Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy On APC Victory In Ekiti Governorship Election Comes To Pass

Primate Elijah Ayodele is not an ordinary man of God in the prophetic ministry, he is one of the most revered prophets in Africa and globally due to his many fulfilled prophecies especially on the affairs of nations around the world.

In Nigeria , he is the only prophet recognized for his prophetic revelations on the political and economic situation of nations in the world. He prophesied the outcome of US presidential election, Somalia election, France election, and many others.

Ekiti governorship election held yesterday and the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Biodun Oyebanji was declared winner of the election by the independent national electoral commission (INEC).

As expected, many months before the election held, Primate Ayodele has prophesied that the candidate of the APC will win the election because other parties doesn’t not have what it takes to get Victory. He also mentioned that the PDP have missed their steps and will fail in the election.

These were his words

‘’APC will win the Ekiti state governorship election except God wishes to change it. The PDP have missed the step they are supposed to take that would guarantee victory for them. Any other party that wants to contest against APC cannot have what the ruling party has to get victory, the PDP cannot meet up no matter what they do now” (https://theeagleonline.com.ng/ekiti-2022-primate-ayodele-predicts-winner/)

In an updated prophecy, he revealed that only a coalition can unseat the APC but the other parties have not done their assignments properly

These were his words

: ‘’In Ekiti, Only a coalition can unseat APC in the state, and those who have come out to contest against the ruling party in the election have not done their assignment properly, APC will retain the state. ” (https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2022/05/24/osun-ekiti-guber-oyetola-apc-primate-ayodele-predicrs-winners-of-governorship-elections/%3famp=1)

Just as he prophesied, the PDP failed woefully in the election including SDP and with the results, if a coalition was formed, maybe it would have been a tight race for the parties in the election.

With the victory of Oyebanji as the newly elected governor of Ekiti state, Primate Ayodele’s prophecy has been Fulfilled

Olubadan Honours Ganduje With Chieftaincy Title As Governor Preaches National Integration

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun has confered honorary chieftaincy titles on Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and his wife, Prof. Hafsat Ganduje as Aare Fiwajoye of Ibadanland and Yeye Aare Fiwajoye of Ibadanland respectively.

As the Governor called on Nigerians to continuously promote national integration toward engendering a united Nigeria.

He made the call on Saturday at the ancient Mapo in Ibadan after he and his wife were honoured with chieftaincy titles by Olubadan of Ibadanland.

Two hours after their cultural title, the league of Imams and Alfas Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States also conferred Aladeen Yorubawa on Governor Ganduje at a colourful ceremony held at the palatial Palace of Onimalu, Asiwaju Mutiullai Oladejo, the Asiwaju Adinni of Ibadanland.

The ceremony was attended by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Alhaji Aminu Ado-Bayero, the Emir of Kano, and National Assembly members.

Also in attendance are Oyo state APC gubernatorial candidate Sen. Teslim Folarin, Sen. Kola Balogun as well as Chief Bayo Lawal, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

Ganduje said Nigerians needed to collectively encourage and promote national integration toward achieving national unity.

He recalled the age-long friendship between Kano and Ibadan, saying the two old cities would sustain the friendship and extend to other parts of the country.
According to him, “We are grateful to the Olubadan, Olubadan-n-Council and Ibadan people for honouring us with these prestigious titles. This gives us motivation and encouragement to do more in promoting unity.

“You made history today in terms of promoting national integration. This is a topical and very important issue we must always discuss as well as promote to achieve peaceful coexistence among Nigerians,” he said.

The governor thanked Tinubu for gracing the occasion, expressing confidence that Tinubu would promote the concept of national integration.

Tinubu, a former Lagos Governor, said that giving out such chieftaincy title to a non-indigene was a rare privilege.

He described the honour bestowed on Ganduje and his wife as well deserved, saying it was a demonstration of unity between the North and South.

The former Lagos governor appreciated the traditional ruler as well as Ibadan Indigenes for honouring his friend with a chieftaincy title.

The APC presidential aspirant urged the people to always promote national unity, saying such would engender national growth and development.

Prof. (Mrs) Elsie Adewoye, the President, of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association, described the honour bestowed on Ganduje, who is an alumnus of UI as well deserved.

“It is a deserving honour. It is no fluke or propaganda. I have been to Kano and saw all these dividends of democracy,” she said.

Earlier, Oba Balogun, said that Ganduje and his wife were detribalised Nigerians, adding the honour was well deserved.

