The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Sunday, that the president of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo will win the election that is taking place today, but he will be incapacitated while in office.
CITYNEWS NIGERIA reports that Primate Ayodele, however, issued a warning to the President saying this will be his last election because he won’t be able to continue due to his incapacity.
Primate Ayodele made this revelation in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.
Ayodele disclosed that Mbasogo’s son will try to take over but it will cause issues in the country.
Primate Ayodele warned that there will be “rancor in the country, mother of all crises,” adding that poverty will be on the increase in Equatorial Guinea.
‘’For the presidential election in Equatorial Guinea, The incumbent will still retain the seat but He will have issues, this is his last election because he won’t be able to continue.
“The government will have issues because his son will want to continue.
‘’He will be incapacitated in office and will cause a lot of rancor. Poverty will increase and they should expect mother of all crisis in the country,’’ he said.
Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who is the world’s longest-standing president will seek to extend his 43-year authoritarian rule, marked by alleged rights abuses and corruption, in the nation’s election taking place today.
The West African oil-producing nation of about 1.5 million people has had only two presidents since independence from Spain in 1968; Obiang and his uncle Francisco Macias Nguema who he removed in a coup in 1979.
The 80-year-old Obiang, who has always been elected with more than 90 percent of votes in polls is vying for a sixth term against two other candidates: Andres Esono Ondo and Buenaventura Monsuy Asumu.
Obiang is also accused of muzzling dissent and freedom of expression. The government has denied the accusations.
Protests are mostly forbidden, media is heavily controlled, and it is not uncommon for political opponents to be arbitrarily arrested and tortured, rights groups say.
Intimidation has increased in the run-up to the polls, activists say, with authorities targeting civil society groups and critics of the regime.
