The Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has responded to a N10 billion defamation lawsuit reportedly filed against him by former Kano State Governor and NNPP chieftain, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Reacting to the legal action, Primate Ayodele maintained that he never defamed the politician, insisting that his statements were merely prophecies he received from God and not personal attacks.
According to the cleric, his role as a spiritual leader is to relay divine messages as revealed to him, stressing that the comments in question were prophetic warnings rather than attempts to damage anyone’s reputation.
The development follows reports that Kwankwaso instituted a N10 billion defamation suit over remarks allegedly made by the popular prophet concerning his political future and activities.
Primate Ayodele further stated that he remains committed to delivering messages he believes are divinely inspired, regardless of public reactions or criticism.
The legal dispute has since generated reactions from political observers and supporters of both figures, with many awaiting the outcome of the court proceedings.
As of the time of filing this report, Kwankwaso’s camp had not issued any fresh response to Primate Ayodele’s latest remarks.
Disclaimer: The claims made by Primate Ayodele represent his personal position regarding the lawsuit. The matter remains subject to judicial determination, and all parties are presumed innocent until any court ruling is delivered.
