Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, has issued a stern warning to Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 election. According to Ayodele, if Obi officially departs from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), he will face political failure and be unable to realize his ambition for the 2027 presidential election.
Ayodele's Prophetic Warning
In a statement released on Sunday, May 3, and signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele cautioned that those advising the former Anambra State governor to leave the ADC could ultimately end his political career. He warned that such a move would mirror the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, where Obi failed to secure victory.
Ayodele stated: "I have warned the opposition that Tinubu is ready for them. They will use spiritual means to scatter them so they won't be united. They will send all sorts of juju after them. If Obi leaves ADC, he will fail. Only united opposition can remove Tinubu; otherwise, they will all fail because they have not seen anything yet, it's just the beginning."
Obi's Political Future
Ayodele further declared that although Obi's movement appears strong, it is not sufficient to take him to the presidential villa. He predicted that the movement would weaken over time. The cleric also dismissed the notion that Obi is Nigeria's messiah, asserting that there are other individuals capable of leading the country effectively.
He added: "They just want to finish Obi's career by dividing him politically. Every political marriage of Obi will always end in divorce. His movement may move, but not into the villa. The noise of the movement will only be weaker because it has been attacked spiritually. Obi isn't the messiah for Nigeria or his people. Someone who can do it better is there. Obi is desperate and stubborn like Tinubu."
Obi's Exit from ADC
On Sunday afternoon, May 3, Obi announced his departure from the ADC, citing internal disputes, court cases, and a toxic political environment. In a statement released via his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi explained that his decision followed deep reflection.
Obi's exit from the ADC comes amid growing political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections. The former governor has been exploring various political alliances to strengthen his bid for the presidency, but Ayodele's prophecy suggests that leaving the ADC could be a critical mistake.
Call for United Opposition
Ayodele emphasized that a united opposition is crucial to counter President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's influence in the 2027 elections. He warned that without unity, the opposition parties would fail to remove Tinubu from power. The cleric's prophecy has sparked debate among political analysts and supporters of Obi.
In a previous prophecy, Ayodele had predicted that Obi would secure 70 percent of the total votes in the 2027 election, but he also foresaw legal challenges that could affect the outcome.
