Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu of Tough 2027 Election Challenges

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will encounter a tough electoral landscape in the South-West during the 2027 presidential election. He emphasized that Tinubu must intensify his efforts in Lagos, Oyo, and Osun states, where he anticipates fierce competition.

Ayodele cautioned against assuming an easy victory, describing the election as a challenging endeavor. He also highlighted the need for Tinubu to address potential issues in other states, including Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Niger, Bayelsa, Imo, Enugu, Delta, Benue, and Abuja.

Ayodele attributed some of the challenges to the Muslim-Muslim ticket adopted by the All Progressives Congress, warning that it could lead to religious tensions if not managed carefully. He urged Tinubu and his campaign team to exercise caution to avoid provoking violent reactions from dissatisfied groups, stressing the importance of wisdom in navigating these sensitive issues.
