Be watchful when flying; they want to execute you, Primate Ayodele warns Atiku

The cleric advised Mr Abubakar to seek protection, remain vigilant, and be more conscious of his movements.

• November 2, 2026

The founder and spiritual leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a fresh warning to the African Democratic Congress’ presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over an alleged plot against his life.

In a prophecy shared via X on Sunday, the cleric claimed that there were plans to harm the ADC presidential candidate and advised him to prioritise his personal security.

Mr Ayodele also warned Mr Abubakar to be extra cautious when travelling by air, saying he foresees an aviation-related scare involving an emergency landing.

According to the cleric, President Bola Tinubu and former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, are both politically prepared to take on Mr Abubakar ahead of the 2027 political contest.

“They want to execute you; protect yourself with bulletproof and be watchful while using flight to avoid a technical emergency landing,” Mr Ayodele said. “Tinubu is ready for the game, and Obi is ready to embarrass you.”

In September, Mr Ayodele predicted that Mr Tinubu might end up like former President Musa Yar’Adua, who died in office, if he wins re-election in 2027.

“If Tinubu wins the second time, he will not finish it. I stand by my word, he will not finish it. What happened to Yar’Adua or whatever that will make him not to finish it will lead to an emergency government; making Shettima take over from him might happen,” he said.

“People surrounding Tinubu don’t want him to hear the truth. They don’t want him to hear people like us. I don’t say prophets should not go again. Let them bring one billion alfas. It is a matter of time. You will all see it. If Tinubu wins a second term, he will not finish it. It is not a curse,” he added.

The cleric advised Mr Abubakar to seek protection, remain vigilant, and be more conscious of his movements. 

Mr Ayodele is known for his yearly prophecies on politics, security and global affairs.
