Why Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies On Anambra Governorship Election Stand Out
Written By Osho Oluwatosin
A true prophet is rare in this dispensation, what we have most of the times are prophets who give ‘prophecies’ when there is a situation on ground that already looks like what they are prophesying about.
Biblically, it doesn’t look like prophecy but an opinion or guesswork after studying the underlying situation.
I would love to borrow the word of a popular man of God that says a true prophet is one prophesies when there is no situation on ground. A true prophet is one who speaks into the future, he talks on issues people never believe but eventually comes to pass.
We have several prophets in Nigeria and the Anambra gubernatorial election which will be happening in seven-day time seem to have separated the shaft from the wheat.
As we speak, we have about three prominent prophets that have spoken about the coming election at different times.
They include Primate Elijah Ayodele, Prophet Odumeje and Rev Fr Mbaka. Until recently, Primate Ayodele has been the only one giving several prophecies about this election before Prophet Odumeje and Rev Fr Mbaka joined last week.
Amongst these prophets, Primate Elijah Ayodele who is the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual church is different and distinct in his prophecies on the election.
As a matter of fact, there is no election in Nigeria and the world at large that he doesn’t prophecy what the outcome would be and one interesting part about him is the uniqueness.
His style is giving prophetic advice to political parties on candidates they should choose, after then he talks about what will define the election, then the chances of the candidates in the election, then the winner of the election.
He follows that consistent pattern to give these prophecies and it is one of the reasons his prophecies are always referenced in any election in Nigeria and the world.
Infact, many politicians end up misrepresenting his prophecies and use it for their campaigns, which shows how powerful and distinct his prophecies have become over the years.
We earlier mentioned three prophets who have given prophecies on the November 6 election.
It is important to state in clear terms what they said exactly about the election.
Prophet Odumeje revealed that he doesn’t see an election holding, he said it will be an election of guns and violence.
‘“The future I am looking at, everybody will be shocked because there will massive death. I am seeing a massive death. And it shall be gun to gun.”
He added: “I am looking at an election that will come in Anambra State. Be praying. I don’t see elections, I see deaths. I see deaths of guns[sic].”
“I don’t see the election holding. I have been praying and telling God. Because I am seeing where people kill people. Don’t say I did not said [sic] it.”
Rev Fr Mbaka didn’t come out straight but he stylishly endorsed the candidate of Accord party, Godwin Maduka and revealed that he is the best candidate Anambra can have as a governor during his visit to Mbaka’s church.
These were said earlier this week, few days to the election.
The prophecies of Primate Ayodele on Anambra election dates back to December 2019.
He had clearly stated that APC will not win the governorship election in the state 11 months before the election.
In March again, Primate Ayodele released another prophecy where he talked about candidates that won’t win election even if they get chosen by their party.
‘’ “On Anambra 2021, I want to advice Paul Orajiaka, Andy Uba from APC, Uche Ekwunife, Godwin Ezeemo from APGA not to bother about governing the state.
“They don’t have God’s backing.
“Instead of wasting money to campaign, they should channel their money into humanitarian activities like giving the less privileged and widows in the society.”

This particular prophesy caused tension as some who were aspirants then tackled the prophet for giving such a prophesy against their ambition.
In May, Primate Ayodele gave prophetic advise to political parties on candidates they should choose if at all they want to have a chance in the election.
For APGA, he mentioned three names that include Charles Soludo and Chukwma Umeoji.
He further went to say the party will kick against Soludo and his emergence will cause crisis within the party, we all can see what is happening in APGA now. Soludo’s candidacy brought faction and till now, they are yet to settled.
‘’ In APGA, It is between Charles Soludo, Chukwuma Umeoji, and Akachukwu Nwankpo but Soludo has an upper hand.
“He should be on alert as his emergence as the party candidate will cause crisis in the party, He shouldn’t underestimate his counterparts.
‘’Some in the party will kick against the victory of Charles Soludo in the party, If the other aspirants can form a coalition and work very hard, they can outshine Charles Soludo in the party primaries but he is the one that party stakeholders want.
For PDP, Primate Ayodele said the candidacy is between Valentine Ozigbo, Godwin Maduka, Tony Nwoye.
He advised the party to be free and fair in the primary election because of emergence of the candidates.
