The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday, blasted the People Democratic Party, PDP, following the outcome of the governorship elections in Edo State.

Primate Ayodele said the opposition parties in Nigeria were not on ground but active only on digital platforms.

In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele mentioned that PDP’s role as an opposition party had become expired because governors under the platform were dull.

The prophet, who warned the PDP to watch out for electoral malpractices ahead of the Edo election, explained that the 2027 presidential election will not be free of electoral malpractices.

According to Ayodele: ‘’I have been warning Edo PDP and Governor Obaseki about the outcome of the result seven different times but they refused to listen to warnings, they didn’t do what was needed to win the election.

“This is what Nigerians should be expecting in 2027, if care isn’t taken, election malpractice will determine who will win the election.

‘’There is no judiciary to win your rights; Edo is a precedent of what they should expect in 2027. The opposition is weak, PDP governors are all dormant, selfish and confused, the party is dead physically and spiritually.’’

Primate Ayodele described opposition parties as people in bondage that have been reduced to ceremonial politicians.

He mentioned some vibrant opposition members who had clout unlike the new generation of opposition parties.

‘’There is no opposition, the opposition is in bondage, they are just ceremonial governors, they don’t have action.

“Where are the likes of Wike, Saraki, Oshiomhole, Rotimi Amaechi, Fayose in opposition parties, they are all gone. The new generation of opposition parties are too dull, what we have left is digital opposition.’

‘’Especially in PDP, most governors are after their personal interest, they have no clout and will only betray themselves,‘’ he said.

Hardship: Tinubu aware his policies causing difficulties among Nigerians – Gov Sule

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has said that President Bola Tinubu was well aware that some of the policies he has undertaken are causing serious hardship in the country.

He, however, noted that the President had never at any occasion told anyone it was going to be easy, but insisted that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

DAILY POST reports that since taking over office from former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, Tinubu has taken tough decisions like the removal of subsidies on petroleum products and the floating of the naira among others.

His decisions have sent the prices of goods and services high and subjected citizens to hardship.

Appearing on Channels Television on Tuesday, the Nasarawa number one citizen said there is light at the end of the tunnel, assuring of better days ahead.

“At the end of the day, some of these reforms being taken by Mr President, he clearly mentioned to Nigerians that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

“As far as Mr President is concerned, he is very much aware of these reforms. Nobody said they were going to be easy, they are going to be difficult. This is the hardship we will go through but it is only temporary,” Sule said.

DAILY POST reports that the twin policies of fuel subsidy removal and Naira floating in June 2023 are behind the economic hardship Nigerians are facing.
