The spiritual head of the INRI Evangelical Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has predicted that Atiku Abubakar will be picked as the candidate of the anti-President Bola Tinubu coalition. The Lagos-based cleric said this recently in a video posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
Ayodele ruled out the possibility of coalition members like Rotimi Amaechi and Nasir El-Rufai emerging as the group’s presidential candidate with respect to the 2027 election.
He said: “The coalition people are going to pick Atiku. Atiku is their candidate, not even El-Rufai, not even Amaechi or whoever. No.
But there is a clause.” Primate Ayodele added: “It is not fully guaranteed that the ruling party (the All Progressives Congress, APC) can win. If they do not obey (my words), they can lose.”
