Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu on 2027 Election Risks

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, issued a warning to President Tinubu regarding his ambitions for a second term in the 2027 elections. In a statement released on September 4, 2026, by his media aide Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele expressed that Tinubu's second-term aspirations are jeopardized unless he reconciles with key allies he has alienated since taking office.

The cleric emphasized that political maneuvering alone would not suffice for Tinubu's re-election, indicating that a higher form of accountability is approaching the president. He criticized certain appointees within the current administration for exacerbating the rift between Tinubu and his former supporters.

Ayodele noted that time is running out for the president to mend these relationships, suggesting that sincere reconciliation is the only viable path forward before the upcoming elections. He has a history of making predictions about Nigerian political figures and governance.
