Primate Ayodele Warns Atiku of Alleged Assassination Plot
By KEMI KASUMU
The cleric raised concerns about Atiku’s personal safety, urging him to take his security seriously, particularly while travelling.
Founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned former Vice-President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) 2027 presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, about an alleged plot to assassinate him.
The cleric raised concerns about Atiku’s personal safety, urging him to take his security seriously, particularly while travelling.
In a post shared on X on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Ayodele specifically warned the former vice-president about possible threats involving air transportation, alleging that an attempt could be made to harm him through an aviation-related incident.
He said: “They want to execute you; protect yourself with bulletproof and be watchful while using flight to avoid a technical emergency landing.”
The cleric also spoke about the political challenges Atiku could face ahead of the 2027 presidential election, claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, were prepared for the political contest.
“Tinubu is ready for the game, and Obi is ready to embarrass you,” he stated.
Ayodele has made several predictions concerning Nigeria’s political future. In September, he reportedly warned that Tinubu might not complete a possible second term if re-elected in 2027.
Drawing a comparison with former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who died while in office, the cleric suggested that a similar development could trigger an emergency political arrangement, potentially paving the way for Vice-President Kashim Shettima to assume leadership.
He also alleged that some individuals within Tinubu’s inner circle were shielding the President from the truth.
Ayodele maintained that his prediction was genuine and should not be interpreted as a curse.
He concluded by appealing to Atiku to remain security-conscious, protect himself and pay close attention to his movements.
