Primate Ayodele Sends Spiritual Message to Nigerians Over 2027 Election Choices
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a profound spiritual warning to all Nigerians regarding the upcoming 2027 elections. In a statement released on Friday, March 27, 2026, the outspoken cleric cautioned supporters of politicians to be extremely careful about their actions in backing their preferred candidates.
Warning Against Destructive Political Actions
Primate Ayodele emphasized that many individuals could destroy their futures spiritually by engaging in harmful activities, such as laying curses or participating in rituals, in the name of political support. He explained that these supporters often go unappreciated, suffering while the politicians and their families reap the benefits of their efforts.
The cleric stated: "There will be damages of name, scandal, and curses because of the power that won’t last. People will destroy their future because of power; however, these politicians will not appreciate them. They will not even remember them; their followers will suffer while contestants and their families will be the benefactors."
He further warned that such actions could lead to escalated political crises, with followers casting spells and performing rituals, ultimately sacrificing their physical and spiritual strength for candidates who do not value their contributions.
Call for Responsible Politics Among Aspirants
In addition to addressing supporters, Primate Ayodele urged political aspirants to exercise caution and promote responsible politics. He advised them to engage in gentle, non-confrontational approaches rather than fostering hatred, bitterness, or spreading misinformation.
Ayodele cautioned: "Aspirants must be careful because their followers will misinterpret them wrongly, and many will go online to create misinformation. They should talk to their followers and let them know the election is not a do-or-die affair. They should play it softly instead of politics of bitterness and hatred, politics of lies and misinformation."
He stressed that victory cannot be achieved through satanic followers, character assassination, or abusive tactics, emphasizing that only divine intervention can ensure success in the electoral process.
Prediction of Potential Dismissals of Key Appointees
Earlier reports indicated that Primate Ayodele issued a notable warning to key presidential appointees, including Bashir Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, and Nwakuche Ndidi, the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service. He predicted that both officials could face dismissal if they do not exercise caution, claiming they have been earmarked for removal by President Tinubu before the end of the current administration.
This prophecy adds to a series of warnings from the cleric, who has previously spoken on various political and national issues, urging leaders and citizens to prioritize ethical conduct and spiritual well-being over short-term gains.
Implications for the 2027 Election Landscape
Primate Ayodele's message highlights the need for a shift in political culture in Nigeria, advocating for:
- Avoidance of destructive and spiritually harmful activities by supporters.
- Promotion of gentle and responsible politics by aspirants.
- Regulation of online misinformation and character assassination.
- Recognition that electoral success depends on divine help rather than unethical practices.
As the 2027 elections approach, this spiritual advisory serves as a reminder to all stakeholders to engage in politics with integrity, caution, and a focus on long-term consequences, both for individuals and the nation as a whole.
