Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can be defeated in the 2027 elections if the opposition unites and champions significant social and political change. In a prophecy released on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Ayodele emphasized that a divided opposition stands no chance against Tinubu.
Ayodele's Warning on Tinubu's Determination
The cleric warned that President Tinubu is prepared to fight hard to retain power. "Tinubu is ready for anything to win the election. It will not be business as usual because he is ready to fight anyone or anything that wants to stop him from winning the election. Opposition parties must prepare adequately; it will not be easy for them," Ayodele said.
Call for Opposition Unity
Ayodele urged opposition parties, including the PDP, ADC, and NDC, to unite if they hope to unseat Tinubu. "If the opposition wants to go into the election divided, they should forget about winning the election. A divided opposition stands no chance against Tinubu. They should all come together if they are after removing Tinubu from power. The more they remain divided, the more chances they create for the ruling party," he added.
Foreign Opposition Predicted
Ayodele also predicted that some members of the international community, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, may not support Tinubu's re-election bid. He noted that these countries could align with opposition parties to see Tinubu removed from office. "The international communities will not support Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. The president has all it takes to win the election, but the international community will be a major obstacle to his victory," Ayodele stated.
The prophecy comes amid ongoing political maneuvering by opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections. Ayodele's message serves as a warning and a call to action for those seeking to challenge President Tinubu's re-election.
