Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder and leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, says President Bola Tinubu is sick and will not be able to complete a second term if he wins the 2027 presidential election.

In a video posted on Tuesday, Mr Ayodele predicted that Mr Tinubu might end up like ex-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 that will lead to emergency government, make Shettima take over from him might happen,” Mr Ayodele said. “Tinubu will not finish his second term, thus says the Lord of hosts.”

Mr Ayodele claimed he was denied access to Tinubu by those Mr Tinubu surrounded himself with, those who do not want him to hear the truth.

“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,” the INRI spiritual leader declared.

The cleric called on the president’s family to rally prayers and not let Mr Tinubu die.

“You are not seeing what I am seeing. Tinubu is not OK. He needs prayers. Wife, children of Tinubu, wake up. Seyi! Help Tinubu. Don’t let your father die,” Mr Ayodele said.

Bayo Onanuga and Daniel Bwala, spokespersons for Mr Tinubu, could not be immediately reached for comment.
