Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, made predictions on Tuesday, suggesting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will lose a sitting governor in the South-South to the Labour Party.
In a statement by his spokesman, Oluwatosin Osho, the prophet highlighted the ongoing leadership crises within the PDP, warning of potential defections due to discontent. He stated, “A sitting governor in PDP will decamp, a prominent governor in South-South will decamp to the Labour party. The current management will put PDP in a big problem, If PDP isn’t careful, the party will become a forgotten factor in the country.”
While acknowledging that the current leadership might exacerbate the party’s issues, Ayodele foresaw a powerful figure taking over the reins, stating, “The management will compress the PDP, they will put the party into more crisis but I see a powerful person coming to take over the party.”
Additionally, Ayodele predicted the emergence of a third force, indicating it would be a coalition formed by disenchanted members of both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and PDP. He emphasized that this coalition would wield significant influence, cautioning, “However, I still see a third force that will be formed by aggrieved members of APC and PDP, it will be a strong one; both parties should prepare.”
