Primate Ayodele Critiques Bishops Endorsing Tinubu
On September 11, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, condemned the endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term by certain Nigerian bishops. Ayodele accused these clergymen of acting out of hunger and self-interest rather than true spiritual conviction, claiming they have reduced the name of God to a means for personal gain.
He extended his criticism to politicians supporting Tinubu's re-election, suggesting they share the same selfish motivations. Ayodele advised Tinubu to focus on genuine performance in office instead of being swayed by what he termed as hollow praise.
The political landscape is tense, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) warning against illegal campaigning, reflecting the heightened scrutiny of the electoral process as the 2027 elections approach.
