The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has shared his thoughts on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) leadership and the Super Eagles goalkeeper. In a recent prophecy video, Ayodele urged the NFF Normalization Committee to appoint Mustapha `Abdulhakeem` as the new president. He described Abdulhakeem as the best candidate to address the current state of Nigerian football.
Ayodele expressed concerns about the potential appointment of Adeniyi, currently with Customs, as NFF president. He used a local analogy to convey his warning, stating that choosing Adeniyi would be akin to a basket carrying a ball, which would ultimately lead to failure. This warning comes as the NFF Normalization Committee prepares to make a decision on the leadership.
The cleric also shared his views on the Super Eagles' goalkeeper for the upcoming Nations Cup. Ayodele warned that selecting Okoye would bring bad luck and lead to Nigeria's total failure in the tournament. He emphasized that Okoye in goal would negatively impact the team's performance, affecting their chances in the Nations Cup and potentially the World Cup.
While expressing his reservations about current goalkeeper Nwabali, Ayodele noted that Nigeria can still manage with him, as he still has some luck. However, he advised that the team would eventually need a more suitable goalkeeper. Ayodele addressed Olapade and Diko, stating that Nigeria would require a replacement goalkeeper and that some players are not essential to the team's success.
Ayodele recalled his previous warning about Ahmed Musa, stating that he would not allow Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup. He also mentioned Osimhen in the same context. The cleric emphasized that he is only sharing his insights to guide the football authorities, and that they would ultimately be responsible for the consequences of their decisions.
According to Ayodele, he does not need to demonstrate extraordinary abilities to make his point, but rather relies on his knowledge from God. He insisted that Abdulhakeem is the best candidate for the NFF presidency, reiterating his stance that Adeniyi is not suitable for the role.
In conclusion, Ayodele urged the NFF Normalization Committee to consider his advice when making their decision. He emphasized that time would tell if his warnings are heeded, and that his words should not be taken lightly. The NFF leadership and Super Eagles coaching staff will have to weigh Ayodele's comments as they make their decisions.
