Ayodele, however, assured Fubara that he would survive the impeachment plots against him if he sought God’s protection

The Spiritual Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has told Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State to get prepared for only one term in office despite his recent affirmation by the Court of Appeal.
He issued the warning via a statement made available by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, where he also assured Fubara that he would survive impeachment attempts against him.
Ayodele urged the governor to seek God’s face because only he can stop Wike’s quest to ensure he is impeached.
He went on to tell the Rivers State’s number one citizen that he will likely get the treatment meted out to the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwummi Ambode, while seeking a second term in office.

The clergyman said, “Only God can change Wike’s mind towards Governor Sim Fubara. He should get his mind prepared that his second-term ambition will be tough. It’s going to be like the issue of former governor Akinwummi Ambode in Lagos.
“He will still face impeachment, but I see him surviving it. The house will continue to be troubled. They will make him uncomfortable and make his first term miserable, but he will survive it if he turns to God for help.”
He further cautioned Fubara to watch out for moles in his government as there would be more attempts to ensure he gets removed from office.
“There is no amount of what he does; it is only God that can fight for him. There will be so many moles in his camp. Unfortunately, this is happening at a time when Fubara is willing to work.
“They won’t appreciate his efforts and they will want to mess him up. Those who are against his governorship will also add to it. The governor must be careful, put his security together and be very prayerful,” Ayodele added.
Following a face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, less than six months after succeeding him, Fubara has vowed to resist moves to oust him.
This is as Wike’s loyalists in the Rivers State House of Assembly moved to impeach the governor, who eventually outsmarted them.
Speaking about their rift last week, the minister accused the governor of burning down the state House of Assembly and labeled him an ingrate.
