By; BAYO AKAMO, Ibadan
A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo on Saturday, cautioned the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele over his comment on the coming Edo State governorship poll.
Ambassador Ajadi in a statement, frowned at Primate Ayodele’s purported comment on NNPP gubernatorial candidate in Edo State, Azembe Arena that he will not make any significant success in the September Governorship election.
The NNPP chieftain stressed that he was shocked at the utterances of Primate Ayodele, adding that he should concentrate on his church work and leave politics to politicians or he should drop the garb of evangelism and join politics.
Wondering how Primate Ayodele was concerned about the NNPP candidate, saying, “is that part of his spiritual work? Our candidate has not come to you to solicit for help whether spiritual or financial, while narrowing down on Azemhe.
” Why don’t you concentrate on your spiritual work. Why are you dambling into politics? How much time have you spent in uplifting the spiritual lives of your church members”, he said.
Ambassador Ajadi added, ” Is that what God sent you to tell Nigerians that are suffering under the present government.You will do well to keep to your job as a spiritual person. If you drag yourself into politics, you will be dragged in the mud and you won’t have any more respect.
“As a spiritual leader, there are avalanche of works to do, but you leave that and concentrate on our candidate. How does it concern you, if he loses his money? Did God send you to tell him that? I will also call on members of his church to call him to order. NNPP is a new movement and is daily receiving members from other parties due to its laudable programmes.
“A statement or whatever from the likes of Primate Ayodele will not deter us in bringing succour to the suffering Nigerians starting from Kano and Edo State this year’s September.