We all saw how PDP almost killed their chances in the election, INEC didn’t recognize any candidate until recently due to the fact that they were not free and fair enough.
‘’ ‘’In PDP, it is between, Godwin Maduka, Tony Nwoye, and Mr Valentine Ozigbo but the interest of the party is on Godwin Maduka, he must not also underestimate any of these aspirants, if he plays his way well, He can emerge as the candidate of the party.
PDP must play a free and fair primary as some factors will influence Godwin Maduka against others’’
In YPP, He mentioned Ifeanyi Uba and in APC, he mentioned about four people who can help APC have a chance in the election but warned that they should work on aggrieved parties as it may cause mass exodus in the party.
Though Andy Uba emerged in the APC but one of the aspirants, George Moghalu is currently in court to claim candidacy.
He has a very good case and may eventually be declared as the right candidate of the party.
‘’In YPP, Ifeanyi Uba will scale through as the candidate of the party. His challenger, Chief Emma Nkwocha should collapse his structure for Ifeanyi Uba because he won’t be able to make bold statements for the party.
‘’In APC, it is between George Moghalu, Ben Atiaba, Andy Uba. APC must play it cleverly so that it will not cause mass exodus on the party, they should also settle aggrieved party members.’’
After releasing these prophecies to parties, Primate Ayodele then revealed that he sees violence, killings before the main election and during the main election.
This was when no situation was on ground in Anambra but as prophet that he is, he foresaw it and the result is very visible as we speak.
‘‘I want to urge every politician in Anambra to desist from violence, shun thuggery and destruction of properties, rather embrace peace and the spirit of sportsmanship. I see violence and killings during the primaries and the main election,’’
(https://dailypost.ng/2021/05/10/anambra-2021-primate-ayodele-releases-fresh-prophecies/)
Subsequently in October, Primate Ayodele spoke about the main election and how the outcome will look like.
In his prophecy, He mentioned that the APC and APGA are bent on taking power by force through rigging in the state but YPP and PDP have a better chance in the election. He then advised them on how to win the election.
‘’PDP has what it takes, they have the resources but except their candidate, Valentine Ozigbo does the necessary things, he won’t win.
A coalition will help PDP more to get their chances. If they do what is right, they will get it.
Unless PDP wakes up, gets a coalition, and puts their house in proper order, they will not be victorious, they should manage things properly. Three days to the election, things will start changing, PDP should prepare well’’
‘’YPP candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah is not ready to take victory, victory is surrounding him but he isn’t ready for it.
They will ease him out technically, he is getting some things wrong except he does the needful.
He has what it takes but he isn’t managing it, he is playing around the victory and people are not seeing him as well prepared for the election victory. The victory is close to him but he doesn’t know how to claim it.’’
Going through these prophecies, one can be left with no doubt that the sequence shows the truly, Primate Ayodele didn’t talk based on opinion or what he has heard before, It was a result of divine encounter with God on the election.
He didn’t just speak without explaining in details what his prophecies meant.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Primate Ayodele will be churning out prophecies this way, he did same with US election, Ghana election, Edo state election, Ondo state election, to mention a few.
With this, Primate Ayodele keeps on raising the standard in the prophetic ministry.

I Delivered $15m Agency Cash To Ex-NIMASA DG Akpobolokemi, EFCC Witness Tells Court
A prosecution witness, Captain Ezekiel Bala-Agaba, testified in a Lagos Federal High Court on Thursday, that he personally delivered $15 million in cash to former NIMASA DG, Patrick Akpobolokemi.
The witness, Bala-Agaba, a former Executive Director of Maritime Safety, Shipping Development and Marine Operations at NIMASA, made the disclosure while testifying before Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Captain Agaba, who appeared as the 15th prosecution witness, told the court that funds meant for pipeline surveillance were withdrawn from NIMASA’s accounts, converted into dollars, and handed over to Dr Akpobolokemi.
According to him, the money was taken to a Bureau de Change, which converted it into $15 million before the cash was delivered to the NIMASA office on Burma Road, Apapa, Lagos.
He said he subsequently took the money to the office of the then Director-General.
“The money was sent to a Bureau de Change, which later brought the dollar equivalent to our office at Burma Road, Apapa, Lagos. I asked my Personal Assistant, Ekene Nwakuche, to carry the bag and follow me to the Director-General’s office,” he told the court.
