Primate Ayodele had before now issued several warnings to the political parties in Edo State, particularly the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and their respective candidates.
However, Primate Ayodele in his recent warning, said; “People are supporting Obaseki but those people might not be allowed to vote, he needs to be rugged else he will be eased out, if he takes any simplicity method, He will lose out.”
“There will be manipulations in the election, if he isn’t careful, his victory will be given to someone else, even if he appeal the case, he won’t be given, he must not allow manipulations in the election, if he loses, he will be forever irrelevant in politics.”
“They have already prepared the manipulation process to ease him out, he shouldn’t be carried away by the crowd he sees at the moment, he needs to work against the manipulation technically and pack his arsenal together to battle against APC and Ize Iyamu.”
“They will want to steal ballot boxes, they want to disenfranchise people, he must have committed people in polling units, he shouldn’t accept anything inconclusive, if he allows Ize-Iyamu to win, he is gone politically and jail is waiting for him, he should ensure he wins, because if he thinks the court will later rule in his favour after the election, It won’t work, it’s better he wins right from the election than taking Ize-Iyamu to court.”
“The election will be violent, thugs will be used, different methods will be used, the election will not be peaceful as expected, Obaseki should work against Manipulation, that is the only thing that will give him victory.”
“If he wins, he will become a hero and send away godfatherism in Nigeria. He needs to listen to advice, either the one he feels is useful or not, Ize-Iyamu cannot win Edo election, except through serious manipulation’’
It is worthy of note that Primate Ayodele’s many prophecies and warnings have come to pass. In Edo, Ayodele predicted the easing out of Governor Obaseki from the APC primaries and the removal of Adams Oshiomhole as the APC National Chairman. He also prophesied the fall out between Governor Obaseki and Adams Oshiomhole.
