Primate Elijah Ayodele, Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is making every possible effort to secure a second term in office, describing him as “extraordinarily desperate” for re-election.
Speaking during a recent prophetic message on Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections, Ayodele said, “Tinubu is extraordinary desperate, spiritually, economically, physically to have re-election.”
The cleric alleged that the President has intensified political consultations and strategic moves aimed at consolidating support across the country as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum. He further claimed that Tinubu’s determination to retain power extends beyond conventional politics, alleging that the administration would continue pursuing alliances and policies to strengthen its electoral prospects.
Ayodele urged political leaders to prioritise national interest over personal ambition, arguing that Nigeria’s economic and security challenges require urgent attention. He also advised opposition parties to remain united if they intend to mount a serious challenge against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that internal divisions could weaken their electoral chances.
He further called on Nigerians to pray for peace and stability throughout the electioneering period, saying the country’s political activities would intensify as the 2027 general elections draw closer.
Ayodele, who is known for making prophecies on political developments, said his remarks reflected his assessment of the political climate. His claims remain his personal views and have not been independently verified.
President Tinubu has consistently stated that his administration is focused on implementing economic reforms, improving infrastructure, tackling insecurity and expanding opportunities for Nigerians. He has not publicly responded to Ayodele’s latest remarks.
