The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned Nigerians that democracy will tear the country apart if care isn’t taken.
Primate Ayodele gave the warning in a statement signed and issued on Tuesday to newsmen by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.
He revealed that the democratic system of the country needs to be reviewed as soon as possible to avoid a division in the country.
He described Nigeria’s democracy as corrupt and peopled by those who are desperate and full of hatred.
He said the country’s democracy is wobbling and those in charge of power are not doing the right thing.

He further buttressed the need to redefine Nigeria’s democracy because it is killing the country silently and presidents are not in any way helping matters.
Ayodele said: “If we are not careful, democracy will tear us apart because so many things are faulty in our democracy and nobody has ever sought reforms of our democracy.
“Our constitution needs to be reviewed if we want Nigeria to survive because everyone just comes to do whatever they want, all is not well with our democracy.
“Nigeria’s democracy is corrupt, there is desperation, arrogance, hatred, and fracture in our democracy.
“Our democracy is shaking and the right people are not getting the right things in our democracy.
“It is affecting us economically, psychologically, regionally, and our judiciary.
“We need to redefine our democracy because of our future generation, it is shaking seriously if we want to be sincere to ourselves.
“Our democracy is killing us silently and our presidents are not helping.”
Continuing, Primate Ayodele stated that the rule of law is no longer respected in Nigeria and that those who fought for the country’s democracy have been forgotten because their legacies are not being preserved by the people in power.
He said: “Rule of law is no longer respected in Nigeria’s democracy any longer, it will divide Nigeria if care isn’t taken and throw the country into confusion.
“We have forgotten Abiola, Nnamdi Azikwe, Tafawa Balewa, Awolowo, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and those who fought for our democracy.
“They are all angry because democracy isn’t the way they want it, this is the bitter truth.
“The court isn’t doing the right thing, the judiciary is something else, those representing the people are doing whatever they want.
“We have a democracy that doesn’t respect religion but works with satanic agents.”
Speaking on the recent development about the book of a former Military President, retired General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Primate Ayodele blasted Nigerians praising the former military ruler, noting that terror has become heroic in Nigeria’s democracy.
He also frowned at traditional rulers who have made themselves political slaves.
He said: “Babaginda recently said MKO Abiola won the election he annulled and we are praising such. Terror has become heroic in our democracy.
“He realised billions for a project that cannot add value to Nigeria’s democracy but we are celebrating such today.
“We celebrate injustice, corruption, and division in our democracy, it’s too toxic for the unity of Nigeria.
“Even traditional rulers are not acting like state chairmen of political parties, running helter-skelter for candidates to win election.”
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele revealed that Nigeria’s unity will be determined in 2032 if care isn’t taken before then.
He added: “By 2032, we will know if we will still remain in democracy or not.
“We need to be very careful with our democracy in Nigeria, it’s getting lighter by the day.
“People who don’t love the country are in charge of our democracy, 2032 will define a lot of things about our nation.”
