Oyo Group Accuses Primate Ayodele of Using Prophecies to Manipulate Politicians for Money
The Oyo State Voluntary Campaigners (OSVC) have accused Primate Elijah Ayodele of using his so-called prophecies to manipulate politicians for personal financial gain. The group was reacting to Ayodele’s latest prophecy, where he claimed that Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu would not succeed in becoming the Governor of Oyo State in 2027 due to political challenges and rising tension in the state.
According to Ayodele, unrest is building in Oyo, with Muslims preparing for a major political shift and the Oke-Ogun region set to push back against Ibadan’s dominance—making it difficult for Adelabu to win. But OSVC isn’t buying it. In a statement signed by its chairman, Dr. Dele Atiba, the group described the Lagos-based cleric as a spiritual gambler who targets politicians in power with the hope of profiting from them.
They warned that Ayodele’s messages are nothing more than calculated attempts to get the attention of political figures and milk them financially. The group also pointed out inconsistencies in his past prophecies, such as claiming in 2022 that Bola Tinubu would lose the election, only to later endorse him for 2027.
Atiba said if Ayodele continues to spread what they described as blackmail disguised as prophecy, the group would not hesitate to take legal action and expose what they call evidence of manipulation and deceit. He urged the public to be cautious and not fall for what he termed “tricks” disguised as divine messages.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
