‘You Are My Son, I Can’t Join Issues With You’ – Primate Ayodele Replies Femi Adesina
The Leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has given a response after the presidency criticized his prophecy about Nigeria’s breakup before 2040.
The man of God made this prophecy last week during the launch of his annual book of prophecy titled Warnings To The Nation and stated that Nigeria’s Breakup will happen without war, but with ease before 2040.
The presidency in swift reaction through Femi Adesina, the special adviser to the President on Media and Publicity described Primate Ayodele’s prophecy on Nigeria’s breakup as fake, stating that He has made several prophecies that didn’t come to pass.
During a live service today, Primate Ayodele explained that Femi Adesina is his son and can’t join issues with him because he understands that He is only defending his paymasters.
He revealed that the Prophecies Femi Adesina claim didn’t come to pass never came from him, making it known that the President’s aide should have done his investigations before laying such claims.
He noted that it’s too early to kick against his prophecy on Nigeria’s breakup before 2040, while urging him to wait till then before describing it as fake.
‘’Femi Adesina is my son, I can’t join issues with him, I understand he is only trying to defend his pay masters, I am not angry with him. I’m not bothered by his claims against my prophecies but there is a need to lecture him with facts. Femi Adesina failed journalism by not doing proper investigation before describing my prophecies as fake.’’
‘’He claimed that I said Goodluck Jonathan was going to win in 2015 , PDP will win some state which they didn’t later win, the death of Buhari which didn’t happen, and many others. Unfortunately, all Femi Adesina said were pure lies, it is on record that I prophesied the victory of President Buhari, prayed for Buhari’s return from his long medical vacation, prophesied loss of PDP in those states he mentioned, these can be found in national newspapers’’
‘’If Femi Adesina saw anything contrary to this, it simply means He didn’t do his investigations properly and paid attention to hearsays instead of going after facts. Well, He is now a big boy and can’t go through the stress of investigating properly’’
‘’He claimed all my prophecies are negative but where was he when I prophesied the death of Abubakar Shekau earlier this year?’’
‘’On my prophecy about Nigeria’s break up before 2040, Femi Adesina should wait till then before describing this prophecy as false, I didn’t prophesy out of my intelligence or knowledge but according to the spirit of God’’
‘’Femi has been in the team of pulling down men of God for so long but He is my boy, He can’t pull me down at all, this ministry is built on prayers. He has interviewed me before, we have met and I even prayed for him some years back’’
‘’Before Buhari became president, I told him personally that He would someday become President when he was in ANPP, Femi was not even there but he can verify this from the President. Femi is one of the people I have prayed for to become great in life, I don’t even see his criticism against me as an Insult, it only means the Presidency are paying attention to the warnings of God, just that they are going about it the wrong way’’
‘’Femi is not the one to say who a prophet is, I don’t want to join issues with him, He is my boy, he is just being used by his paymasters and I am not bothered about it. He should apologize to his masters and to God for lying against me’’
‘’Nobody can keep my mouth shut, I will continue saying whatever God asks me to say, he claims prophets see nothing, He should leave the prophets alone and wait if their prophecies will come to pass or not.’’
‘’I will not say what they want to hear, I will tell them what God says I should say, I am not angry with Femi, I won’t pray against him, like I said, Femi is my son, my friend and my reporter. He only wrote what he feels, not what he knows, I’m not angry with him. Prophecies can only be understood by those in the spirit, not an honorary deacon like Femi’’
‘’It’s not a new thing that a prophet gets criticized, prophets of old were hated, thrown to prison because their word of prophecy didn’t favour the leaders but we all know the end of it’’
‘’I can’t join issues with Femi Adesina, He is my son, He is only defending his pay masters but I will implore him to do proper investigation before laying further claims’’
A new video has emerged showing two men reportedly kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State, pleading for assistance to secure their release.
One of the captives, former Biu Local Government Area Chairman Hassan Biu Miringa, revealed that their abductors are demanding a $300,000 ransom.
Miringa said he and another individual were taken in December 2025 and have remained in the custody of the militants.
In the video shared by Zagazola Makama, Miringa introduced himself, saying: “I am Hassan Biu Miringa, former Chairman of Biu Local Government from 2020 to 2022. Four years after my tenure, we were kidnapped by the soldiers of Khilafa about two weeks ago. Alhamdulillah, we are still alive, but we urgently need help to save our lives.”
He added that negotiations with the kidnappers had been underway, with some preliminary agreements reportedly reached.
“We have engaged them on four separate occasions and reached an understanding. We appeal to our leaders, especially Borno State Deputy Governor Alhaji Usman Umar Kadafur, the National Assembly representative for Biu, Kwaya, and Shani Hon. Betera Aliyu, as well as our community leaders, to temper justice with mercy and assist us. We are their children and have been working together,” Miringa said.
He confirmed the ransom demand, explaining that each captive is expected to pay $150,000, totaling $300,000 for their freedom, and pleaded for urgent intervention to reunite with their families.
The video highlights ongoing concerns over kidnappings and insecurity in southern Borno State, which have persisted despite government efforts to curb insurgent activity in the region.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday visited Port Harcourt City Local Government as part of his “thank you” visit across Rivers State.
Upon his arrival, a group of women displayed a symbolic gesture of loyalty by spreading their wrappers on the ground for his motorcade.
The women and supporters of the Minister were in a jubilant mode as Wike drove on the wrappers.
Wike has been going around local governments in the state to appreciate them for their support while reeling out moves ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In the course of his visits, the Minister had fired several salvos at political actors in the state, warning that their sudden support for President Bola Tinubu won’t secure them any ticket in 2027.
Wike also renewed rivalry with Governor Sim Fubara over the leadership control of the political space in the state.
The Rivers State House of Assembly has officially reaffirmed that the impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, are ongoing and have not been suspended.
The Assembly said the process is still ongoing and is being conducted strictly in line with constitutional provisions.
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Petitions and Complaints, Hon. Enemi George.
According to the statement, the impeachment process, which began on Thursday, January 8, 2026, remains on course in line with the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
The lawmakers disclosed that separate notices of allegations bordering on gross misconduct have been served on both the governor and his deputy in line with Section 188 of the Constitution.
“The notices of allegations of gross misconduct against the Governor and the Deputy Governor have been duly forwarded to them by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule, and the House is awaiting their responses,” the statement said.
The Assembly maintained that it is constitutionally obligated to act in the interest of the rule of law and ensure that no public office holder acts outside legal boundaries.
Reacting to reports suggesting that the impeachment move had been halted, the House accused some individuals and media outlets of deliberately spreading misinformation to mislead the public and stir tension between the legislature and Rivers residents.
The lawmakers described such reports as false and insisted they would not succumb to intimidation, threats, or blackmail.
“We are aware of renewed attempts by certain persons and media platforms to misinform the public by claiming that the impeachment process has been discontinued. The public should disregard such falsehoods, as the process remains active,” the statement added.
The Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles and constitutional responsibilities, stressing that it would not be distracted by what it termed “cheap propaganda.”
It also appreciated the people of Rivers State for their support and prayers amid the ongoing political developments and extended goodwill to Nigerians committed to the nation’s democratic journey.
JomogNews reports that during Thursday’s plenary session, presided over by the Speaker, the Majority Leader, Major Jack, formally read the notice of allegations of gross misconduct against Governor Fubara on the floor of the House.
