The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele on Sunday warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be strategic about his approach to the Northern part of the country as they won’t support his second term ambition.
Primate Ayodele claimed there would be a series of gang-ups against President Tinubu in the North and that some people close to him would betray him.
In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele said leaders in the zone would conspire and all Tinubu’s efforts would not be seen as anything.
‘’Tinubu will still have a lot of problems ahead of 2027 because the northerners will gang-up against him. Some who are closer to Tinubu will betray him.
“Despite all that he will be doing, there is going to be an aggressive conspiracy from some of the northern leaders against him. He will try his best but it won’t be seen as anything,” he said.
