FCT, Abuja - The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff (CoS) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to be watchful.

He said he was only repeating his warning so that the concerned government official could immediately "seek the face of God".

The INRI church founder said:

“Gbajabiamila, this is another warning to you. I don’t hate you, and I hate nobody.

“I’m just telling you straight, as The Lord directs. Please seek the face of God. They want to humiliate you out of this seat. They want to mount pressure on you.

“They want to create enmity between you and Mr. President — (at) anytime this can happen!

“Please, seek the face of God so that this would not happen. There is a name to take over from you. Watch it, and look into it properly. It is a very serious thing.”
