On Sunday, May 5, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be strategic about his approach to the Northern part of the country as they won’t support his second term ambition.
Primate Ayodele claimed there would be a series of gang-ups against President Tinubu in the North and that some people close to him would betray him.
In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele said leaders in the zone would conspire and all Tinubu’s efforts would not be seen as anything.
‘’Tinubu will still have a lot of problems ahead of 2027 because the northerners will gang-up against him. Some who are closer to Tinubu will betray him.
“Despite all that he will be doing, there is going to be an aggressive conspiracy from some of the northern leaders against him. He will try his best but it won’t be seen as anything,”
he said.
The prophet revealed that the president and his Vice, Kashim Shettima will have a lukewarm relationship due to the issues that will arise from the north.
He warned of a serious political setback and tension towards the second term bid of the present administration.
‘’Shettima and Tinubu will have a lukewarm relationship due to the issues that will arise from the north.
“The northerners will work against Shettima and rivals will rise up against him.
“The president has to be tactical about the northerners, otherwise, he will face a lot of setback and political tension towards his second term,”
he further stated.
Continuing, Primate Ayodele asserted that the north will not experience any significant development because there will still be insecurity till 2030, poor infrastructure and education in the zone.
‘’I don’t see an end to insecurity in the north till about 2030 because it is within them, there is going to be mismanagement of development.
“Tinubu should watch his back; the northerners will become his enemies and let’s also be careful so we won’t experience Yoruba, Fulani-Kanuri crisis in the country.’
‘’There is no blueprint for northern development in this government because the northerners have worked against it.
“The north will continue to face insecurity, poor infrastructure, education and they will be divided,”
he added.
