Theophilus Olabayo has warned that some people are planning to cause post-election violence as the country enters its critical stage in the coming weeks.
The founder and primate of the Evangelical Church of Yahweh Worldwide told journalists that the plans of these will not succeed.
He added that the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be successfully sworn in on May 29, 2023.
His words: ”They do not want a transition of power to Asiwaju, so they are trying to form an interim government. If they succeed, it will take the nation backwards and have grave consequences.”
The cleric also spoke about other political parties including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP), as he added:
”Opposition parties, PDP and especially LP, are part of the democratic experience. You win some and lose some, so whatever they do must be in the overall interest of the nation.
”Remember that my predictions about Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Abia, Enugu, Benue, Rivers and Delta gubernatorial elections came to pass and the losers are not calling for blood.
”There will be no war. Politicians need to be careful about their utterances. Hate speech should not be encouraged. Though, I foresee political assassination amongst the politicians, as some people try to create chaos that will lead to civil unrest.”
