Primate Ayodele Predicts Trump’s Election Defeat, Warns of African-Style Politics in U.S
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has made bold predictions regarding the future of U.S. politics, particularly about former President Donald Trump’s chances in the upcoming election.
Speaking on Sunday, the prophet warned that Trump would face defeat if the election were held today.
In a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele emphasized that the next American election would be unusually tough, signalling a shift in how the political game is played.
According to him, tactics commonly associated with African politics, such as vote-buying and intimidation, would emerge during the U.S. electoral process, causing it to take on a new dimension.
“The American election will be very challenging and will see a new style of politics.
We will witness practices like vote-buying and intimidation, much like what we see in African elections.
These are things that have not been part of U.S. politics but will start to surface,” he remarked.
Ayodele also had surprising words for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, predicting that she would shock the world with policies that could surpass those of Donald Trump.
He highlighted that her leadership would bring a fresh perspective and potentially outperform Trump’s approach.
“If Kamala Harris rises in the political arena, she will surprise many.
Her policies will be more beneficial than Trump’s,” Ayodele noted.
On the topic of a possible Trump victory, the prophet did not mince words, warning that it could spell disaster for the world.
He added that Trump, if defeated, might resort to stirring unrest and attempting to provoke protests against the ruling party, urging caution to prevent such outcomes.
“Should Trump win, it will be disastrous for the world. If the election were to happen today, he would lose.
If he faces defeat, Trump might attempt to incite protests and create instability.
He must be cautious about the direction he takes,” Ayodele advised.
These predictions have sparked interest as the world watches the unfolding of the next U.S. election, with many curious about whether Ayodele’s insights will come to pass.
The forecast of African-style political tactics in America has especially raised eyebrows, suggesting the possibility of a dramatic shift in U.S. electoral culture.
