Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele has issued a stark warning to President Bola Tinubu, cautioning him against depending on the United States for political support, claiming such reliance could have severe consequences for his health, reputation, and chances of a second term.
Ayodele's Prophetic Warning
In a video posted on the official Facebook page of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church on Sunday, July 26, 2026, Ayodele directly addressed President Tinubu, stating, "America is not interested in you, Bola Ahmed Tinubu." He accused the president's advisers of misleading him by suggesting Washington is in his corner. "People who are hyping America are just trying to play politics with you. They are just trying to make you happy," the cleric said.
Ayodele stressed that the repercussions of relying on the US extend to multiple facets of the president's life. "Bola Ahmed Tinubu, don't rely on America. Your reliance on America is dangerous. It is dangerous for your second term, it is dangerous for your health, it is dangerous for your name," he warned.
Allegations of US Interference in 2027 Election
The religious leader further alleged that the United States has a malicious agenda for Nigeria's upcoming 2027 presidential election. "America have their choice. And they want to be involved in Nigeria's election. They want to install who they want to install," Ayodele claimed. He added that the US does not see the positive aspects of Tinubu's leadership, saying, "Honestly, the good side of you, they are not seeing it."
Ayodele urged Tinubu to look beyond the counsel of his inner circle, asserting that his advisers are shielding him from an uncomfortable truth. "You don't see what is coming up. America doesn't want you. Don't let your advisers deceive you," he concluded.
Previous Prophecies and Track Record
Primate Ayodele has a history of issuing prophetic and political pronouncements about Nigerian leaders and sitting heads of government, often drawing national attention with his assessments of political developments. Prior to this warning, he had also cautioned Bashir Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and Nwakuche Ndidi, the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS). Ayodele predicted that both appointees could be removed from office before the end of the current administration if they are not careful, claiming President Tinubu has earmarked them for dismissal.
These prophecies come amid heightened political tensions as Nigeria approaches the 2027 election cycle, with various stakeholders positioning themselves for the contest. Ayodele's warnings often spark debate about the role of spiritual leaders in political discourse.
