Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, has released a prophecy claiming that the 2027 presidential election will be a contest between President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The revelation is contained in his newly released prophecy book, Warnings To The Nations 2026/2027 Edition, launched on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Oke Afa, Lagos state.
Main Contestants and Regional Dynamics
According to the 405-page compendium, Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), will be robbed in some parts of the country. Primate Ayodele stated that the main battle will be between President Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku, candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
On page 16 of the prophecy book, Ayodele outlined the prospects of the three leading candidates across different regions. He said: “I foresee Peter Obi will be struggling in the North, but it is doubtful if he can make it there. Tinubu will be struggling seriously in the North. Atiku Abubakar will not struggle in the North, but he will use influence and the emirs and the International Community and some old politicians.”
Northern Influence and Arewa Division
Ayodele noted that the Arewa Forum will be divided because of Tinubu. He added: “Atiku will get 25% in the southwest and the southeast. Tinubu will get 25% in the southwest and the southeast. Tinubu will engage in extensive political propaganda to remain stable and balanced in the North.”
He emphasised that northerners will determine the election outcome: “Tinubu needs the attention of the northern states. Atiku needs the attention of the North. Obi needs the North's attention to make headway. The northerners will determine who wins this election.”
Kano State and Obi's Robbery Prediction
Speaking specifically about Kano state, the cleric said none of the candidates would secure an outright victory there. Despite Obi having a running mate with a strong political base in Kano (Rabiu Kwankwaso), Ayodele claimed Obi “would still be robbed.” He stated: “Nobody will get 100% in Kano. Anybody who wins Kano will have a slim victory, but Obi will be robbed in Kano. Tinubu and Atiku will be fighting; it will be a battleground for them. Abuja will be a battleground for the three Presidential candidates.”
Additional Warnings on Appointees
Beyond the election predictions, Ayodele issued a warning to Bashir Adeniyi, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and Nwakuche Ndidi, Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS). He cautioned that both appointees could be removed if not careful, claiming they have been earmarked for dismissal by President Tinubu before the end of the current administration.
The prophecy book is available for free download and contains several other warnings and forecasts on national and global issues. Readers are encouraged to form their own conclusions regarding these prophetic claims.
