  • Osun 2026: God has Ordained You for Second Term, Primate Ayodele Tells Adeleke

     

    The spiritual head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele has again declared that Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke will win the year 2026 governorship election.

    Primate Ayodele confirmed this in an empowerment programme organised by the Church in Lagos.

    At the programme, which has in attendance, Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo represented by his Chief of Staff; Senator Abiodun Olujimi from Ekiti State among others, the prophet noted that according to the revelation shown to him by God, Governor Adeleke has been ordained to rule the state once again, no matter how the contest may be.

    He recalled that he met Governor Adeleke in the year 2017 and said to him that he would win the 2018 governorship election, but will never get to the seat, which according to him eventually came to pass.

    “Your Excellency, let me remind you. In 2018, you were in the Senate. I came to your house, a white-story building located along the road. I told you that you will win but they will rob you of victory.

    “You stood up, screamed and later danced to give thanks to God. When the election was rigged, I gave thanks to God for the grace he gave me to deliver His message to you”.

    He told the congregation that the humility of Senator Adeleke was so uncommon that he was accompanied to his car by the Governor.

    Primate Ayodele said he is a friend of the former Governor of Osun State, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola but their friendship ended when he told him that God did not promise him a return to office in 2022 but the latter turned a deaf ear.

    “Oyetola was my friend. I told him he would lose the election but he was not ready to listen to the voice of God and that was what led to separation between us,” he explained.

    “If All Progressive Congress (APC) should field Oyetola come 2026, he will still lose. Anybody the APC fields for the race, Adeleke will beat him. It is divine”, the primate affirmed.

    “People have been calling me a controversial prophet, but I don’t care because God himself is also controversial.

    “I am now giving you God’s words that you, Governor Adeleke will win the 2026 governorship election, no matter how it may be.

    “I want to tell you that if Oyetola should contest again, it’s going to be a red card for him”, he enunciated.

    Primate Ayodele therefore urged Governor Adeleke not to consider moving out of the ruling Peoples Democratic party, PDP, saying the party has been anointed by God to remain in power in Osun State.

    He assured the Governor who he described as the happiest Governor on the continent of Africa to be rest assured that God will not forsake him but shame his enemies.

    “Asiwaju Sir, please keep doing the best that you’re doing for the people of Osun State. There is no magic wand that can save APC. Even if Tinubu came to Osun to campaign for APC and Oyetola, you will win,” he declared.

    Governor Adeleke later laid the foundation for the low cost housing project the church is embarking on in addition to the presentation of empowerment items to beneficiaries.
