Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, strongly criticized Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, in response to El-Rufai’s recent comments regarding the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

El-Rufai defended his decision to appoint Muslims to key positions in Kaduna state, citing their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Expressing his disapproval, Primate Ayodele accused Nasir El-Rufai of being someone who could incite a religious war in Nigeria with his careless statement. He vehemently criticized the politician, referring to him as a satanic agent.

Primate Ayodele alleged that El-Rufai has a hidden agenda to Islamize Nigeria and warned that if President Tinubu allows him to be part of his government, it could result in a religious crisis and even escalate to war in the country.

Calling El-Rufai “satanic,” Primate Ayodele expressed a lack of trust in him and claimed that the election in Kaduna was rigged in favor of El-Rufai’s candidate, but divine intervention will overturn the outcome. He condemned El-Rufai’s insensitive statement and accused him of mocking Christians. Primate Ayodele further labeled El-Rufai as a religious hypocrite and a representative of the Taliban in Nigeria.

“The statement of El Rufai is unacceptable, we want a peaceful nation but El-Rufai is a threat to national peace. He is the one behind the Southern Kaduna crisis all this while. He should be warned or he will destroy Tinubu’s government. God will destroy his plans before his time and if Tinubu brings him in, he will destroy the government completely.’’

“El Rufai is an agent of satan and God will soon expose his plans. He lost Kaduna but the real winner will reclaim his mandate. El-Rufai is a devil who wants to enslave Nigeria and sell the nation to the Islamic Republic. We must rise against his evil agenda. He is a religious and ethnic racist. He is one of the backbone of Muslim-Muslim presidency in Nigeria and of course, Nigeria will soon see the repercussion.’’

“Tinubu should stop El-Rufai before he creates a religious war in this country. Christians are peaceful people, God will deal with El Rufai because he wants to create a fight in the country.’’

“If El-Rufai becomes anything in Tinubu’s government, he will burn the country, he will start a religious crisis and he has a devilish agenda that will soon be exposed.”
