Ganduje vs Al-Makura: Primate Ayodele reveals who APC must appoint as next National Chairman

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, says the best person to become the national chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) is the former governor of Nasarawa state, Senator Tanko Al-Makura.

The cleric known for giving political prophecies made this known in a statement signed and released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.

Primate Ayodele advised the ruling party to choose Al-Makura as its next chairman because he is the one whose chairmanship will not plunge the party into crisis, Nigerian Tribune reported.

The cleric added that he had earlier advised the APC to choose Al-Makura even before the ruling party opted for Abdullahi Adamu, who recently resigned.

"The best person to become the national chairman of the All Progressive Congress(APC) is Senator Tanko Al-Makura," he said.

He claimed that the APC's failure to heed his warning led to the crisis Adamu’s reign brought into the party.

Legit.ng notes that Ayodele's statement comes after rumours of President Tinubu endorsing former Kano governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, as the next APC governor.

Speaking further, Primate Ayodele said the ruling party would be plunged into a deeper crisis if it chooses Ganduje, a former Kano governor, as its next chairman.

"If Ganduje or any other person gets the position, the party will be rocked with crisis bigger than what it is facing now.

"If the party wants to move forward, they should pick him as the next chairman. I told them before choosing Adamu that Al-Makura is the best candidate but they didn’t listen and now, they have paid heavily for it.

"This is another opportunity for redemption. If they like they should listen and if they don’t, it’s their problem but the message I have for them is that Tanko Al-Makura is the best person they can pick," the cleric said.
