'Some APC govs, cabinet members will work with Atiku' – Primate Ayodele warns Tinubu

INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church leader Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned President Bola Tinubu against betrayals from some of his cabinet members and fellow governors within the ruling party. Ayodele revealed that certain governors in the party are planning to collaborate with former Vice President Atiku for the 2027 presidential election and that some cabinet members will also join Atiku.

He stated, "Atiku is planning seriously with the support of America to get victory. He will do a lot of things, and Tinubu shouldn’t be surprised that some governors he believes will work with Atiku secretly. Some members of his cabinet will work with Atiku secretly."

Primate Ayodele also expressed concerns over the credibility of the upcoming election, stating INEC is not prepared for a fair poll. He warned the election could be marred by violence and disappointment, adding, "The day isn’t yet properly in order for an election that will bring a right president. There will be serious violence and inconclusive results in some states.

The date isn’t too certain and there will be consequences if it is done. There will be fake ballot papers, and rigging will be the order of the day. INEC will also play their own part."

Ayodele urged President Tinubu to address the nation's economic issues urgently, as the current hardship and unsustainable strategies could lead to significant inflation and discontent among citizens. He added, "Tinubu cannot do this alone; his ministers ought to do something about it, and I see inflation will start rising significantly, and people will not be happy with this. Tinubu should quickly do something about it. They may feel it is not necessary but time will tell."
