One thing that is consistent with the prophetic ministry of Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele is that his prophecies often come to pass.
And when his prophecies fail to come to pass, the man of God is happy, especially when it has to do with those that are tagged ‘Bad Prophecies’. This is because those who would have suffered the effect of the negative prophecies would no longer have to worry about such a plight.
Over the years, politicians, public servants and even high-placed personalities have all confirmed the accuracy of the man of God’s prophecy. Indeed, one of the biggest pains of the recently deceased President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisil might be that he never had an encounter with Primate Ayodele or saw a video published on 5th of November 2023, where Primate Ayodele stated that the world would lose a prominent president in 2024. Had Raisil seen the video, maybe he would have been alive today.
Although the message was there for all, Raisil never saw it. Whatever the reason might be, he is now dead, and nothing can be done about it.
The Iranian President, 63, the country’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province, and other officials including bodyguards, were found dead at the site of a helicopter crash after hours of searching through a foggy, mountainous region of the country’s northwest, state-run IRNA news agency reported.
However, Raisil is not in isolation regarding those who have not listened to Primate Ayodele’s prophecies and have had to regret it.
During an interview session captured on video in 2023, Primate Ayodele was heard saying Godwin Emefiele the then Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) would be faced with so many troubles as he foresaw his arrest. He also made it known that Emefiele would be embarrassed unless he seeks the face of God.
Just like the prophecy said, Emefiele is currently facing multiple suits in court with his bail money estimated at several millions of Naira.
Only days back, he forfeited properties worth 12.18 billion to the federal government. The properties included one valued at N11,140,000,000.00. $1.4m alleged to be proceed of bribe was also forfeited. Other forfeitures include a $4.7m mansion and another estimated at N800m.
Also, Primate Ayodele called for prayers against ailment among sitting governors in the country. He warned that he foresaw a sitting governor falling ill while in office.
The call was made in his annual book of prophecy titled ‘Warnings To The Nations’ released in July 2022.
Like he prophesied, the governor of Ondo State, late Rotimi Akeredolu was subsequently announced to be battling health challenges that eventually cost him his life.
On 27 December 2023, Akeredolu died at the age of 67. He died at a German hospital where he was receiving treatment for leukaemia and prostate cancer.
It is the fulfilment of these prophesies and many more that has seen many urging Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State to listen to the warnings of the prophet before his prophecy comes to pass.
In the 2023/2024 edition of Warnings To The Nations, Primate Ayodele while prophesying and referring to Osun State said, “The governor will build the state to a level, but must be careful against serious crisis.”
The man of God also noted that the state needed a lot of prayers to survive against attacks.
“The state must be vigilant in terms of security and people who are out to cause ethnic crisis. Despite the governor’s efforts, some people want to bring him down. The governor must be careful of political differences with party chieftains. The state will perform well, but the governor must be careful because they will turn against all of his efforts.”
“Let’s rebuke crisis among the transport unions. The governor must watch against unexpected shootings and herdsmen attack.”
Primate Ayodele also mentioned areas such as Olaoluwa, Ila, Ejigbo, Ede North, Boripe, Boluwaduro, and Aiyedire as places where the governor should watch to ensure that they don’t become a breeding ground for miscreants, adding that crisis might erupt from local governments in the state including Boripe, Egbedore, Ejigbo, Ife East, Ife North, Ife West, Aiyedire, Atakunmosa East, Atakunmosa West among others.
Since Primate Ayodele’s prophecy, there have been one crisis or the other in Osun State including a land-related communal face-off between indigene of Ifon-Osun and Ilobu communities that led to the burning of several houses and the killing of a commercial motorcyclist.
However, amidst this budding issues and the recent celebration of the governor as Vanguard Governor of the Year, is the warning from Primate Ayodele, even as observers continue to pray that nothing untoward happen during Adeleke’s watch in Osun State.
