The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has asked for the postponement of the February 25 general election.
Ayodele made the request in a statement on Friday issued by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho.
According to the clergyman, some unnamed persons have planned to sabotage the next month’s election.
He hence asked the Independent National Electoral Commission to postpone the election to a later date to ensure a fair, credible, and violence-free exercise.
Ayodele said:
‘’If INEC doesn’t postpone the general elections, it will not hold in some places and it will lead to an inconclusive election. There are some people who will sabotage the election in those places.”
He further stressed that the nation needed restructuring which is the only solution to her pending troubles and not elections.
The cleric said:
“Nigeria cannot move forward without restructuring, God said that is the answer to Nigeria’s problems, not elections. If Nigeria doesn’t do restructuring in the coming dispensation, the country will collapse and what we don’t expect will happen.
‘’If we want Nigeria to be united, restructuring is the answer. I also foresee a massive protest against the government in the coming dispensation if restructuring isn’t done.
‘’None of the candidates can get the solution to the country, all the campaigns are lies. The best bet for the country is restructuring.’’
