Primate Ayodele Says Tinubu Is Still Better Than Atiku, Peter Obi or El-Rufai

The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has dismissed the new political coalition involving Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Aminu Tambuwal, Adewole Adebayo, and others, saying the alliance is off to a bad start and won’t bring any meaningful change to Nigeria.
In a statement shared by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele criticized the group of politicians, claiming none of them have what it takes to fix the country. He said it would be better for President Tinubu to continue in power and correct his own mistakes rather than hand the country over to any of the coalition members.
He said, “Atiku, Obi, Tambuwal, Bala Mohammed, Adebayo Adewole and the rest are not getting it right. If Nigerians vote Obi, the country will remain stagnant. If they vote Atiku, Nigeria is heading to the mortuary. And if El-Rufai takes over, the nation will be buried. These people can’t help Nigeria.”
The prophet also claimed that the PDP has lost its grip and that some of its governors are already aligning with the APC. According to him, states like Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Oyo, and Osun are being negotiated to support the ruling party in the next election. He added that Anambra will also swing toward APC in 2027.
“There’s no such thing as a PDP governors’ forum anymore. Most of the governors are working against the party and more defections are coming. Some will join APC fully before the elections,” he said.
Primate Ayodele also sent a warning to President Tinubu, urging him not to relax ahead of 2027.
He revealed that there are three particular individuals whose involvement in the election could make Tinubu lose. He stressed that unless these three people stay out of the race, Tinubu’s chances would be threatened.
“Tinubu must take some serious steps now. There are three things he must do if he wants to secure victory, and there are three specific people who must not contest. If even one of them joins the coalition, Tinubu will be in trouble,” he added.
