Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has claimed that Governor Ademola Adeleke has been divinely chosen to secure a second term in office.
However, Ayodele warned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) could challenge Adeleke’s victory after the election.
According to the cleric, the APC’s strategy may not be centred solely on winning at the polls but could focus on developments that occur after the election.
Ayodele therefore urged Adeleke to remain vigilant and strengthen his intelligence-gathering efforts ahead of and after the election.
He advised the governor not to take anything for granted and to stay alert throughout the electoral process.
“In the Osun election, God has already anointed Ademola Adeleke to secure a second term in office.
“He will win the election, but the APC are working towards the aftermath of the win. They will attempt to steal victory from Adeleke if he isn’t careful enough.
“The governor must follow them closely and ensure he has eyes on the ground because they have already concluded their plans to go beyond the election polls to get victory by all means. Adeleke must stay with his win till the very end,” Ayodele said.
BACKSTORY:
The Osun State governorship election has continued to attract attention as political parties intensify their campaigns and preparations ahead of the poll.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is seeking another term in office, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) is working to regain control of the state.
Amid the political contest, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has offered his prediction on the outcome of the election.
Ayodele claimed that God had anointed Adeleke to secure a second term but warned that the governor should not become complacent.
The cleric also predicted that the APC could challenge the outcome of the election, suggesting that its strategy may extend beyond the actual voting process.
He consequently urged Adeleke to remain vigilant, strengthen his intelligence network and pay close attention to developments surrounding the election.
The prediction comes as political parties and their candidates continue to seek the support of Osun voters ahead of the governorship poll.
