Primate Elijah Ayodele, the head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has warned Nigerians against calling pastors who backed Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, a fake, including Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church, Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Christian Center, and others.
Primate Ayodele pleaded with Nigerians not to place the blame on the pastors since they desired change in the nation in a statement that was signed by his media assistant, Osho Oluwatosin.
He clarified that they only offered statements and prayers in support of Obi rather than making prophesies.

The man of God said that the fault should actually go on the opposition candidates, not the pastors who backed them through their pastoral callings, because they didn’t even pay attention to the prophetic guidance given to them in order to win the election.
He said: “People should stop attacking men of God who supported Peter Obi for the presidency. You can’t blame them because all they want is change. The country is hard and they want a change.
“They didn’t prophesy; all they did was prophetic declarations. The likes of Paul Enenche, Oyedepo, and others didn’t give prophecies for Peter Obi.
“When you say Nigerian pastors disappointed you, it’s just funny because those that even gave prophetic direction for opposition candidates, did anyone listen to them?
” I said then that Tinubu was ready to take the victory by all means, and I also told Obi and Atiku what to do to win the election, but did they do anything? Why are you blaming Nigerian pastors?’’

The man of God went on to clarify that he is not referring to men of God who claimed that Tinubu’s inauguration as president wouldn’t go through, but rather to those who utilized their pastoral platforms to ask for prayers and support for Obi.
Ayodele added: “I am not talking about pastors who said swearing-in wouldn’t hold, I am talking about those who stood with Obi during the election using their pastoral platforms.
“There is a difference between prophetic declarations and prophecies. The former is about your will before the Lord and the pronouncement that God should shift situations.
“They are not God, they just wanted a change. Stop blaming the prophets for whatever happens in the country.’’
