Primate Ayodele Denies Prophesying Makinde as Nigeria’s President in 2027

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has officially refuted claims that he prophesied Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde will become Nigeria’s president in 2027. The renowned cleric addressed the circulating rumors during a recent press conference, emphasizing that he never made such a prediction.

Setting the Record Straight

Primate Ayodele is widely recognized for his prophetic declarations on national and international affairs. However, he clarified that any reports linking him to a prophecy about Governor Makinde ascending to the presidency are unfounded. “I have great respect for Governor Makinde and acknowledge his contributions to Oyo State, but I never prophesied that he would become the president of Nigeria in 2027,” he stated.

Origin of the Misinformation

The false information began spreading through various media outlets and social media platforms, causing confusion among the public. Primate Ayodele expressed concern over how quickly unverified news can gain traction, urging individuals to seek accurate information from reliable sources.

A Call for Responsible Journalism

Highlighting the importance of factual reporting, Primate Ayodele called on journalists and media houses to verify their information before publication. “Misinformation can lead to unnecessary tension and misunderstandings. It’s crucial for the media to uphold the integrity of their profession by ensuring accuracy,” he urged.

Focus on National Unity

While dispelling the rumors, Primate Ayodele also took the opportunity to encourage Nigerians to concentrate on unity and progress. He emphasized the need for collective efforts in addressing the nation’s challenges, rather than being sidetracked by baseless speculations.

The clarification from Primate Ayodele aims to put an end to the misleading reports about his supposed prophecy. As the nation looks ahead to the future, it’s imperative for both the media and the public to engage responsibly, ensuring that information disseminated contributes positively to national discourse.
