It is no longer news that on 25th March 2022, Nigerians particularly Deltans were abuzz with prophecy from Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church over the choice of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa’s successor come 2023.
For emphasis sake, Ayodele said: ‘’Governor Ifeanyi Okowa needs to seek the face of God in choosing his successor because I see him being led into EFCC net if he makes a mistake”.
Over 40 prophecies of Primate Ayodele, have been fulfilled and that is why in Nigeria, his is one of the renowned prophets whose new year prophecies enjoy massive anticipation and readership.
Among his prophecies for 2021, which were released in December 2020, about 40 fulfilled prophecies have been collated out of them, though they are more than that. but the selected ones are the most distinct fulfilled prophecies. And this one on Delta governorship might not be different.
BRIDGE COLLAPSE
About some months ago, there was a case of bridge collapse in Delta State. It involved a major bridge that had been there for sometime but suddenly collapsed. In Primate Ayodele’s 2021 prophecies, it was clearly written that there will be cases of bridge collapse in the country, “There will be cases of collapsed bridges in Nigeria. The 4th Mainland Bridge and 2nd Niger Bridge will come into actualization.”
PROTEST AGAINST BUHARI
One would agree that 2021 has witnessed several protest from different groups against President Muhammadu Buhari. Just recently, some northern youths staged a protest against the president, asking him to resign. We now see lawmakers who are from the ruling party speaking against the president in the house due to security and economic challenges.
These were well spelt out in Primate Ayodele’s 2021 prophecies. He prophesied: “The people will protest against Buhari and call him different names. Buhari will disappoint many people as he will not be able to steer the ship of his government appropriately. The Buhari Government will witness a lot of setbacks in terms of security, economy and unfulfilled promises. These will cause divisions in the ruling party. Buhari will disappoint a lot of his followers”.
TWITTER BAN
One of the highlights of 2021 is the ban of microblogging platform, Twitter by the federal government. Primate Ayodele stated in his new year prophecy that he foresees the government fighting the usage of social media. “The Nigeria government will want to ban social media activities which people will be going aggressively against. The plans of the government will not work. Government wants to make social media difficult; this will fail the government because people will resist it.”
ZONING
Zoning ahead of 2023 has caused a lot of issues between political parties in the year. This was also stated in Primate Ayodele’s prophecy for the year. He said political parties will not respect the gentleman agreement towards Zoning of presidency and this is exactly what has been happening. “Both parties the APC and the PDP will not respect the gentleman agreement in their zoning of the office of the President.
There will be hidden agenda that will work against zoning of offices. The zoning will not be realistic and apart from this, there will be so many arguments against this zoning and that is how the presidency will elude the Igbos in 2023. Those that are aspiring for the presidency among the Igbos will fall midway.
Meanwhile a strong group will come up to be speaking loudly for Igbo presidency. They will want to bring the best candidates out of the candidates of each party.”
POLITICAL TENSION
Some states in the country were faced with political tension that led to the death of important personalities. This was also part of Primate Ayodele’s prophecies for the year. He mentioned the states that will be faced with the crisis and as he said it, it came to pass. “These are the states in Nigeria that will have political tension: Imo, Abia, Enugu, Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Ekiti, Oyo and Anambra.”
IMPEACHMENT OF SPEAKERS
In 2021, the speakers of Imo and plateau state house of assembly were impeached while the deputy speaker of Imo state was also impeached. This fulfilled Primate Ayodele’s prophecy that categorically stated that he foresees the impeachment of two speakers. “I foresee that two Speakers will be removed and also a Deputy Speaker will be impeached.”
AGF CRISIS
In the course of the year, the attorney general of the federation, Abubakar Malami was faced with several indictments. This was contained in Primate Ayodele’s prophecy for the year. “The Attorney General will be making all sorts of effort, yet the office will be indicted and they will take wrong steps on some legal issues.”
ANAMBRA ELECTION
Arguably one of the most serious issue that came up in 2021. Primate Ayodele had reveal the outcome of the election since December 2020 and we all saw how it happened.
“THE UPCOMING ELECTION 2021/2022. The Anambra Election in 2021 will be very tough; there will be a lot of electioneering tension that will come up. The major contestants will be from PDP and APGA. There will be internal wranglings that will rock APGA. They will want to confuse the Governor, if the Governor does not produce a good candidate and settle the factions in the Party.”
ELECTORAL AMENDMENT
At the moment, there is rancour between the presidency and the lawmakers over the amendment of Nigeria’s electoral process. The lawmaker had sent an amended electoral bill to the presidency that makes provision for direct primary for all political parties. This fulfils Primate Ayodele’s prophecies of 2021 as he categorically stated that he foresees an amendment. “It may not be in 2021 but there will be Electoral Amendments and Constitutional Reforms.”
