  "account": "Primate Ayodele, the Spiritual Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has revealed that a spiritual movement called \"Bamayi\" is being organized to remove President Bola Tinubu from power. The chant \"Bamayi\" is not merely a phrase, but a deliberate effort to oust Tinubu from office. This was disclosed after Tinubu was booed by a group of youths at the Shehu Shagari Central Mosque in Abuja while observing Juma prayers. The youths chanted \"ba ma so,\" meaning \"we don't want,\" in Hausa.\n\nPrimate Ayodele warned that the Bamayi movement is gaining traction in northern Nigeria, where people are dissatisfied with Tinubu's administration. If Tinubu travels to the North for his campaign, the situation could worsen as the people are not content with the government. He stated that the masses in the North are no longer following their leaders and are clamoring for a new government, which is why the chant is spreading rapidly in the region.\n\nThe cleric emphasized that the ruling party has failed to grasp the essence of the Bamayi movement, warning that it could also target some governors, senators, and members of the House of Representatives. He cautioned that unless Tinubu discovers the source of the movement, it will be challenging to stop. According to Primate Ayodele, the Bamayi movement is the antithesis of \"emilokan,\" and it is crucial not to take it lightly. He forewarned that there will be significant rejection before and during the election, possibly leading to some candidates being barred from voting.",
