Primate Ayodele Reveals What Could Make It Very Difficult for Tinubu to Win the 2027 Election

According to a report by Primate Elijah Ayodele in a message shared on November 10, 2026, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has issued a fresh warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

In a message directed at APC governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives and other party members, the cleric warned that Tinubu could face serious difficulties if the 2027 presidential election proceeds to a runoff.

Ayodele said it would take God’s grace to prevent the election from going into a second round, warning that such an outcome could make it considerably harder for the president to secure victory.

He said: “This is an important warning to all APC governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives and other APC members. It is only by God’s grace that the 2027 election will not go to a runoff. And if it does, it will be very difficult for Tinubu to win.”

The warning places the possibility of a runoff at the centre of Ayodele’s latest message to the ruling party. He appears to be urging APC leaders not to take the president’s chances of securing another term for granted, particularly if the election produces no outright winner in the first round.

This is not the first time the cleric has raised concerns about Tinubu’s prospects in a possible runoff. In an earlier report published by Leadership, Ayodele was quoted as saying that Tinubu could lose if the presidential election went into a second round. He also outlined other possible scenarios, including a disruption of the electoral process and the possibility of a state of emergency.
