Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele is the founder and spiritual head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church. In this interview with select journalists, he released prophecies for 2016. IGHO OYOYO was there for LEADERSHIP

As 2015 comes to an end, what do you foresee in 2016?


I see Saudi Arabia being attacked by terrorists. I see that Ebola is still very much around Africa. Coca Cola will rebrand and must pray against fire outbreak. Political enemies will disorganise the Bayelsa State governor so that his second term bid can crumble. But if Governor Dickson seeks the face of God and work very hard, he will win a second term. But if he relaxes, the APC candidate will shock him. Let us pray against attacks on our pipelines.

 

But you reportedly said during the last general elections that the PDP will not win some core northern states?


I do not understand what you are talking about. But what God made me to see on that issue, I shared it on page 10 of Saturday Independent of January 3, 2015; I said ‘God told me that the APC will win in Sokoto State, that the PDP will find it difficult to retain Kaduna, Kano and Katsina.’ All these are stories now, This is how to know a true prophet of God and sometimes God can change His mind on certain things. God is unquestionable because He shares His plans with His prophets alone and that is why the prophets of the nation should be on their toes to warn on impending dooms. Prophecy is not to create panic.

 

Do you see the administration of President Buhari succeeding in its war against corruption?


President Muhammadu Buhari is very sincere about his war against corruption. But I see him shooting himself in the leg, because he is going to take on some powerful people in this war and they are going to fight back big time. I do not belong to any party, I am not a politician and I do not know any of them personally. This is what God has sent me to deliver and I am delivering them as He sent me. Besides this, God told me that Buhari and Tinubu will fight seriously. I see their fight breaking up APC and a new mega party will emerge from the remnants of APC and PDP. I also see Buhari’s CPC party coming back with a bang if care is not taken, because some people will want to lift up the party and I see a northern agenda playing out in two years’ time. I see the seat of the current governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Emefele, shaking and I see some top staff of CBN being removed. I see South-west and South-east experiencing bomb scare. We have defeated Boko Haram, but we should work more against non-Boko Haram terrorists like ISIS and others. Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, must not dump his party, APGA, otherwise his political future will run into trouble and also may not retain his second term. The security issue is going to cause a lot of indictment and even the present security situation in this country, because, there are lots of factors that will not want Buhari’s December deadline to be achieved.

 

So, you see that the December deadline will not be achieved?

If Buhari is putting pressure on the military and take up the challenges they will succeed. The only way our soldiers can fight and succeed is through the air. It is the Air Force that will fight and win, not our land troops. The Boko Haram has enough weapons to fight the army. It is better to fight the sect through the air strike, which will cost the Boko Haram a lot of causalities. I do not see Nigeria fighting Boko Haram again; we are fighting a group deadlier than Boko Haram. I foresee religious crisis and ethnic crisis; we have to be very careful. I see another confab still coming. From the spiritual realm, Nigeria is tired of going as one nation. It is either we change the modalities, whereby we will have regional governments or we have a separate nation. This is what God has shown me. Anybody might condemn this prophecy, or say anything about it. The truth will be revealed much later. I see more groups agitating for Nigeria’s dismemberment. I see protests here and there. I see that there will be changes in the army, air force, navy and even in the National Intelligence Service, because there will be a report they will not want to be made public. The report is going to cause a lot of rancour among the security agents. So, we have to be watchful. At the same time, DSS will be sued, army will be sued and the police will be sued. I see more people being exposed for corruption that will shock Nigerians. Edo State governor Oshiomhole must hand over power to someone within his cabinet; otherwise APC will not retain that state after Oshiomhole’s second term. In Ondo State, I see three names in PDP that if the party works hard, one of them will win the state. I see Lawal, Jegede and Bamidele. In APC, I see two names, Akeredolu and Borrofice but I see that Borrofice will brighten the party’s chances of winning the state after Mimiko’s tenure. I foresee fresh crisis between Nigeria and some neighbouring countries. There will be issues that will come up that will not be favourable to these countries. So, the issue of a joint force with other country will cause a lot of problems. So, the issue of security will still need a lot of prayers. Churches have to go into prayers because I see serious crisis in the land. I see crisis in the petroleum sector whether the government removes subsidy or not. Some customs officers will face queries and some will lose their offices.   I also see crisis in the Immigration. I see new seaports in Nigeria.

Let us pray. Let us pray we do not lose any emir. Emir of Kano, Emir of Niger should be prayerful over their healths. I see people who are close to President Buhari ganging up against him and misleading him. Let us pray we do not lose a one-time governor and minister. Let us pray against fighter jet crash. Let us also pray against an Air Force plane crash and local aircraft land crash as well. I see changes in NAFDAC. I foresee changes in NDLEA leadership. In the aspect of health, we must pray against unexpected diseases, outbreak of diseases and Cholera. Journalists must pray so that we do not lose any seasoned journalist through accidents and attack and let us pray that any media house does not go up in flames. I see the Police Pension Commission being probed. There will be an attack on Israel. France must be careful of terrorist attack. I see crisis in Catholic Church and Methodist churches. Chief Olu Falae and Pa Lanihun Ajayi should pray over their health. I see lots of changes in CBN. CBN governor, CBN deputy governor and other top officials should pray, as I see their seats being threatened. Let us pray we do not lose any senior officer in CBN.

Then some banks like Zenith Bank, GTB, Fidelity Bank, First Bank, they should be careful not to be indicted and also fined. They must be very careful and hey must pray against robbery and law suits. Let us pray that no bank goes up in flames. Likewise, I see some insurance companies facing challenges. Nigerian club side can win a champion league if those people who are going to represent Nigeria seek the face of God. Let them pray so that they will not lose at the quarter or semi final. They can win a cup for Nigeria if they are serious. I see government clamping down on bureau de change change and changing the policies on bureau de change. Electricity will not be stable until 2018 . That is what the Lord has shown me. AU will face challenges over funds and security. I see changes in ECOWAS. I see bomb scare at UN offices around the world. There will be protest and bomb scare in Kenya. I see problems in Angola and Cote D’Ivoire. I see tension in Ekiti, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Ondo, Lagos, Kwara, Ogun, Osun, Imo, Kano, Niger and Adamawa states. These states must pray very well. I see reforms and retrenchment in the civil service.

Let us pray against suicide bombers in the south-west and eastern part of the nation. I do not see the success of the Treasury Single Account. I see it causing corruption. Government must be careful over it. I see some former Nigerian leaders facing health challenges. Iyorchia Ayu should pray over his health. Ebitimi Banigo, should also pray against health challenges. Let us pray against Fulani and Hausa crisis in Benue. I see cattle rearers fighting. Let us pray against farmers killing in the norther part of the country. Let us pray against fight between Fulani and Kanuri . Chief Alex Duduyemi and Chief Sunny Odogwu should pray over their health. I see pirates’ problems in riverine areas. Benue farmers should be watchful of fight. I see death of popular Islamic scholar and a top pastor. Let us pray against losing a Nigerian footballer on the field. I see the federal government’s website being hacked. I see mass sack at NNPC. Let us pray against water borne diseases. Coca Cola will experience fire outbreak at its plant. I see landslide in China, Indonesia and Japan. I see an attack on Turkey. We should pray not to lose a judge and a lawyer who is a SAN. Buhari ‘s fight against corruption will get to a stage where he will not be able to fight it as expected. Buhari must not trust America.
