The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has sent a message to governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo -Olu.
He claimed there are forces planning to unseat him.
This is coming on the heels of a rumoured rancor between the governor and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which has been making news lately.
Primate Ayodele, in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, recounted that he foretold the crisis between the president and the governor at the beginning of the latter’s second term but was ignored.
He urged Sanwo-Olu to do everything within him to ensure he settles whatever differences that may be occurring to avoid being disgracefully removed, while pleading with Tinubu to stop the planned removal.
“I had said Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu will fight. Sanwoolu’s and Tinubu’s fight hasn’t started; if he isn’t careful, he will be removed. I want to beg Tinubu not to allow them to remove him.
“I’m calling on Sanwo-Olu to reconcile to avoid being disgracefully removed. It’s unfortunate that there are no elderly people in politics; they are all after what they would eat, and they don’t arrange things. If there is no money, they don’t do anything.”
He urged Sanwo-Olu to be calm and avoid listening to people who are encouraging him to be strong-hearted about the crisis.

“Sanwo-Olu needs to calm down, find a solution between you and your boss. It is not well, once you leave there you would realize people don’t respect you, they are only with you because you are still there.“
“I want to urge you to ignore anyone advising you to be strong-hearted, if you are not careful, they will remove you in 2026. Prayers will not be able to save you then if you don’t retrace your steps.”
