Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has disclosed that there is a possibility of a rerun of the 2023 presidential election, but forces behind the election results will strongly resist it.
This was made known in a statement signed on Tuesday and made available to newsmen by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.
The outspoken cleric made it known that there are loopholes in the judiciary that are not well concealed and will later expose the ruling party.
‘’As Nigerians await the tribunal judgment, there is no way to it; there are leakages in the tribunal as revealed by the Lord. The leaks are not well packaged and will expose the ruling party.
“The ruling party has also realized there are no two ways about it. TCabals are monitoring this tribunal, and they are very desperate,’’ he disclosed.
He noted that if the election tribunal wants to be fair, the best is to call for a rerun, but forces behind the case will do anything to ensure the election remains as it is.
The religious leader maintained that, although the judiciary is supposed to raise the hope of Nigerians with a fair judgment, forces will seriously fight against the right judgment.
He, however, mentioned that an unfair judgment will make the judiciary and the independent national electoral commission (INEC) irrelevant.
‘’If the tribunal wants to be fair, the best is to call for a rerun, but forces behind the case will want the election result to remain as it is. The point is that the direction I see is a rerun of the election, but the forces behind it will want it to remain the same.
‘’This will knock the judiciary down and make them irrelevant. It will make INEC a body Nigeria cannot rely on. Of course, the judiciary will pay for it if it doesn’t go for it, and INEC will pay for it in the future.
‘’What I see is a rerun, but the power behind it will try to make it remain as it is. The tribunal is supposed to raise the hope of Nigeria and correct all the misconduct of the judiciary, but the forces behind it will fight against the right thing,’’ he added.
