2027: Atiku Is God’s Choice, But Nigerians Will Vote APC — Primate Ayodele In Fresh Prophecy

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has made a fresh prophetic declaration concerning the 2027 presidential election, stating that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is God’s choice but suggesting that Nigerians may still vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The cleric’s declaration highlights the difference between what he describes as God’s preferred candidate and the decision Nigerians may ultimately make at the ballot box.

According to Ayodele, Atiku’s position as God’s choice does not necessarily mean that the former vice-president will emerge victorious in the 2027 presidential election, as the electorate could decide to return the APC to power.

The prophecy comes as political parties and prominent politicians begin preparations for the next general election, with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expected to face a contest involving opposition figures seeking to end the APC’s hold on the presidency.

Atiku, who was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, remains one of the prominent figures in discussions about the opposition’s strategy for 2027.

The former vice-president has contested the presidency several times and was defeated by Tinubu in the 2023 election; His political future and the possibility of an opposition alliance have continued to feature prominently in conversations about the next presidential contest.

Ayodele’s latest declaration suggests that the outcome of the election may not necessarily reflect what he believes to be God’s preference, as he anticipates that voters could choose the ruling party instead.

The cleric has previously made several predictions concerning the chances of Tinubu, Atiku and other political figures ahead of the 2027 election.

In September 2026, Ayodele called on opposition leaders, including Atiku and Peter Obi, to unite behind a common platform if they hoped to defeat Tinubu; He warned that their individual presidential ambitions could weaken the opposition’s chances of unseating the incumbent president.

He also predicted that the 2027 election could bring significant political setbacks for some prominent politicians and parties.

Earlier in October, Ayodele maintained that Tinubu could still win re-election, while arguing that Atiku needed to adopt a more strategic approach to the contest.

However, the 2027 presidential election has not yet taken place, and the eventual outcome will depend on the electoral process and the votes cast by Nigerians.

Ayodele’s declaration remains a religious prediction rather than an established outcome, as political parties continue to position themselves for what is expected to be a closely watched presidential contest.