The witness explained that he collected the bag from his aide before entering the office.
“When we got to the door of the Director-General’s office, I collected the bag from him and asked him to wait outside. I then personally delivered the sum of $15 million to the Director-General.”
The witness was initially a defendant in the case but later opted to testify for the prosecution.
While being led in evidence by prosecuting counsel, Suleiman Suleiman, he explained the chain of command within NIMASA and how financial approvals were processed in the agency.
According to him, the Director-General is the overall head of the agency and issues instructions to directors, who then implement policies in line with the NIMASA Act.
He told the court that he chaired the agency’s Intelligence Committee, which was responsible for certain security-related operations.
“As chairman of the committee, I oversaw its activities and reported directly to the Director-General, Dr. Patrick Akpobolokemi,” he said.
During the proceedings, the witness was also shown a document containing a letter from Access Bank to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detailing transactions in NIMASA’s accounts between 2013 and 2015.
When asked how much money he took to the former Director-General, Agaba replied: “$15 million.”
After listening to the testimony, Justice Faji adjourned the matter until April 22 and 23 for cross-examination of the witness.
The EFCC had in December 2015 arraigned Dr. Akpobolokemi and seven others before the court on a 30-count charge bordering on conspiracy, fraudulent conversion of funds and money laundering.
Those charged alongside the former NIMASA boss include, Warredi Enisuoh, Governor Juan, Ugo Frederick, Timi Alari, as well as Alkenzo Limited and Penniel Engineering Services Limited.
They pleaded not guilty to the offences.
The anti-graft agency alleged that the defendants conspired to divert funds running into over N1.15 billion under the guise of providing security intelligence in Nigeria’s maritime domain.
According to the EFCC, the NIMASA Intelligence Committee allegedly received N1,153,000,000 between December 2013 and July 2015.
Investigations further revealed that several companies contracted to execute the intelligence operations were either unregistered or lacked the capacity to perform the services, while some were allegedly linked to the defendants.
The prosecution also alleged that the defendants nominated or owned many of the companies used to execute the contracts.
One of the charges stated that the defendants conspired to commit offences punishable under the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2012.

CBN Bars Chronic Loan Defaulters from Accessing New Banking Services
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has issued a directive to all financial institutions to immediately restrict certain banking services for large-ticket borrowers with non-performing loans (NPLs).
This move is aimed at strengthening credit discipline and protecting the stability of the Nigerian financial system following a rise in the industry’s NPL ratio to approximately 7%, exceeding the regulatory 5% threshold.
This order is specifically targeted at large-ticket obligors.
The CBN issued the directive in a circular to banks on Monday.
The latest instruction comes almost a week after the CBN asked financial institutions to stress test.
It is uncertain if the two directives are connected or what may have triggered the loan-related instruction, but the apex bank said it furthers its mandate to protect Nigeria’s financial system.
“In furtherance of its mandate to promote a sound financial system, protect depositors, and enhance prudential compliance within the banking sector, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) hereby directs all banks to restrict non-performing large ticket obligors, whose activities pose systemic risk to the financial system, from accessing specified banking services,” the circular reads in part.
“Any large-ticket obligor with a non-performing facility recorded in the CRMS and/or any licensed private credit bureau shall not be granted additional credit facilities. For the purpose of this restriction, credit facilities include loans and other forms of direct credit.
“In addition, such obligors shall not be granted banking facilities or contingent liabilities such as bankers’ confirmations, letters of credit, performance bonds, or advance payment guarantees.”

Makinde Only In PDP Because He’s Not Seeking Re-election – Otitoju
Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, the Director of News at TVC News, recently stated that Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde would likely have defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) if he was still serving his first term.
Otitoju stated this on Friday on TVC’s ‘Breakfast Show’.
He described the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ibadan last November as a mere waste of time.
“People must show good judgment at a critical phase. What was the point of having that convention? Two courts told you not to go ahead but you went ahead.
“I may not be a fan of former Senate President Bukola Saraki but if he says something that makes sense, I will be the first to admit it. He made sense when he said let’s go for caretaker. What’s the point of not listening to him?
“Later you will be shouting that the ruling party is behind your crisis, meanwhile you are the architect of your own misfortunes. You created this problem.
“If Makinde were in his first term, he would have fled like the dancing governor because his second term would have been in danger,” Otitoju said.
