The allegation that Mele Kyari, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), spent millions to tarnish the reputation of Primate Elijah Ayodele is not only baseless but also a desperate attempt to leverage the NNPC Boss’s name for cheap publicity.
To begin with, Mele Kyari is the head of a vital national institution responsible for the strategic management of Nigeria’s petroleum resources, not a regulator of religious affairs. The suggestion that he would divert his attention from this arduous task as well as waste state funds to sponsor a smear campaign against fake prophecy peddling prophet is not only preposterous but also a disingenuous fabrication intended to mislead the public.
Primate Elijah Ayodele has a history riddled with failed prophecies, many of which have been widely debunked. His numerous predictions, often forecasting doom and disaster, have repeatedly proven to be inaccurate, rendering him a figure of media ridicule rather than serious consideration. Given this track record, it is absurd to believe that Mele Kyari, or indeed anyone with a modicum of common sense, would waste resources on discrediting a person whose reputation is already compromised by his own words.
Perhaps people think Kyari would stoop to primate Ayodele’s recent rehash of his trademark false prophesies when he claimed that Kyari would be the cause of a protest that would be president Tinubu’s undoing. But who wastes time giving substance to the ramblings of a failed prophet.
Rather than waste time wondering whether Kyari would commit state funds on a failed prophet, it is important to question why Mele Kyari’s name is being linked to someone whose prophecies have consistently missed the mark. The media and public do not need a state-sponsored campaign to recognise the inconsistencies in Ayodele’s predictions. In a serious society, individuals who misuse their platforms to spread falsehoods under the guise of prophecy would naturally face public scrutiny without any external prompting.
The notion that Mele Kyari would invest even a kobo in discrediting a figure already discredited by his own actions is ludicrous. The real issue here seems to be an attempt by certain individuals to exploit the respected Kyari brand for their own gain. It is crucial for INRI and their prophet of misses to concentrate on how to regain public confidence rather engaging in this wild goose chase. Their prophet has done this to himself.
Iam very much shocked, disdained and cannot comprehend why this matter is brought to the forefront. What is the wisdom, logic and reason behind all this saga that have no link with professional conduct of Mele Kolo Kyari on his role as GCEO of NNPC LTD? I take exception on this wild allegation. Sanction must apply on this matter so that history will not repeat itself. Please we need people like Kyari working for the public good to be protected in their careers.
