Akure, Ondo state – Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has asked the family of Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state to take the ailing governor’s matter seriously.

Ayodele in a message shared via his official X handle recently, said Akeredolu’s illness is “more of spiritual than physical”.

The cleric therefore asked the Ondo governor’s family to seek the face of God for him to be delivered.

Ayodele said he had earlier warned Akeredolu, but the governor “did not listen”.

He said:

“Let the family of Akeredolu tell him take Akeredolu matter very serious (sic). What is happening to Akeredolu is more of spiritual than physical. Akeredolu’s health is very serious, they need to seek the face of God for him so that he can be delivered. Otherwise, his coming to office is 50/50.

“Let the will of God be done, because this is a warning ahead of time. This is what God said, that Akeredolu needs prayers. We have warned him earlier, but he did not listen to us.“

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a legal practitioner, Barrister Allen Sowore, said Olamide Oladiji, speaker of the Ondo house of assembly, “misinterpreted ” the facts by asserting that there was no agreement to transfer power to the deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, following the prolonged absence of Governor Akeredolu.

Sowore accused Oladiji of churning out half-truths “in an attempt to delay or abort the implementation of the directive of President Bola Tinubu”.
