Oke Afa, Lagos state – The spiritual leader of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has lamented that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ‘is gradually dying’.

Speaking on Tuesday, September 24, in a video seen by Legit.ng, Primate Ayodele explained that only PDP chieftains of the stature of the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, can salvage the party.

He said:

“PDP is gradually going into oblivion. I said it before this year. Two states will be taken away from PDP. You have lost Edo, and you are soon going to lose Rivers state. No matter what, Rivers state is going gradually.”

Ayodele continued:

“All these PDP governors, they don’t have stamina, they don’t know how to do propaganda, they don’t have strength. Where are the likes of Nyesom Wike in the PDP? The likes of Ayodele Fayose, the likes of Bukola Saraki. They are no more (sic) there, so the party is dying gradually.

“PDP will soon go into coma.”

Legit.ng reports that the PDP has been embroiled in crisis since the 2023 presidential election. In April, the national working committee (NWC) of the party passed a vote of confidence in Damagum. However, certain chieftains of the party still want him removed.
