Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s support for a southern presidency in 2023, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has advised the president to support vice president, Yemi Osinbajo or former minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi to become APC presidential flagbearer in the coming primary election of the ruling party.
In a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that a southern presidency is best for the stability and unity of Nigeria. He made it known that the country is in a lot of crisis already and the only thing that can help sustain the country is if power is ceded to the southern part of the country.
He advised the president to do all in his power to stand by his words for the sake of his integrity because he foresees influences on him to backtrack on his word by some cabals
‘’At this crucial time, what we need is a southern president for stability in the country. I advise President Buhari to support VP Yemi Osinbajo or Rotimi Amaechi, it will be good for a healthy Nigeria. The only thing that can harmonize the country is giving it to south, giving the northerners will collapse the system.
‘’The northerners still want to be in power because the pronouncement of President Buhari cannot be trusted, there are some agenda that will be exposed before the election. President Buhari should stand by his word to give it to a southerner because there will be lot of influence on him to backtrack on his words. The northerners have their own agenda even as the president has given it to the south but if he stands by it, it will give President Buhari pedigree and integrity since it’s for the unity of Nigeria. Southern presidency will break northerners, cabals will still be frustrated to destabilize the southern presidency, some northerners will not be happy to see a southern president but no matter what, President Buhari should stand by his word’’.
Continuing, Primate Ayodele revealed that things will turn upside down if a northerner emerges as the next president of the country, while stating that Atiku’s presidency is still under review by God. He reiterated his advice for the president to support his vice president, Yemi Osinbajo or Rotimi Amaechi.
‘’Nigeria will turn upside down if another northern president emerges. I maintain that VP Osinbajo or Rotimi Amaechi are the best people that Buhari can support to become the party’s presidential flagbearer. If north goes ahead in 2023, a lot of things will turn upside down, the issue of Atiku becoming PDP presidential candidate is still under God’s review, a southerner is the right person to become Nigeria’s next president and it can come from any of the parties.
“A Northerner is not the answer to Nigeria’s present problem. President Buhari should support Yemi Osinbajo or Rotimi Amaechi for his party to win.’’
