Primate Ayodele to Igbos: You must produce Nigeria’s next president or…
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, says the Igbo nation must do everything humanly possible to ensure the next president of Nigeria comes from their zone.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Sunday morning, Primate Ayodele advocated for an Igbo presidency ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He said Nigeria must throw their weight behind presidential aspirants of Igbo extraction and allow the south east zone produce next president of the country in the interest of fairness and equity and for the sake of peace.
He said if Igbo leaders allow the presidency to elude them now, “they will not see it till the kingdom comes.” and their great grand children will curse them for spurning such opportunity.
The man of God warned them against betraying each other while calling on the South and North to step down for the Igbos in both political parties.
“Sincerely, without mincing words, the next president should come from Igbo; it’s just unfortunate that they are not that serious with their intentions because there is a political force struggling with it which they need to claim otherwise if it eludes them now, Igbo will never see presidency till kingdom comes.
“Igbo must wake up now; otherwise, they will betray themselves from producing the next president of Nigeria. The South and North should step down for Igbo, let them be used as consensus candidates. This can happen if the Igbo know what they want but do they really know what they want? Are they ready for it? I don’t think so.
“Either they will perform or not, without any misconception, it is Igbo’s turn, but if they fail it, their present leaders will be cursed by their great-grandchildren.”
Primate Ayodele warned Igbo politicians not to allow cabals to choose Nigeria’s next president by forging alliance across party line so they can produce a presidential candidate.
“Don’t allow the cabals to choose for Nigeria; let them resist the cabal; Igbo should be the next president. It has gone round, their clamour must be taken seriously, and they must unite now to produce the next president; otherwise, their great-grandchildren will curse them.
“If Nigeria wants peace, that’s how it’s supposed to be. Igbo deserve to produce the next president of Nigeria, but who is ready among them? If we want Nigeria to move forward, let us arrange it properly, they deserve the presidency.”
