Lagos: Prophet Seals Gbajabiamila, Seyi Tinubu’s Fate; Says They Can’t Be Gov

Two years into the governorship race in Lagos state, Primate Elijah Ayodele has ruled out the chances of potential aspirants such as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila and the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu to become the governor of the Centre of Excellence.

Apart from Gbajabiamila and Seyi Tinubu, other aspirants said to be interested in the race include, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, Jide Adeniran aka Jandor, the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Governorship candidate, Senator Tokunbo Abiru, the Chairman Senate Committee on Banking, amongst others.

But Primate Ayodele has one message for the aspirants’ none of them will smell the Alausa Government House.

His prediction is contained in a statement issued by his spokesman, Osho Oluwatosin on Wednesday. He urged the politicians not to embark on fruitless exercise as their dream of ruling the state would not be realised.

He also warned the Labour Party, LP 2023 Governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor to forget his aspirants as someone else has been chosen to lead the state.

According to him, the supernatural has picked Muri Okunola, the current Principal Secretary to President Tinubu, as the next governor of the state, adding “Except things change, I see Hakeem Muri-Okunola taking the lead in the governorship race.”

Okunola, a former Head of Service and Secretary to the Lagos State Government, is very close to the president, and has been rumoured to be among those being groomed to succeed the incumbent, Babajide Sanwo-Olu whose two-term tenure expires in 2027.

Part of the statement, read; “The Lagos state governorship race in 2027 will be a tough one that will see some powerful people humiliated. Many of those who seem interested at the moment will be disappointed.

“I want to advise Tokunbo Abiru, Gbenga Ashafa, Seyi Tinubu, Jide Adeniran, and Gbadebo Rhodes not to bother themselves, they won’t become governor in 2027 if they attempt to contest. They shouldn’t allow people push them to show interest, it won’t work.”

“Except things change, I see Hakeem Muri-Okunola taking the lead in the governorship race. If Femi Gbajabiamila has an ambition, it’s only God that can help him, he needs to seek the face of God because they will destroy his plans. They will fight him spiritually.”

Meanwhile, Ayodele’s prediction comes on the heels of the impeachment of Mudasiru Obasa, the former Speaker of the state house of assembly, who was rumoured to be a major contender for the state governorship race.

Obasa was impeached on Monday  by members of the state Assembly who accused him of corruption and high-handedness.
