Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to apply caution in his fight against opposition because it would breed more hatred for him from Nigerians.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele revealed that fighting the opposition the way it is currently done is risky for the ruling party.<\/p>\n

He explained that it will bring more crises for the government, and those around the president will not stand by him to fight when the time comes because they are after what they want to get.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must also caution the ruling party; fighting the opposition is a risky game because of their support, and the Nigerian government will not be able to fight the crisis because those with Tinubu are fake; they are deceiving him. Tinubu must apply caution because the more he fights, the more Nigerians hate him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prophet also asked the opposition to get prepared for more crises because the ruling party has more strategies to fight its leaders.<\/p>\n

He warned Abubakar Malami and El-Rufai not to think it\u2019s over because more is still coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpposition should get prepared for more vices from the ruling party because they will fight them with litigation, so they can lose focus. Malami, El Rufai shouldn\u2019t think it is over till they finish the election, they have several strategies\u201d<\/p>\n

Primate Ayodele urged the President to prepare adequately if he wants to continue fighting opposition because it won\u2019t be easy for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu must add more feet to his legs if he wants to fight opposition because they won\u2019t take it easy with him, either.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will start seeing several scenes and dramas coming up in the country. In two months time, we will start seeing them, and it will be very serious,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
