Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, founder, INRI Evangelical Spiritual
Church, Lagos, has claimed that he warned former Coach of the Super
Eagles, late Stephen Keshi, to seek the face of God especially after he
won the 2013 African Nations Cup in South Africa.
Mr. Keshi, popularly called the Big Boss, died early hours of Wednesday at the age of 54 in Benin City, Edo State.
Like millions of Nigerians and football fans across the world still
reeling in pain over the sudden demise of the former Super Eagles
captain, Primate Ayodele yesterday said he wrote Keshi a personal letter
after the 2013 AFCON victory, to intimate him of the divine revelations
he got.
“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”, the cleric disclosed.
Ayodele urged Nigerian football buffs not to treat divine revelations
lightly, even as he maintained that the Super Eagles does not need a
foreign coach ahead of the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
“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 am 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
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 INRI founder advised.
