Ahead of the forthcoming 2023 general elections, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has sent warnings to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu in regards to the polls.

The cleric in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, urged the INEC chairman to be careful so his workers will not be attacked during the election, predicting that certain candidates have planned to create a crisis in the country if they don’t win.

He said “INEC must not allow BVAS to be removed for the 2023 general elections; the chairman must take his stand because this will give him an edge.The election is crucial, it will let us know if Nigeria will remain one so the INEC chairman must be patriotic. He has a huge role to play.

“Some of the candidates have planned to create problems if they don’t win, they should caution the parties because no one is guaranteed 100% victory. Whoever wins should be allowed to rule. The INEC has a lot of work to do. INEC must be careful so their workers will not be attacked, they need to be secured,” he said. (Courtesy, excluding headline, Daily Independent)
