2023: What Will Happen If Wike Leaves, Works Against PDP – Primate Ayodele Reveals
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned Governor Nyesom Wike and other governors against leaving or working against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stressing that doing so will make them sink and lose political relevance.
Primate Ayodele therefore urged Wike and his aggrieved team to seek divine direction than relying on their physical strength and ability.
This was as he tasked the PDP, particularly its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to work hard and resolve whatever crisis exit between him, the party and Wike in order not to jeopardise his chances in the 2023 General Elections.
These were contained in a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, in which he also said that Primate Ayodele warned PDP against allowing Wike leave the party, stressing that if the PDP doesn’t settle the crisis currently facing it, the party will sink and go into oblivion after the 2023 presidential election.
In the words of Ayodele; “PDP should not allow Wike to leave because if leaves, the chances of the party in the presidential election will be jeopardized. What Wike is dragging can cause PDP so much.
“Atiku should try to adjust, and this is not about dominating. He should try and make peace work in the party. Only peace and the presence of some important people can give the party victory. Wike leaving PDP will dent the victory of Atiku because other important members of the party will leave with him and it will make the election tougher for the party.
“Atiku should consult God, technocrats and those that love him otherwise this Wike’s crisis can sink the PDP. Although, Wike will also sink if he leaves the party and will not be given recognition.
“If PDP loses the election, Wike will be embarrassed. He and other governors planning to leave should seek divine directions than physical strength,” the Primate said.
Speaking on the APC, Primate Ayodele said that the party will continue to have an internal crisis, adding that the northern group will come out with another joker that will cause ethnic disagreement towards the election.
Ayodele reinstated the danger of a Muslim-Muslim ticket for Nigeria, stressing that it will cause future problems for the country if it succeeds.
According to him; “The northern group will be divided over Tinubu because there will continue to be internal wrangling in the APC. The northerners will come out with another joker and it will cause ethnicity disagreement towards the election.
“Muslim-Muslim ticket will cause a lot for Nigeria but the people can’t see it now. The victory of the ticket will cause problems for the future of Nigeria which will be a regret to Nigerians,” he said.
As for the Labour Party, Primate Ayodele warned the party to be careful of big names that will decamp into the party, saying that some of such people don’t mean well for LP, adding that the presidential Candidate, Peter Obi can spring up surprises in the election but, has a lot to do.
He said; “Some people will decamp to Labour Party to destabilize the party. They must be careful of big names decamping to the party. Peter Obi can spring surprises in the election if APC and PDP does not wake up. The camp of Peter Obi still has a lot to do. They are only pursuing their goals ordinarily”.
Primate Ayodele also said that he foresees a different parties winning the election in Abia and Imo States if the PDP and APC doesn’t put their house together, stressing that Hon. Emeke Ihedioha in particular, will win the governorship election in Imo state if the PDP presents him.
He said; “In a free and fair election, the election in Abia state will be between YPP and Labour Party. The Labour Party candidate should strategize otherwise the YPP candidate will win the election.
“In Imo state, if PDP presents Emeka Ihedioha, he will win the election. The time of Governor Hope Uzodinma is over in Imo state,” he said.
Primate Ayodele also said that some big wigs in the APC and PDP will go into political extinction after 2023 as some sitting governor will lose their sits in 2023, adding that not all politicians that won their party primaries will witness the election.
He therefore tasked Nigerians to pray for the preservation of some important personalities in the country, saying; “Let us pray for TY Danjuma, Abdulsalami Abubakar, Ibrahim Babaginda, Alex Duduyemi, Arthur Eze and Olu Falae”.
