Founder and Spiritual Head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari over running for a second term in 2019 due to his ill health.
Ayodele noted that the failing health of Buhari was spiritual and not physical and should not be taken with levity by lovers of the President.
He said this while reacting to remark by the Special Adviser to the President on Social Media, Mrs. Lauretta Onochie, who accused some Nigerians of hiring marabouts, clerics and other spiritualists to pray for Buhari’s death.
Reacting further, Ayodele told newsmen, “What the woman said shows that she is not serious about the health of her principal. If she was serious about his health, she would have resorted to praying for the man to get well soon.
“Buhari needs our prayers because he has the potential to be one of the best presidents. Nobody is attacking Buhari rather it is his destiny to fall sick after emerging the president of Nigeria for the second time.
“Let us look at it beyond the physical realm because in Nigeria, most people don’t understand what spiritualism means. So Buhari’s health needs prayers. Beyond medical, let us ask for God’s divine intervention over his health. His first term needs prayers, forget about his second term.
“Those who are talking about his second term want to kill him. Please don’t let us play politics with his health. Everybody who loves Buhari must be serious about his or her prayers for him. This is not the time to joke; it is not the time to wish him dead.”
Recall that an Abuja-based prophet, Wisdom Nnamdi Ezeigwe, had recently admonished Buhari to return to Nigeria immediately and seek spiritual solution to his failing health.
