Primate Ayodele Issues Stark Warning to President Tinubu Over 2027 Election Betrayals
In a dramatic prophecy ahead of the 2027 general elections, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele has issued a stern warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, cautioning him about potential betrayals from within his own political camp. The founder and head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Oke Afa, Lagos, delivered this message through a statement released on Sunday, March 29, 2026, emphasizing that not all governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are fully committed to the president's re-election bid.
Specific Northern States Identified as High-Risk Zones
Primate Ayodele pinpointed several crucial northern states where President Tinubu must intensify his efforts to secure victory and avoid political setbacks. According to the cleric, these regions pose significant challenges due to potential betrayals and strong opposition activities. He explicitly mentioned:
- Kano: Warned that betrayal could occur if not handled carefully.
- Kaduna: Described as not easy to win, requiring serious homework.
- Katsina, Kebbi, and Gombe: Highlighted as states where betrayal is anticipated.
- Adamawa and Benue: Noted as difficult territories with opposition groundwork.
The prophecy underscores the need for President Tinubu to strengthen his alliances and campaign strategies in these areas to mitigate risks.
States Expected to Support Tinubu's Re-Election
In addition to the warnings, Primate Ayodele identified certain states that are likely to back President Tinubu's re-election campaign. He advised the president not to take these supporters for granted, stressing their importance in the upcoming electoral battle. The cleric listed:
- Taraba
- Niger
- Sokoto
- Borno
He emphasized that these states are standing strong for the president, despite alleged underground efforts by opposition figures like Atiku Abubakar to strike deals in the north.
Broader Context of Ayodele's Prophecies and Political Insights
This latest warning is part of a series of prophecies from Primate Ayodele concerning Nigeria's political landscape. Previously, he has issued predictions about potential sackings of presidential appointees, including Bashir Adeniyi of the Nigeria Customs Service and Nwakuche Ndidi of the Nigerian Correctional Service, cautioning them to be vigilant. The cleric's statements often blend spiritual foresight with political analysis, reflecting the intertwined nature of religion and governance in Nigerian society.
As the 2027 elections approach, such prophecies can influence public perception and political strategies, highlighting the role of influential religious leaders in shaping electoral dynamics. President Tinubu and the APC may need to heed these warnings to navigate the complex political terrain and secure a successful re-election campaign.
