Primate Elijah Ayodele, the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church leader, has cautioned the Southeast against contesting the 2023 presidential election.

Primate Ayodele warned that the presidency would elude the Southeast in 2023.

He spoke while reacting to comments that the Igbo Presidency was the solution to Nigeria’s economic and insecurity challenges.

Some groups from the Southeast advocating for Nigeria’s next president to come from the region had stressed that the Igbo presidency was the panacea to the country’s woes.

However, Primate Ayodele, in an exclusive chat with DAILY POST, pointed out that the pendulum is not swinging towards the southeast.

He said: “Who said Igbo president is the solution? It’s not a matter of ethnicity or where you are coming from; as a matter of fact, we need a very good person that God has ordained to be our president.

“Igbo presidency is not the solution to Nigerians problem, I am not a politician but am speaking as a prophet not as a pastor because so many pastors have corrupted the system and can’t tell the truth because they believe they are of government interest. However, everybody is of government interests. If the government is not doing the right, there are some prophets that God will send to the nation, to the prime ministers in the bible, telling them that he is against their ruling. So people who are saying those right words; they will not want them.

So I am telling you that the 2023 presidency will elude the Igbo, mark my words; if they are looking for the presidency maybe they will wait for another time. The pendulum is not swinging towards the Igbos.

“I will say let’s do it rotationally when it’s Igbo turn, let them do it, but the spirit of Igbo is no more in Nigeria, and since their spirit is no more in Nigeria, the country will break peacefully.”

Mr primate.... a President from the SE extraction would douse a lot of tension while creating a sense of unity, expelling marginalisation from the discuss aswell..

A president from the SE extraction would definitely not totally end insecurity, but would create a unifying force against it, that would record massive massive gains..

A president from the SE extraction would face massive hit in its first year due to alignments, practical change and political restructuring, a strong tussle between previous connected characters and merit, but in all... the best from various regions would be brought forth for the greater good of Nigeria.

What this people have failed to understand is the ordinary igbo man isn't interested in Nigeria and it politics.. Talk about the crazy politicians from the south east but stop calling an entire region who has lost interest in anything called Nigeria. Let it elude igbos don't want it nor ready to die for it.. Y'all know what igbos are ready to die for and if not given the agitation continues even if an igbo man becomes a president, e go worst for am cause he would have his immediate brothers to contend with. Keep your Nigeria, y'all just let the igbos go no be by force to marry if e Don tire person.
