Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has denied saying that President Bola Tinubu will never win a second term in 2027.
Primate Ayodele described the reports as the handiwork of mischief makers and political actors who quoted him out of context.
He was reacting to some tweets on X that said: “If Peter Obi becomes president, war and tragedy will befall Nigeria. Tinubu is the best candidate, but he may not win.”
Condemning the reports, Primate Ayodele recalled a recent interview, where he said Tinubu is the only candidate to vote for if Peter Obi and Abubakar Atiku become the opposition candidates.
He further recalled saying Atiku and Obi will not be able to rule Nigeria better than Tinubu.
However, a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, said the popular prophet tagged such headlines as political propaganda by politicians.
Primate Ayodele described his comments as warnings to Tinubu ahead of the 2027 and not a declaration as reported.
He said: “It’s a common fact that my prophecies get twisted for selfish interest among political actors. I just want to advise everyone not to say what I didn’t say. I never said Tinubu will not win, I will not change what I said, but when you don’t understand my words, seek clarification and don’t see the anger of God.
“Everything I see on Twitter about Tinubu isn’t true, I only warned Tinubu about three people that can affect his second term ambition and three things he needs to do. I know some of you might have been paid by your paymasters but you shouldn’t misquote my statements.”
Primate Ayodele also denied mentioning that Nigeria would go to war if Peter Obi becomes President.
He charged Nigerians to disregard such reports because they never emanated from him.
