The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele on Friday told the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi to forget about the court case challenging the outcome of the presidential elections.
Ayodele told the former Anambra governor to focus more on his party’s governorship candidates for the March 18 election.
He further warned the political parties in Abia, Cross River, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, and Enugu States not to underestimate the candidates of the LP because the latter would shake them.
The controversial cleric also advised the LP candidates to put in more effort to shake the political status quo in those states.
In a statement by his spokesman, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele said:
‘’The APC and PDP in Abia state, Cross River, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Enugu should not underestimate the governorship candidates of the Labour party.
“If these candidates put in efforts, they will shake long-term parties in these states. Candidates of the ruling parties should sit right because underestimating Labour party will lead to their loss.
‘’Peter Obi shouldn’t focus too much on the court cases, what he should do now is make efforts to support the governorship candidates of these states. He should attend their rallies in order to boost their chances.”
