Ejiofor Challenges Ayodele: Let Clergy Focus on Faith, Not Political Prophecies

Human rights lawyer and IPOB counsel Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor has urged Primate Elijah Ayodele to choose between spiritual duty and political forecasting. He argues that the pulpit was meant for salvation, not election analysis. Ejiofor warns that constant political prophecies fuel confusion and distract from the church’s core mission of evangelism and moral guidance. He cites biblical texts to stress that ministers should avoid worldly entanglements. He adds that democracy relies on reasoned debate and the people’s will, not prophetic predictions of victories and conspiracies. Ejiofor suggests that Ayodele should either focus on ministry or join active politics openly. The lawyer concludes that Nigeria needs prophets who speak truth to power, not forecasts that generate headlines. He calls for a return to spiritual priorities over partisan commentary.
