Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele has said former Mines and Steel Development Minister Kayode Fayemi will win the Ekiti governorship election.

Ayodele also predicted that the ruling All Progressives Congress will do same in Osun state as they prepare to go the polls later in the year.

Speaking during his church’s programme on Saturday in Lagos, the cleric however warned Fayemi to watch is utterances against incumbent Ayodele Fayose in the period leading to the poll.
 
“On the forthcoming elections in Ekiti and Osun states, PDP will lose Ekiti and Fayemi should take the right step and watch his utterances so if he is desirous of taking over from Fayose,” the prophet added.

“He would lose the election if he fails to listen to instructions. He must beam his electioneering campaign at the grassroots.

“In Osun, PDP has missed it. APC in Osun can still retain the seat if they pick the right candidate and the right candidate is in Aregbesola’s cabinet.

“I want to appeal to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to put a lot of things into consideration and take a bold step to contest the presidency. He will survive despite the fact that he is in the midst of crisis.”

In addition, he charged President Muhammadu Buhari to tackle herdsmen killings in the country before the situation gets out of hand.

He said that, “Buhari has done well in the fight against corruption but has missed a lot of things that needed to be given priority attention. That is why his second term is not certain.

“The President needs to address the issue of insecurity in Nigeria. Mosques will still be attacked, churches will still be attacked because the government got it wrong on the issue of herdsmen.

“The president should be more proactive about the security of the nation. There is need for the government to overhaul the nation’s security agencies as a way of dealing with this challenge.”
