Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has stated that Peter Obi will not be able to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. According to him, only former Senate President Bukola Saraki and former President Goodluck Jonathan have the capacity to challenge Tinubu, but both are reluctant to do so.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos, the cleric emphasized that Obi's chances of winning are slim unless he forms a strong political alliance. He also noted that Jonathan lacks the political stamina to contest, making it unlikely for him to enter the race.
Primate Ayodele, known for his political prophecies, has been vocal about Nigeria's political landscape. In his latest statement, he warned that the 2027 election would present significant challenges for opposition parties, urging them to unite early if they want to stand a chance.
He also predicted that the political climate in Nigeria would shift before the next election, advising opposition leaders to prepare strategically. According to him, failure to form a coalition would only strengthen Tinubu's chances of re-election.
"Why is Saraki afraid? Without coalition, Obi can't win. Jonathan is afraid, he doesn't have the stamina," he remarked.
His comments have sparked discussions among political observers, with many considering the impact of coalition politics on Nigeria's future elections. As 2027 approaches, the dynamics within opposition parties may determine whether a formidable challenge to Tinubu's presidency can emerge.
