Primate Ayodele Alerts Tinubu to Inner Circle Betrayals

On October 16, Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding individuals close to him who may betray him as the 2027 elections approach. In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele advised Tinubu to urgently evaluate the loyalty of those surrounding him.

He criticized the recent inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential council, suggesting that many attendees were not genuinely supportive. Ayodele cautioned Tinubu against interpreting defections as a political advantage, describing them instead as a potential trap that could mislead him.

He warned that if Tinubu did not act swiftly, he might face significant betrayal shortly before the elections. Additionally, Ayodele expressed concerns about Tinubu's campaign efforts in the North, indicating that his team had not adequately secured support in that region and advised the president to focus on genuine allies rather than those motivated by self-interest.
