying out a prophetic script as a result of President Putin’s choice to ignore warnings from Primate Elijah Ayodele, a renowned man of God from Nigeria. Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia happened, Primate Ayodele is one man of God that has continued to warn President Putin to stop the war because he will not win it

  A presidential aspirant under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections, Mr. Stanley Osifo has advised Nigerians to bear with the government on the removal of fuel subsidy. Osifo, who spoke in an interview, said that President Bola Tinubu has good plans for Nigeria and that the recent appointments by the president are not lopsided as against the views of some Nigerians. Excerpts: Some people are saying that most of the recent appointees of President Bola Tinubu are Yorubas and that ethnicity is being played up again in political apportionments, what do you say to that? It's very funny, appointments go with Federal Character principle. The President is just starting and Nigerians are impressed with him over his actions. He has just started, he has not even spent one month in office. He was inaugurated on May 29, 2023 and within few weeks, he has proven himself. These issues of ethnicity, tribalism and regionalism will not help us in Nigeria. What we

Osifo stated this in a statement to congratulate Senator Godswill Akpabio on his emergence as the President of the Senate yesterday in Lagos.

In an explosive statement released in Lagos early today by his media adviser, Ladi Ayodeji, the Reverend expressed concern on a range of burning national issues and capped them up with his vision for Nigeria. Below is the full statement, issued to mark the Reverend's 64th birthday: " It is hubristic naivety to envisage the emergence of a new Nigeria from a moribund political cocoon corrupted by duplicity, political criminality and the travesty of the electoral-social etiquette. "The current presidential system of governance has again manifested itself as a hydra-headed monstrousity. "No matter the outcome of the adjudications of the cases brought before the Nigeria assizes, by opposing political parties, nothing tangible will be achieved under this debilitating system. "We must be willing and courageous enough to abandon this

Indeed, Heaven and earth may pass away but none of God’s word will return to Him void. Likewise, the words of true prophets may take years or months to be fulfilled but one thing is sure, they will always come to pass because prophets are God’s messengers, they speak according to what God revealed to them and how can a true prophet be known? When he says and it comes to pass. The sudden suspension of EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa may be a surprise to many but it has been long foretold by Primate Elijah Ayodele in 2021, the year he was appointed to lead the commission. When prophets warn people, it’s so unfortunate that many of them don’t listen and they always end up paying heavily for it. Abdulrasheed Bawa has sadly found himself in the category of people who ignore prophetic warnings because if he listened, he would have definitely averted the embarrassment he is currently enmeshed in. Primate Ayodele who also foretold the suspension of former EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu made it k

The national assembly election to produce the next senate president of the 10th assembly was held yesterday with Senator Godswill Akpabio becoming the winner, defeating his closest rival, Senator Abdulazeez Yari. Months before the election, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, who is known for his prophecies on everything regarding governance, revealed that the next senate president of Nigeria should be someone from the southeast zone. He then mentioned that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is the most qualified among the Igbos to become the next senate president. His reason was due to the marginalization of the Igbos for several years in the country. In his message, Primate Ayodele advised Igbo lawmakers to rally around Kalu and seek support for him so he can emerge as the next senate president. The man of God explained that Kalu’s emergence as senate president will help the country’s democracy to thrive and will relax the agitations for inclusiveness in government by th
