Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder and head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Oke Afa, Lagos, has warned President Bola Tinubu that documents allegedly held by the American government concerning his past could end his bid for a second term in the 2027 general elections. In a statement released on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, through his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, and sent to Legit.ng, Ayodele urged the president to take urgent and serious action, noting that the potential release of these records could trigger an interim government in Nigeria.
Alleged US Documents and Tinubu's Re-election Plans
According to Ayodele, the documents in question reportedly concern any criminal record of Tinubu's past and are part of ongoing court proceedings in the United States. The cleric warned that the president may not fully grasp the gravity of the situation, partly because those advising him on the matter are reportedly not being entirely forthcoming.
"If those documents come out, it will end Tinubu's second term because the power behind it is heavy. Tinubu is just playing around it; people working to stop it are only deceiving him," Ayodele said.
America as a Key Challenge for the President
The cleric described the United States as one of Tinubu's most significant challenges at this time, saying Washington holds the power to act whenever it chooses. According to Ayodele, there are active plans to release the documents, and only decisive action by the president could prevent that from happening.
"If America is ready, they will release it, and that's why I said America is one of Tinubu's problems. The documents are there, and there are plans to release it," he said.
The documents are reportedly linked to legal proceedings in the US, with former Vice President and opposition figure Abubakar Atiku among those pushing for their disclosure.
Interim Government Warning and Political Impact
Primate Ayodele went further, saying that should the documents become public, the consequences for Nigeria's political landscape could be severe, including the possibility of an interim government before the 2027 general elections. He warned: "If this document comes out, an interim government is imminent, and there will be a serious effect on the election."
The prophet stated that President Tinubu must go beyond his current approach and take extra steps to ensure the records remain sealed, cautioning that the forces working to get them out are well-organised and determined.
In related news, Legit.ng earlier reported that Prophet Samuel Issa claimed President Tinubu will win re-election in 2027, saying he received a divine vision of the outcome of Nigeria's next presidential contest. Issa shared the claim in a Facebook post titled '2027 Presidential Election Prophecy', saying he saw Tinubu emerge victorious at the polls and return to Aso Villa for a second term.
