Edo Poll: Primate Ayodele issues ‘final warning’ ahead of Guber election

Barely three weeks to the Edo State governorship election, the leader of INRI Evangelical spiritual church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Monday, issued what he termed a “final warning” to the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

Primate Ayodele warned the state governor ahead of the governorship election on September 19, 2020 against being relaxed, adding that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate should fight against every form of manipulation.

In a statement released on Monday, the clergyman urged Obaseki to ensure he wins the election through the ballot box because courts won’t favour him.

He said Obaseki should unleash his arsenal to fight against manipulation and disenfranchisement in the election.

Primate Ayodele warned that Obaseki may end up in jail and his political career gone if he fails to win the election.

The statement reads: “People are supporting Obaseki but those people might not be allowed to vote, he needs to be rugged else he will be eased out, if he takes any simplicity method, he will lose out.

“There will be manipulations in the election. If he isn’t careful, his victory will be given to someone else, even if he appeals the case, he won’t be given. He must not allow manipulations in the election. If he loses, he will be forever irrelevant in politics.

“They will want to steal of ballot boxes, they want to disenfranchise people, he must have committed people in polling units, he shouldn’t accept anything inconclusive, if he allows Ize-Iyamu to win, he is gone politically and jail is waiting for him, he should ensure he wins, because if he thinks the court will later rule in his favour after the election, It’s won’t work, it’s better he wins right from the election than taking Ize-Iyamu to court.”
