As the 2027 general elections draw closer, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has released a new wave of prophecies warning of political turbulence, heightened insecurity, and divine revelations that could reshape Nigeria’s future.
In an exclusive interview with Sunday Tribune, the renowned cleric, known for past predictions that have reportedly come to pass, declared that President Bola Tinubu’s return in 2027 is far from guaranteed. According to Ayodele, God has revealed three individuals who, if they enter the presidential race, could end Tinubu’s political reign.
“I will not mention their names now,” Ayodele said. “But when the time comes, I’ll point them out boldly. If any one of them contests, Tinubu will not return.”
While warning against electing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or Labour Party’s Peter Obi — saying both would lead Nigeria to “tragedy” or “collapse” — Ayodele surprisingly stated that Tinubu remains the best option under current circumstances. However, he insisted that Tinubu’s future depends on critical decisions and divine alignment.
SECURITY WARNING AND PRESIDENCY ALERT
Ayodele issued a serious security warning, claiming President Tinubu’s safety has been compromised. He specifically mentioned a threat of poisoning within the Presidential Villa and called for heightened protection for First Lady Remi Tinubu.
“There is a poisoning threat. The cooks must be changed. A gunshot incident may even occur inside the Villa if care is not taken,” he warned.
He also urged the replacement of the Inspector General of Police, stating that the country’s current security architecture is vulnerable to escalating threats, including the emergence of a new terrorist group.
STATE-BY-STATE POLITICAL FORECAST
The cleric offered extensive insight into state-level political dynamics. In Rivers State, he confirmed that Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s feud with his predecessor Nyesom Wike was divinely foretold. He also predicted turbulence in states such as Imo, Delta, Abia, Oyo, and Adamawa.
In Delta, he forecast political cracks within the APC and warned of a potential bombing attempt. In Oyo, he spoke of religious tensions and the rising influence of political blocs from the Oke-Ogun region.
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK
Ayodele prophesied future international tensions, including a warning against allowing France to set up a military base in Nigeria — an act he believes would bring “disaster.” He also forecast major natural disasters such as flooding across multiple Nigerian states and predicted temporary telecom shutdowns affecting Glo, MTN, and Airtel.
On the global stage, he reiterated earlier warnings about political developments in the U.S., Ghana, and other African nations, noting that many of his previous prophecies have already come true.
HEALTH WARNINGS AND PUBLIC FIGURES
The spiritual leader also called for prayers for several notable personalities, including former Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, and Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. He warned of potential health scares and advised caution for judges and politicians alike.
Despite the ominous tone of many of his predictions, Primate Ayodele expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, saying the country would eventually see a revival in oil wealth, global respect for its passport, and even a national rebranding symbolized by a change in its flag.
“Nigeria has a great future,” he declared. “But only if her leaders heed the signs.”
