The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a chilling warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declaring that a second-term victory in 2027 could trigger an attempted coup to oust him from power.
Primate Ayodele made the revelation during the public presentation of his annual prophecy book, Warnings to the Nations (2025/2026), held on Saturday, July 5, 2025.
According to the cleric, certain high-ranking military officers may be bribed to destabilize Tinubu’s administration if he secures a second term, as powerful forces within and outside government are allegedly plotting to ensure his removal.
“Some army officers will be paid to arrange how to interfere in Tinubu’s government,” Ayodele warned. “If he eventually wins the second term, they will use everything to take him out of power, including an attempted coup.”
He further advised the president to take urgent steps to review his security architecture, stressing that those closest to him may not be trustworthy.
“I see an attempt to take power from him in an unconstitutional manner,” Ayodele continued. “So, God warns him to take his personal safety very seriously. What I saw was a coup-like situation, and tension everywhere.”
Delving into President Tinubu’s spiritual identity, the outspoken cleric described him as a deeply mysterious figure, even comparing him to past Nigerian leaders.
“He is not an ordinary being; he is like a poison that you can’t eat and get away with alive,” Ayodele said. “He is more spiritual than Obasanjo and others, but many politicians don’t understand these mysteries about him.”
Primate Ayodele is known for his controversial prophecies and spiritual warnings to global and national leaders.
