LAGOS — The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a scathing prophecy and political warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, asserting that the administration’s aversion to candid counsel and structural truth will undermine its performance and lead to defeat in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during his latest prophetic address on national issues and government policy, the outspoken cleric declared that the president’s inner circle continues to shield him from the harsh economic reality facing ordinary Nigerians.

“He Hates Being Told the Truth” — Cleric Warns of 2027 Defeat

Primate Ayodele expressed deep concern over the direction of the country, arguing that leadership failure stems from bad advisors and an intolerance for genuine feedback:

“Tinubu hates being told the truth; that’s why he’s failing, and he will lose in 2027 if he continues on this path. The people around him are lying to him while Nigerians suffer under harsh economic policies.”
