2027: Primate Ayodele Gives Three Scenarios That Could Affect Tinubu’s Re-Election Bid

The Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Tinubu about possible challenges in his bid for re-election in 2027, predicting that the president could lose if the contest proceeds to a runoff.

According to a report by Leadership Newspaper, Ayodele made the prediction in a video circulating on social media, where he outlined three possible scenarios that could affect the presidential election.

The cleric identified a runoff election, the possible declaration of a state of emergency that could disrupt the electoral process, and the need for prayers as developments that could shape the political contest.

He specifically warned Tinubu that proceeding to a second round of voting could work against his ambition to secure another term in office.

“I want to tell Tinubu straight; If this election goes to runoff, sincerely, you will not win,” Ayodele said.

He further suggested that the election could face disruptions that might prevent the announcement of a final result, raising concerns about the potential consequences of such a development.

Ayodele also urged Tinubu and members of his family to seek prayers, warning that the president’s determination to secure a second term could be accompanied by serious consequences.

“If Tinubu enforces himself to go for second term, I don’t know what will happen; I’m not in the hand of that government,” the cleric said.

He added that casualties could occur and suggested that Vice-President Kashim Shettima might not be allowed to remain in his current position.

Despite his warnings about Tinubu’s re-election prospects, Ayodele stated that the president could still defeat former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

The cleric, however, argued that Atiku’s own decisions could weaken his chances of emerging victorious in the 2027 presidential election.

“Tinubu can still defeat Atiku,” Ayodele said, while suggesting that the former vice-president had some chances but might fail to recognise the challenges ahead.

He cautioned Atiku against actions that could undermine his political ambition, claiming that the former presidential candidate could become responsible for his own setbacks.

“Protocol will kill Atiku; Careful, Atiku will kill Atiku,” Ayodele warned.

He further claimed that although Atiku had divine favour, the former vice-president was not taking the necessary steps to secure his political future.

The cleric also expressed concern about the potential impact of the election on Nigeria, warning that the country could bear the consequences of developments arising from the contest.

According to him, the political situation requires caution to prevent the country from experiencing further difficulties.

Ayodele concluded by warning Tinubu to consider the possible consequences of his political decisions, referring to what he described as revenge or nemesis.
