The Leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has lambasted traditional rulers for endorsing politicians, accusing the traditional institution of being corrupt, stressing that there is no Emir or Oba bold enough to speak the truth to politicians because they dubiously got to the throne.

According to a statement released by his spokesman Oluwatosin Osho,Ayodele said: ‘’It’s unfortunate that our traditional rulers, the Emirs and Obas, are already slaves to money because they pray for anyone that comes to them, all for money. The traditional institution of Nigeria is not active;unlike before. None is bold enough, to tell the truth to these politicians because they all dubiously got to the throne, they keep on endorsing because of money, it is very embarrassing.’’

He said that pastors don’t need to join politics, but they should always speak the truth to politicians that which is right and that which is wrong.

But some pastors mess with the name of God all in the name of contesting, I remember Okotie, Tunde Bakare that said it’s God that sent them, when they failed woefully, they cried foul, let us be real.

Most church leaders whose members are
governors, vice presidents, senate presidents, and many more, will never tell them the truth.They go about hailing them, knowing fully well that they are not performing.

2023 is important and we are all concerned; nobody must be left out, we must get our PVC to vote for the right person, let us vote our conscience, don’t let us vote because of what we will eat, politicians have fooled Nigerians, let us not allow the same set of people to come on board again.

Hunger is on the increase, many Nigerians are angry, and it’s so sad that these politicians keep on deceiving unsuspecting citizens.

As a clergy, I am closer to the grassroots than any of these politicians, I give to the people a lot and I know the yearnings of the people, these politicians do nothing for them, until it is election period,” he stated.
