You Have Missed The Governorship Seat — Primate Ayodele Tells Adelabu Over ‘Emilokan’ Declaration





By Adeyemi Obadimu


The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a strong prophetic warning to Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, over his recent political declaration and the use of the controversial slogan “Emilokan” in his governorship ambition for Oyo State.

In a trending video that has set social media abuzz, the  prophet, known for his accurate and fearless prophecies, warned Adelabu that his utterance of the word “Emilokan” has placed a spiritual stumbling block in his political path and could cost him the governorship seat if he fails to retrace his steps.


In his words, he said “Adelabu, Minister for Power, you have made a wrong mistake and made a wrong statement by your pronouncement that ‘Emilokan’ to be the governor of Oyo State. The word is an old arcade statement. Emilokan is in the past  meaning that you have failed. It’s either you adjust now, or you fail completely. Even the APC will fail if they pick you in Ibadan.”


The outspoken prophet further emphasized that the phrase ‘Emilokan’, which gained political prominence during the last general elections, has become spiritually rejected and should not be invoked again by anyone aspiring for leadership.

“Whoever told you to use that word ‘Emilokan’ has misled you,” he declared. “Sue me, arrest me, and reply me if you wish. You have once told me that if I talk again, you will arrest me and sue me  I am ready for you. I am giving you a word of advice as directed by God and a warning from the Lord. You can take me up if you like, but I’m telling you, Adelabu, with the word ‘Emilokan’, you have missed the governorship seat. You won’t be governor of Oyo State, unless you change or rephrase it, because the word ‘Emilokan’ is angry.”


Primate Ayodele, who has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most outspoken prophets on political, economic, and national matters, insisted that his message to the Minister was divinely inspired.

“That’s the warning from the Lord,” he concluded. “If you like, take it or do anything you want to do about it.”


The revered cleric has over the years gained recognition for his prophecies on politics, governance, and global events, many of which have come to pass. His latest revelation has once again stirred conversations in political circles, especially in Oyo State, where Adelabu is believed to be eyeing the governorship seat in the next election.

Observers believe this pronouncement may shape the unfolding political narrative within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, especially as the controversial ‘Emilokan’ slogan  meaning “It’s my turn”  continues to spark debates across Nigeria’s political landscape.
