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.
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.