EDO GOVERNOR, OBASEKI
Governor Obaseki will face challenges even as there will be problems between Obeseki and PDP. Obaseki will disappoint the PDP. The Deputy Governor and Governor needs prayers because of unnecessary misunderstanding that will cause leakage in Obaseki’s government. The Governor and the deputy needs prayers for understanding.
PDP GOVERNORS CRISIS
It is not even news that governors of the opposition party had crisis between themselves. The governors of Benue and Bauchi state recently engaged in war of words over Fulani herdsmen crisis. This fulfils Primate Ayodele’s prophecy. “PDP Governors will fail to understand so many things due to rancour among them and this will affect the fortunes of the Party.”
FIRE OUTBREAK IN MARKETS
From the beginning of the year till this month, we have been seeing fire outbreak in our markets. This was very rampant this year just as Primate Ayodele foretold it.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Primate Ayodele till today is still being celebrated for foretelling the emergence of COVID-19 in the world. In his 2021 prophecies, he made it known that the virus will subside in August but will start spreading against later in the year. As he said it, some countries eased restrictions from August but in this month, another variant was discovered and new restrictions had to be put in place.
CORONA VIRUS
In 2021, I foresee that Corona Virus is still going to affect so many people in Africa and the European nations despite the Vaccine. The Vaccine will work effectively and there will be more Vaccines that will curb the infection. Corona virus will spread more at the latter part of the year but it will start subsiding from the month of August.”
According to the prophecy, “Sheriff Oborevwori, David Edevbie will not make Delta state better, If either of them become governor, they will betray the governor’.
‘’The governor and James Ibori must reach an agreement before they produce a bad product for the state. The chances of James Manager becoming the next governor of Delta is very slim’’.
Primate Ayodele had advised Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to be careful before picking a successor in order to avoid betrayal.
No doubt, the political space in Delta State, have been awashed with arguments on who takes power from Okowa. This has left unsettled dust across the three senatorial districts of the state in the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), from various camps, loyalists and supporters of aspirants.
TESTIMONY OF ENGR. EDIRI R. IDIMI (UBIOMOR) ON GBAGI
Ahead of the governorship election in Delta State, a governorship hopeful, Engr. Ediri. R. Idimi popularly known as UBIOMOR, who stepped down from the contest for Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, leading governorship aspirant in the state come 2023, Gbagi is the best for the job.
“The campaign of Engr. Ediri R. IDIMI (UBIOMOR) has been based on industrial development of Delta State. The choice of Hon Kenneth Gbagi is informed by the fact that among the aspirants for the Delta State Governorship Race, his profile stands out as someone with the right qualifications, extensive private sector and government experiences as an ex-minister of education.
“Most importantly, Hon Kenneth Gbagi is an investor and industrialist with investments scattered around Delta State, Nigeria and overseas. He is someone with no criminal records.
“His contacts and networks within and outside Nigeria, can be leverage on to attract investments and projects to Delta State, when he becomes Governor. Without a doubt, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has the capacity to lead the Delta State Government on Industrial Development come 2023, if elected into office.
“Hon. Kenneth Gbagi and Engr. Ediri R. IDIMI (UBIOMOR) share same ideas with respect to Industrial development of Delta. Thus, the need for both parties to come together with a goal to set up the Government of Delta State Industrial Development come 2023, if elected by the good people of Delta State. The first principle of the Delta State Government of Industrial Development is to design Delta Industrial Development Master Plan (DIDMP).
“The overall goal of the Delta State Government of Industrial Development is to create the right policies, environment and develop the infrastructure needed to attract trade and investment to Delta State and thereby creating job opportunities for the youths of Delta State, improving the quality education, standard healthcare system, improved security, beautiful and clean environment, peace and secured communities, creative art and sport development.
“Our target is to make Delta State not only a center of attraction for oil and gas investments but also the center of manufacturing in Africa.
“With this decision, Ubiomor Campaign Organization has jettisoned the plan to obtain the PDP Governorship expression of interest and application form. We hereby wish to appeal to all the supporters of Engr. Ediri R. IDIMI to give their full supports to Hon. Kenneth Gbagi for Delta State Governorship Position.
“We also want to urge those contesting under the platform of PDP to consider stepping down for Hon. Kenneth Gbagi so that a consensus that would results into a stronger and united party front can be built.
“Whe Gbagi Government of Delta Industrial Development (GGDID) is coming to make Delta State Great. Your supports are needed as it is together, we can make Delta State great”, he said.
