2019: I see Saraki succeeding President Buhari — Primate Ayodele

Published

on

Spiritual Leader and Head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke Afa, Ejigbo Isolo, Lagos, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele (JP), has emphatically said that the Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is the man that would succeed President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2019.

He urged the chairman of the National Assembly not to ignore this clarion message from the Most High God. He is the Messiah that would heal this land. He is the key to the new emerging democracy that will be enthroned and lead the country from May 29, 2019. He must not slack and so he must ensure he will be part and parcel of the new going democratic movement in the county where he will contest the 2019 Presidential election under the people’s oriented platform that would soon emerge on the scene.

Ayodele made this proclamation in an exclusive conversation with News Express that the mantle of leadership of this great country would fall on the shoulders of the young and the person that has been often revealed to lead is the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who will lead other resourceful professionals peopled with the youths to bail out the nation out of this mischievousness it has been undergoing since President Muhammadu Buhari started off in May 29, 2015, as he asked President Buhari not to play god or try the patience of God.

He further asked the President not to heed the destructive call from the people that surrounded him because their mission is to lead him into a deep ditch which will swallow him up and they will in turn retreat and rejoiced over him.

Primate Ayodele insisted that no older generation will make it to the Presidency come 2019 as the youths will effectively collaborate with people like the Senate President to wrestle power democratically from this older order which has woefully failed Nigerians and this is the readiest opportunity to chase them out of the corridors of power come 2019.

“Bukola Saraki should not take this message as one of those things as there will be severe consequences if he fails to obey the call for him to come on this rescue mission to salvage this rich nation from the hands of the destroyers that hijacked it, thereby making the citizenry to go through real hell every passing moment since 2015 before they can scavenge what to eat. This is the moment of truth and the Senate President must come out and contest for President in 2019 in order for God’s word to be fulfilled for Nigeria. Saraki will lead other dynamic and vision dripping young people like him to bring out this supposedly giant in all spheres to be great again,” he warns.

The INRI leader added the best option for Buhari is to heed to the advice of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo and his other elder statesmen that backed him to assume power in 2015 not to seek re-election, and backed the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to fly the flag of All Progressive Congress, APC in the Presidential election next year or risk being thoroughly disgraced out of office.

“Let me further reveal to President Buhari that these ones pretending to be supporting his reelection bid are just setting him up and would abandon him at the middle of the lonely high way when the tide of things turn against him. The most honourable option left for him would be to act like a statesman and throw in the towel. In 2011, Buhari had promised to serve only one term as age has limited his capacity to think actively. Why then will he allow himself to be dragged into the suicide ring against his will when Nigerians are so dissatisfied with his present performance?

However, Ayodele said that he will not sweep under the carpet the good-hearted intention of President Buhari for the country, sadly he is not in charge. He was a visionary leader but many factors combined to slow him down drastically and made him look ordinary. To save him, one will not hesitate to advise him to retire and go into the warm embrace of his family than the tug of war his clappers are urging him into.

What the country needs this 21st century is dynamic and upwardly mobile leader that will take Nigeria to lofty heights. The Senate President Bukola Saraki has what it takes to steer the fast drifting ship of the nation to prosperity than this present turbulent waters.

“It absolutely obvious that Nigeria does not need a leader who dwells more on blame passing than bending down painstakingly to tender solutions the major reasons why there was leadership change for the country in 2015 the first instance. Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s Presidency will not pose any kind of dangerous challenges for Nigeria as his purported second term declaration has generated deadly dust home and abroad.

“Without any prejudice, Bukola Saraki has all that it takes to turn Nigeria around from where Buhari will stop. To be honest, it is what I have seen and the Lord does not lie,” The energetic Senate President is ready to go. He won’t be an unwilling horse. Buhari is handicapped in so many ways illustrative. These are “heavenly” statements, not men, he declared.

The church leader reminded us that, “The whole truth about it is that there is nothing at variance in what all I said before and this one presently.”

He recalled that he had seen and said that Buhari’s second term is dicey and that it would come with turbulent challenges but that he, however, would win if APC presented him as the candidate for the 2019 but there will be so many dangerous waves thereafter which must be avoided before it explodes.
