The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Friday urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the political crisis currently ravaging Rivers State to avoid possible bloodbath.
Primate Ayodele warned that the crisis may lead to political assassinations and bloodbath if it is not well handled.
In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, to sheath his sword as a matured politician because fighting his successor, Governor Sim Fubara, is totally wrong.
He said Fubara is God’s project and cannot be removed from his seat because God is fighting for him.
According to Ayodele: ‘’President Tinubu should intervene in the Rivers’ politics so that it won’t lead to political assassination and bloodbath. The president should do the right thing without being partial because any insurrection in the state will have a huge impact on Nigeria as a country.
‘’Wike is old enough to calm down, he is doing the wrong thing fighting Fubara because he can’t win. Fubara is God’s project and cannot be removed by anyone because his maker is fighting for him.’’
He described the crisis as an unnecessary comedy that will take a new turn soon if not managed.
The prophet called on both parties to sheath their swords to avoid a situation they will not be able to control.
Furthermore, he asked Fubara to stop replying to Wike but focus on governance and delivering the dividend of democracy to the people of Rivers State.
Primate Ayodele also warned the governor to be careful of people surrounding him currently because they will be used against him.
”Fubara shouldn’t reply to Wike, He has overcome him already. He should focus more on governance and watch his back because those that are aligning with him will still be used against him,’’ he added.
