The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has said that the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, had once benefited from his prayers.
Primate Ayodele, who made this statement in reaction to a recent criticism targeted at him by Femi Adesina, said that he once prayed for him to become great in life.

Primate Ayodele had last week, in one of his prophecies, said Nigeria will break up without war, but with ease before 2040.
Angered by the prophecy, Adesina, described Ayodele’s prophecy as fake, pointing out that the cleric had made several similar prophecies that never happened.
However, addressing his congregants on Sunday, Ayodele said the presidential aide is his boy, claiming he was not interested in joining issues with him.
He said Adesina was a beneficiary of his spiritual works, asking the presidential aide to carry out investigations before making such claims.
On his prophecy about the country’s breakup in 2040, Ayodele noted that it is too early to kick against it, urging Adesina to wait till then.
‘’Femi Adesina is my son, I can’t join issues with him, I understand he is only trying to defend his paymasters,” he said.
‘’He claimed all my prophecies are negative but where was he when I prophesied the death of Abubakar Shekau earlier this year?
‘’On my prophecy about Nigeria’s break up before 2040, Femi Adesina should wait till then before describing this prophecy as false,” he said.
“He has interviewed me before, we have met and I even prayed for him some years back’’
‘’Before Buhari became president, I told him personally that he would someday become President when he was in ANPP, Femi was not even there but he can verify this from the President.
“Femi is one of the people I have prayed for to become great in life, I don’t even see his criticism against me as an Insult.
“I am not angry with Femi, I won’t pray against him, like I said, Femi is my son, my friend, and my reporter. I can’t join issues with Femi Adesina, he is my son. ”
