"Kogi election would favour APC" - Ayodele

Making a prediction ahead of the highly-anticipated poll, Primate Ayodele said the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and others will fail in their bid to displace the APC. The cleric cited the opposition parties ‘inability’ to come together.

He wrote on his official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle recently:

“In Kogi state, the coming gubernatorial election would favour the ruling party. The opposition could not form a coalition to defeat the APC.

“It is only a coalition of the oppositions that can give them victory over the APC.”
