The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has ascribed blame to Augustine Eguavoen and other stakeholders for failing to heed to his prophecies ahead of the World Cup qualifying playoffs against Ghana.
The clergy man stated this in a press statement after the senior national team failed to qualify for her seventh appearance at the Mundial.
According to the statement; “During the release of his 2022 prophecies on Wednesday, 22nd of December, 2021, Primate Ayodele made it known that the Super Eagles won’t do well in the Africa Cup of Nations but will qualify for the 2022 World Cup if they listen to instructions.
“In an update on the prophecy few days into 2022, Primate Ayodele revealed that Ghana will defeat Nigeria if Musa (Ahmed) plays in the match. He mentioned some criteria for the Super Eagles if they want to qualify for the World Cup.
“These were his words; ‘On the World Cup qualifier Nigeria/Ghana, Nigeria have only 68 minutes to score in Ghana and let them (NFF) still use Eguavoen to do that. God has given them the mandates but if only they listen.
“Firstly, they must not take the Super Eagles job from Eguavoen, Secondly, it is not all these star players that are needed for the games. What is his name? Musa (Ahmed) must not be part of the team, If Musa plays, Nigeria will lose. I’m not against Musa but he must not play against Ghana.’’
Ayodele also said Eguaveon could have righted the wrongs but instead of listening to this instruction, he ignored it and played Musa in the second leg. Sadly, the big price he had to pay is not qualifying for Qatar 2022.
“At the time Musa was brought on into the game, Kelechi Iheanacho who could have made a difference was on the bench, but Musa and Ighalo were brought in after Primate Ayodele warned that we don’t need all the star players. Sadly, Nigeria had to pay heavily by losing out in the game.”
