From KEHINDE ADEWOLE, Ado-Ekiti
Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, General Overseer of the Inri Evangelical Spiritual church with headquarters in Oke-Afa, Lagos who in December last year predicted drama and death in Aso Rock Villa, has cautioned the Federal Government to relax the ongoing lockdown over the coronavirus pandemic and impose a curfew instead to prevent an imminent revolt from the hungry and angry masses.
Primate Ayodele who in an interview published on The Nigerian Xpress website, www.thexpressng.com on January 2, predicted the COVID- 19 pandemic and drama and death in Aso Rock this year, had also warned further that several prominent people, including those who diverted the nation’s wealth for personal use, would die of the disease.
On page 47, of his yearly book of prophecies, Warnings to the Nations, 2018/2019 edition, the cleric had warned: “The spirit of God says that we should pray to rebuke all forms of tension in the Aso Rock Villa, and let the President pray not to lose any of his aides.”
The Nigerian Xpress gathered that the cleric had since, the break out of the pandemic relocated to the mountain for prayers and seeking God’s face.
In the interview published in January, Primate Ayodele had urged that prayers be offered to avert the death of a president’s aide and drama in Aso Rock.
Primate Ayodele had also predicted that America and United Nations would have serious issues, which would lead to depletion of funds available to the organisation. The prediction was contained in the prophet’s book, Warnings to the nations, 2018/19 edition.
Primate Ayodele had since 2017 warned about the hardships Nigerians are facing. On page 2 of same book, 2018/19 edition, he had said about year 2020: “l forsee hunger and anger during Buhari’s second term.”
Asked to speak on Saturday in the light of the latest developments, the cleric warned: “Our economy will be terribly battered and Nigerians will suffer seriously. This COVID-19 will not go either today or tomorrow. If care is not taken it may extend till next year. More prominent people will still die of the virus, but God may still avert this imminent calamities if our government urgently takes certain steps: One is to relax the ongoing lockdown to 6pm to 7am. Two is to allow our churches to hold services, praise and pray to God but under the strict adherence to measures out in place by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
“Three, our rich men should stop donating monies directly into the coffers of government. They should give directly to the people, although such excerise should be supervised by government agencies. Giving donations to government directly will lead to a situation where such monies will be in the hands of a few individuals who will divert them for their personal use.
”Monies being donated by Nigerian philanthropists and other organisations should be used for sustaining Nigerians in the face of the raging pandemic and the imminent economic depression. Government should also provide massive employment through huge investment in agriculture. They should hugely encourage local production and discourage importation. The government must urgently and sincerely equip our hospitals with state of the art health facilities and more importantly, government must allow churches to gather in few numbers and pray. The nation needs urgent spiritual cleansing. These, the Lord has revealed to me but I will still ask for more direction in this regard. I tell you, some state governments may shut down after this pandemic. Only God knows when the pandemic will end. There are more calamities coming, but they can be averted if world leaders will humble themselves and fast for three days, seeking the face of the Lord and The Lord of hosts will put a final stop to all these diseases.
”I tell you, shocking secrets hidden in government will soon be blown up during this pandemic. There will also be heavy flooding again this year and it may be accompanied by several diseases. We must pray against this. The deadly virus from China has not ended. But there is nothing prayer cannot surmount,” he said.
On the ongoing lockdown, Primate Ayodele warned the government not to extend it beyond April 27, saying: “There is already too much anger in the land, and so, the government should not allow the lockdown beyond April 27. If the government fails to do this, the people will revolt. There will be protests and defiance by the people so we urge the government to be very conscious of this,” he said.
The cleric said he had prepared 10,000 bottles of anointed oil and water to be distributed free to Nigerians free to give the spiritual immunity against the Coronavirus.
Primate Ayodele also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to pay special attention to his health.
Primate Ayodele had also predicted that the U.S Democrats would elect Joe Biden as their presidential candidate but said he would soon reveal the winner of the US poll scheduled for November after seeking the face of God.
The cleric said he had over 10,000 fulfilled prophecies being compiled to be published in a book within the next two months. The next edition of annual book of prophecies, 2020/21 will also be published soon, he added.
