The Spiritual Leader of INRI Spiritual and Evangelical
Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, Primate Elijah
Ayodele, 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.
