Coup: ‘Invading Niger will destroy Biden’s govt’- Nigerian cleric tells US
The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned the United States of American president, Joe Biden, against the country’s proposed involvement in the Niger Republic coup that ousted President Mohammed Bazoum.
Ayodele warned the US that invading the Niger Republic would amount to fighting God, maintaining that it may lead to a disaster.
The warning came after the US acting deputy secretary, Victoria Nuland, asked the junta to return power to Bazoum.
However, the Nigerian cleric cautioned that the US invasion of Niger Republic is “satanic” and a “terrorist move” that would spark God’s anger.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele warned Biden to allow the people of Niger Republic to decide their future rather than forcing the return of democracy on them.
Ayodele said invading the Niger Republic would cause more trouble to world peace.
The statement reads in part:
”Leave Niger to decide their future, this is the message of the Lord to the US. Going to fight in Niger is like fighting God, the US will pay heavily for it if the invasion happens.
“This will also discredit and disqualify Joe Biden’s government. His second-term ambition is still shaking. An attempt to invade Niger Republic will destroy his government,” the cleric declared.
