“Tinubu Will Lose This Election” — Primate Ayodele Backs Onaiyekan’s Remarks
Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Elijah Ayodele, has predicted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not secure victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during a church service in Lagos, the cleric said public dissatisfaction over the country’s economic situation would outweigh any attempts to influence voters during the next general election.
Ayodele also threw his weight behind recent remarks by John Onaiyekan, saying the Catholic cleric had spoken honestly about the mood of the nation.
According to him, Nigerians are experiencing widespread hardship and frustration, adding that some religious leaders have failed to tell the president what he needs to hear.
“This is what I expected all these babas of faith, I don’t want to mention their names because it’s not sounding right before God.
“I give it to Archbishop Onaiyekan for what he has said to the president. Leave him, if Tinubu like let him take or not but there is anger and hunger in the land.
“By the election, you will see how people will show their grievances, rice and money will not stop it.
We are telling you to do the right thing, all these surrogate aides will push you into a fire that will burn you, Tinubu will lose this election,” Ayodele said.
The cleric maintained that the outcome of the 2027 election would reflect the feelings of Nigerians at the polls, urging those in government to address the concerns of citizens rather than rely on political inducements.