The traditional ruler narrated how Oba Yoruba Kano, Alhaji Muritala Alimi, introduced the Gandujes to them as detribalised Nigerians.

“We were made to know how supportive our guests were to the aspiration and eventual emergence of our brother as Oba Yoruba Kano about two years ago.

“We recall how Ganduje came down to Ibadan when there was a clash between Hausa traders and the people of Sasa at Sasa Market to calm the frayed nerves and peace was restored.

He said that Ganduje was currently building an auditorium for the university, adding that the project has reached 70 per cent completion.

Balogun said that the conferment would further cement the bond of friendship that had long existed between the Ibadan and Kano people.

The traditional ruler said that it would go a long way in maintaining handshake across the Niger and engender the much sought-after unity which has turned fragile over the years.

“The Gandujes, being our in-laws in Ibadan through their daughter that got married to our son, Idris Ajimobi have done it all.

“Bestowing a befitting Chieftaincy title on the hardworking and amiable governor with his wife will be a reward for a man who has been compassionate to us as a people.

“And who believes that any Nigerian can stay and work in any part of the country without molestation or denial of basic things of life”.

Ekiti 2022: Drama As NSCDC Officers Allegedly ‘Escape’ With Vote-buying Money

A mild drama was witnessed at Ward 10, Unit 9, Ilupeju, in Ikere Ekiti on Saturday when some security operatives allegedly escaped with money collected from suspected party agents.

Residents of Ekiti State on Saturday (today) trooped out to fulfil their civic rights by voting for their preferred candidates in the 2022 gubernatorial election.

Among other chaotic events that reportedly happened during the exercise today was the alleged snatching of money meant for vote-buying by one of the participating political parties.

Reports had it that scores of angry electorates engaged security operatives to retrieve the money, and almost caused a stampede in the process.

A participant who spoke with newsmen on the incident at the polling unit said the security operatives overpowered the voters and succeeded in carting away the money.

The source according to PMNewsNigeria pleaded not to be mentioned in the print as he identified the security operatives as men of the Nigerian Security and Safety Defense Corps (NSCDC).

He said: “The money was supposed to be used to settle the voters, but the NSCDC men just went there and snatched the bag of money from them.

“Some of the people have voted and have not collected their money before they came to snatch the bag of money from us.

“Some of us challenged them and tried to collect the money back from them, but they overpowered us and ran away with the money,” the source added.

A party agent at the polling unit alleged that the Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Funminiyi Afuye was invited to resolve the issue and queried the presence of the lawmaker with his security operatives at the unit.

Afuye, however, denied knowledge of the money snatching, describing the event at the polling unit as a stampede.

“I’ve voted in my unit and I was just going round to see if there is one problem or the other, but there is no crisis, no violence. People can just stampede because they want to vote, instead of them to line up and spending less time, but they will crowd at a place, you know that is part of our culture. But, by and large, the people have been conducting themselves well,” he said.

Speaking further about the alleged snatching of money from suspected party agents, Afuye said nobody snatches money from his party people.

He said: “I am not aware of that, I wasn’t here then, and, if they are snatching money, they are not snatching from my party. There’s been no violence that has been reported to me.”

The Speaker however justified the presence of his security operatives at the polling unit. He added: “You want me to go about without my security agents? Are they harassing people? They are not. They are on their duty, just as you are on your duty as journalists.

“By my position as the chief lawmaker of the state, the moment I don’t go and tampered with whatever they are doing, I’m observing.

“The only time I went there is when they said they wanted to confirm the number of the machine, that’s all.”

When contacted about the event, the Spokesman for Ekiti NSCDC, Afolabi Tolulope, said he was not aware of such an incident, adding that he was not yet at the office to know if any NSCDC officials on patrol made a report about money at voting centres.

Kwankwaso Hints Nigerians on 2023 Collaboration talks with Peter Obi

NNPP presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, says he is in talks with his Labor Party counterpart Peter Obi over the possibility of co-operation in the 2023 elections.

He made the remarks in an interview with BBC Hausa.

He said: “We are really talking to Peter Obi, or at least saying that the committee is working to look into the matter (and cooperate with him), and friends and family are coming to talk to us about it. ”

The former governor of Kano State said their collaboration was especially important as the APC and PDP had not fielded an Igbo vice-presidential candidate.

Obi and Kwankwaso’s collaboration is widely seen as a strong ‘third force’ against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
