BRICS will elevate Africa, more countries will join – Primate Ayodele
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday lauded the inclusion of some African countries, including Nigeria, as partners in the BRICS block.
Primate Ayodele said the organization will help elevate Africa while challenging the structure of the United Nations in the continent.
In a statement by his spokesman, the prophet explained that BRICS will offer Africa better options than the United Nations and the misconception about the African continent will begin to change for the better with BRICS.
According to Primate Ayodele: ‘’BRICS will wake up Africa and will challenge the UN’s Capacity in Africa structure. It will make Africa more sensible because it will offer what the UN has not offered before. This will cause a conflict of interest in the UN because the body has enslaved Africa for so long.’’
The prophet noted that there will be opposition against the prosperity of BRICS in the continent but regardless, he revealed that more nations will join because it will promote coexistence among nations.
‘’BRICS is a welcome development to balance Africa and make the continent excel. Although there will be opposition against BRICs in the continent, more African nations will join and this will harmonize co-existence and integration in the continent.
‘’It will correct a lot of misconceptions about Africa and tidy up the continent properly. With BRICs, Africa will begin to experience more financial and economic stability,” he added.

Edo election: Oshiomhole dismisses Federal might in Okpebholo’s victory
Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole has dismissed claims of Federal might playing an impact in the victory of Monday Okpebholo during the just-concluded governorship election in Edo State.
Oshiomhole insisted that Okpebholo won his election fair, square and not through the instrumentality of Federal might.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared Okpebholo winner of the election after polling the highest number of votes.
However, Oshiomhole assured that Okpebholo would do everything to justify his election victory when sworn-in.
Featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today, the lawmaker said: “The candidate of the Labour Party of which Obi is their leader who doesn’t seem to be interested in the party, because he’s more of an obidient, he’s not an institutional person.
“Report says he lost his polling unit to PDP not to us, so if a candidate lost his polling unit to PDP not to us, maybe his attack should be on PDP.
“From Obi’s sitting or hometown in Awka or Lagos, that’s how he arrived at that conclusion because he was not in Benin.
“Only last year, Obi and Atiku were both claiming that they won; two people claiming ownership of one phone.
“Ab-initio, one of them must be lying and yet they were entertained.
“Those who elected Monday Okpebholo are Edo people, Obi is not from Edo State, the PDP Chairman is not from Edo State, Asue Ighodalo is occasionally visiting Edo State, he does not live there.
“He operates from Protea Hotel, he does not stay in his village, I campaigned from my village and I told you that Edo people will not elect a visitor again.
“The election was won by Okpebholo, so he has the mandate of the people and that is what you call legitimacy.
“On the issue of Federal might, Federal might was there in 2016 when Obaseki won, in 2020 APC and Federal government was there under Buhari and he won. Then it was fine that there was no Federal might.
“I believe we won the election fair and square and we thank the Edo people. I know that Okpebholo when sworn-in will do everything possible to justify the huge confidence reposed in him.”
