I Personally Warned Stephen Keshi that He Needed Prayers - Popular Cleric Opens Up
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Spiritual Leader of INRI Spiritual and
Evangelical Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, has reacted to the demise of
former Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, saying he foresaw his death.
The cleric said he warned late Keshi to seek the face of God after the ‘vision’ he saw of him from God.
According to the Sun, Primate Ayodele said he wrote Keshi a
personal letter after the South Africa 2013 Nations Cup campaign to
intimate him of the divine revelations he got.
Ayodele said, “I have been in deep pains since I learnt of his death. Keshi was a soccer icon.
“He served Nigeria well both as a player and as a coach. I
remember writing him a personal letter after the Nations Cup in South
Africa and warned him to seek the face of God.
“He needed prayers and I told Nigerians then that Keshi has
completed his assignment with the Eagles after the Nations Cup and that
Eagles needed another coach to move forward.
“I have sent messages to the NFF and I hope they will listen. I
have told them the Abuja Glass House needs some spiritual cleansing.
“On the Eagles, I have made it clear that what the Eagles need
now is not a foreign coach. This is what God revealed to me. I’m not
saying it to attract publicity or for any financial gain.
“Let Pinnick Amaju and his board look inwards for a coach. From
what God has revealed to me, an indigenous coach will not only qualify
the country for the World Cup, but will take the Eagles far in the
competition in Russia. Bringing a foreign coach will be a disaster.
“They shouldn’t waste money on a white man. The crisis is not
good for our football. If it is not resolved everything will be at a
standstill and most of those sponsoring the game will pull out.
“There will be no money in NFF and the country will stop doing
well. I just hope the gladiators will seek the face of God and know that
the country’s interest and that of our youths should come first,” the cleric stated.
