Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has sparked reactions on social media after issuing a warning to former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Primate Ayodele warned Jonathan to be careful, alleging that two people, “Abdul and Samson Ogedenge” are plotting against him.

The cleric further warned the former president not to contest in the 2027 presidential election, saying clearly that he would not win. He stated that Jonathan should resist the urge to run for office again.
“Atiku, don’t let Jonathan kill your vision”
Speaking further, Primate Ayodele advised Atiku Abubakar not to allow Jonathan to destroy his political dream — a statement that many social media users found confusing.
In his words: “Jonathan, don’t contest. You will not win. Atiku, don’t let Jonathan kill your vision.”
Nigerians react on social media
The video has triggered numerous reactions on X, as users expressed mixed opinions about the prophecy.
TheRealPee wrote: “You see these people who call themselves men of God, ba? They’re devilish. Of all the killings that’s happening in the country, the hardship, the poor infrastructure, poor medical facilities, these clowns don’t say anything about those. Nigeria clergy are now becoming our enemy, and it’s high time we call their bluff.”
Ben Samuel said: “Isn’t better to stay at home and watch Arise News on TV than go to church and listen to this rubbish all the time. I feel for the gullible congregation listening to politicians on the altar. This is NOT the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
ChrisBen wrote: “Nah once you go know say this man is speaking through APC and Tinubu! They know how much less of chance Atiku has if he dares contest, so they ard using men like this to tell him to contest, which yeye vision, they know if PO step aside for GEJ Tinubu will likely loose!
“Or if they all choose to back PO, Tinubu will loose before 12:00 PM.. So its simple, put scatter scatter in any coalation by asking men like this to speak nonesense.”
