Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called on its members and supporters to disregard recent remarks by Primate Elijah Ayodele, the head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, claiming that the party’s chances in the upcoming 2026 gubernatorial election in the state is dependent on cooperation between prominent party leaders.
This call was contained in a statement by Kola Olabisi, the Osun APC Director of Media and Information on Sunday in Osogbo.
The party revealed that Primate Ayodele had in a widely circulated video stated that APC’s victory would hinge on uniting former Osun governor, Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, currently the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, with former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, under the Omoluabi Movement.
Rejecting Ayodele’s prediction, the APC asserted that the claim was unfounded and intended to “create unnecessary tension within the party.”
Olabisi, who described Ayodele’s statement as a “political analysis disguised as prophecy,” maintained that “our party is united and working diligently towards success in 2026 without external influences.”
Citing Ayodele’s past incorrect predictions as grounds for dismissal, Olabisi pointed out, “This is the same prophet who falsely predicted former President Goodluck Jonathan’s continued rule till 2019 and claimed that Atiku Abubakar would win the 2023 presidential election.
“We reject the Primate Ayodele’s fallacious prophecy which we consider to be in the realm of a figment of the imagination of the suspected mercantile prophet of which its prediction is aimed at causing unnecessary tension and friction within our party in Osun State.
“We would like to impress it on Prophet Ayodele and his discreet sponsors that our party which has been working assiduously round the clock to achieve victory in the said elections would continue to work for its victory without the enlistment of any metaphorical serpents who have become political pariahs and men of yesterday in the corridor of political power in the state because of their evil deeds unleashed on the party in the past.”
According to the APC spokesperson, the party is committed to moving forward, confident in its direction and leadership.
