The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has advised lawmakers and the present administration on the choice of the next senate president and speaker of the House of Representatives.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele advised that the next senate president should be a Christian from the Southeast zone, and among the candidates, Orji Uzor Kalu is the best. He then explained that if a Muslim has to emerge, former Zamfara governor, Abdulazeez Yari should be picked.
He admonished the present administration to do it in the interest of the country’s unity considering the faulty Muslim-Muslim presidency.
‘’The present administration has laid a divisive foundation with a Muslim-Muslim presidency. It is not in God’s plan for the country and will continue to hunt this government.
‘’However, in the interest of the unity of Nigeria, I urge the present administration to push for a Christian to become the next senate president. Among the Christians vying for the position, Orji Uzor Kalu is the best candidate and if at all a Muslim has to emerge, Abdulazeez Yari should be elected.’’
For the House of Representatives speaker position, he advised the administration to throw its weight behind either Tajudeen Abass or Ibrahim Wase. He mentioned them as the best candidates for the position.
