Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a stern warning to Ekiti State Governor Abiodun Oyebanji. Ayodele cautioned the governor against misappropriating the rice trucks allocated by the federal government to combat hunger across Nigeria. He urged Oyebanji to ensure that the relief supplies reach the intended beneficiaries, emphasizing the importance of integrity and accountability in the distribution process.
At the grand finale of his charitable activities in Ikere-Ekiti on Wednesday, Primate Ayodele delivered a significant warning. The event, marking the establishment of a new church earlier this year, was graced by prominent figures, including Oba Samuel Adu Adejimi Alagbado, the Ogoga of Ikere-Ekiti, along with his chiefs. Also in attendance were Olu Adamolekun Egbejoda, the chairman of Ikere-Ekiti LGA, the Iyaloja-General of Ikere-Ekiti, and numerous other distinguished guests.
The prophet warned Oyebanji of divine retribution should he fail to distribute 20 trucks of rice meant for the people. The prophet stressed that the rice should be sold at very low prices in rural markets to ensure it benefits the many indigenes of Ekiti State.
In a stern warning, a prominent cleric advised lawmakers and local government officials in Ekiti State to avoid exploiting innocent citizens if they wish to avoid future hardships. Addressing members of the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, and local government chairmen, he cautioned against benefiting from the hard work of the populace, implying that doing so would lead to bitter consequences in their own lives.
“If Governor Oyebanji has received the rice, he should take it to rural markets and sell it at a low price. If he consumes the people’s sweat, God will question him, and he will face God’s wrath. The House of Assembly members don’t know what they are doing. Roads are bad, and there is no development in rural areas despite having representatives. If they eat the sweat of the people, their lives will become bitter.”
Primate Ayodele also stated that Governor Oyebanji will have a second term in office but noted that the next governor of the state should come from Ikere-Ekiti. He warned the governor not to play politics with Ikere-Ekiti to avoid the wrath of God.
“An Ikere-Ekiti indigene will be the next governor of Ekiti State. He will bring comfort to Ekiti as a whole. Governor Oyebanji should not play politics with Ikere; if he does, he will face the wrath of God. No one should compete with him for a second term; Ikere is next. If not, he will face God’s wrath.”
During the three-day charity program, Primate Ayodele, who has conducted about six palliative market initiatives where food commodity prices were drastically reduced, engaged in further philanthropic activities. These included empowering women with sewing machines, grinding machines, hair dryers, financial support for students, business support, and a brand new tricycle, among other things.
A half bag of rice was sold for N15,000, 5 liters of vegetable oil for N2,000, 6 kg of rice for N3,000, a bag of wheat for N1,000, semolina for N2,000, a carton of noodles for N3,000, and several other items.
In response to the Prophet’s benevolence, the LG chairman of Ikere-Ekiti, Olu Adamolekun, expressed his appreciation to Primate Ayodele for his love toward the people of Ikere-Ekiti. He assured that he would do his best to ensure that the current government in Ekiti listens to the needs of the people of Ikere-Ekiti. He shared how Primate Ayodele’s church has become his place of prayer while encouraging the people of Ikere-Ekiti to support the prophet’s church by attending services, as the hand of God is evident in the ministry.
“The God of Elijah is wonderful. We are home, and I am not being political. We will do something for this community very soon, and as chairman, we will work on the roads in this area. We have known about this church for a long time. I attend RCCG but go to Lagos to pray at Primate Ayodele’s church because God answers prayers there. Indeed, the God of Elijah is good. This is where we come to pray secretly. All of my staffers are here, and we have iyalojas here too. Each time he shares his New Year prophecy, the nation shakes because God has been using him. Let us come to salvation; I know the amount of help he has rendered.”
