Primate Ayodele predicts outcome of presidential election tribunal

Meanwhile, Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, predicted the outcome of the ongoing presidential election tribunal in his book 'Warnings To The Nations.'

According to his prophecy, the 2023 presidential election will likely be nullified, leading to options such as a rerun, a fresh election, or leaving it as it is.

Ayodele also stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would not favour a rerun and would seek various lines of defence.
