Nigerian spiritual leader Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele has made startling claims about the true motivation behind United States President Donald Trump's recent military threats against Nigeria. The prominent cleric alleges that Washington's expressed concern about Christian persecution serves as a cover for a deeper political agenda targeting President Bola Tinubu's administration.
US Threats and Nigeria's Designation
The controversy erupted when President Donald Trump designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC), accusing the Federal Government of supporting persecution against Christians. The US leader followed this designation with concrete actions, including suspending arms sales and technical support to Nigeria. Most alarmingly, Trump threatened military action against the West African nation, with reports confirming that the US Africa Command has submitted contingency plans for potential strikes.
Primate Ayodele's Explosive Revelation
In a statement released on Friday, November 7, through his media aide Osho Oluwatosin, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos presented a different perspective on the escalating tension. Primate Ayodele asserted that America's plan to combat alleged Christian genocide is actually a strategy to penetrate the Tinubu government and weaken his potential second term.
The cleric, while acknowledging that President Tinubu is performing well, delivered a stark warning about internal challenges facing the administration. He revealed that American soldiers are already present in Nigeria and urged the government to seek urgent solutions beyond technological approaches.
Divine Solutions and Political Nemesis
Primate Ayodele recalled his earlier prophecies about nemesis fighting Tinubu's government, stating that his predictions have now materialized. He emphasized that Tinubu must work to remove this nemesis through divine intervention rather than relying solely on conventional methods. The spiritual leader cautioned that failure to address this underlying issue could leave the government vulnerable to American attacks.
The prophet didn't mince words about the current situation, stating clearly that Tinubu is reaping what he sowed and that the alleged genocide narrative is being used as a pretext to target his administration. His comments come amid growing international concern about Nigeria's security situation and the US government's increasingly assertive stance.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu has responded to the mounting pressure by vowing that Nigeria's security remains non-negotiable. While acknowledging the country faces genuine terrorism challenges, the Nigerian leader affirmed that the nation will ultimately prevail against these threats.
