2027: Tinubu Won’t Finish If Re-Elected, Shettima Will Take Over — Primate Ayodele

Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder and leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will not complete a second term if he wins the 2027 presidential election, saying Vice President Kashim Shettima could take over.

Ayodele made the prediction in a video posted on Tuesday, claiming that Tinubu’s health could prevent him from completing another term in office if re-elected.

He compared the situation to that of former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who died in office in 2010, saying a similar development could result in Shettima taking over the presidency.

“If Tinubu wins the second time, he will not finish it. I stand by my word, he will not finish it. What happened to Yar’Adua or whatever that will make him not to finish it that will lead to emergency government, make Shettima take over from him might happen,” Ayodele said.

“Tinubu will not finish his second term, thus says the Lord of hosts,” he added.

Ayodele also claimed that he had been denied access to the President by people around Tinubu whom he accused of preventing the President from hearing what he described as the truth.

“People surrounding Tinubu don’t want him to hear the truth. They don’t want him to hear people like us. I don’t say prophets should not go again. Let them bring one billion alfas. It is a matter of time. You will all see it,” he said.

The cleric further urged members of Tinubu’s family to pray for the President, claiming that he was not in good health.

“You are not seeing what I am seeing. Tinubu is not OK. He needs prayers. Wife, children of Tinubu, wake up. Seyi! Help Tinubu. Don’t let your father die,” Ayodele said.

The health claims made by Ayodele were not independently verified. His comments constitute a prediction and should not be treated as a medical assessment.

Bayo Onanuga and Daniel Bwala, spokespersons for the President, could not be immediately reached for comment.
