According to a report by PM News on Sunday, July 7, 2024, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued stark warnings to key political figures in Nigeria, including President Bola Tinubu and prominent members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
During the launch of his 30th Warning to The Nation in Lagos, Primate Ayodele raised concerns about what he termed a looming political coup against President Tinubu. He highlighted the presence of saboteurs within Tinubu's government, cautioning that these elements could undermine his leadership.
In addition to the warnings directed at President Tinubu, Primate Ayodele also turned his attention to the future of the PDP and its 2023 presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike. He predicted a dire fate for the party, suggesting that internal conflicts and the ambitions of figures like Wike could lead to its demise if not addressed swiftly.
Looking ahead to 2027, Primate Ayodele foresaw turbulent times for Nigerian politics, including economic challenges exacerbated by government borrowing and fiscal mismanagement. He emphasized the urgent need for sustained efforts towards achieving stable electricity, promoting mechanized farming, and addressing the root causes of insecurity.
"Insecurity is man-made," Primate Ayodele asserted, attributing its persistence to entrenched interests within the Nigerian system. He also highlighted the precarious financial situation faced by several state governments, warning of potential collapses due to their inability to meet increased wage demands.
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele pointed out the vulnerability of Nigeria's Senate to manipulation by powerful interests, predicting challenges for figures like Senator Godswill Akpabio due to opposition from entrenched forces within the government.
As he concluded his warnings, Primate Ayodele urged vigilance and proactive measures from leaders across Nigeria's political spectrum. His insights, while speculative, underscore ongoing concerns about governance, economic stability, and the future of political leadership in Nigeria amidst mounting challenges.
