Ayodele Responds to Kwankwaso's N10bn Defamation Threat

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangel Spiritual Church, firmly denied allegations of defamation made by former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who is considering a N10 billion lawsuit. The controversy arose from remarks made during Ayodele's sermon, which Kwankwaso's legal representatives claim could damage his political reputation.

Ayodele insisted that his comments were purely prophetic and not intended as a personal attack. He clarified that his statements were based on divine revelation and aimed to provide guidance, not to malign Kwankwaso's character.

Ayodele expressed disappointment that his prophetic messages were misinterpreted as personal attacks and emphasized that he holds no ill will towards Kwankwaso. He urged public figures to seek clarification on prophetic messages to prevent misunderstandings and unnecessary disputes.

Ayodele's response highlights the tension between religious expression and political interpretation in Nigeria's political landscape.
