The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said that the 2027 presidency is in the hands of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, Primate Ayodele, however, said that a lot of circumstances will stop Atiku if he continues to play gentlemanly politics, noting that President Bola Tinubu is a very desperate politician.

The cleric further stated that the Northerners are not ready to vote for Tinubu, stressing that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will do a lot of reconciliation to persuade the northerners.

According to him, the Northerners are coming together to vote for Atiku.

He said, “The Presidency is in Atiku’s hand but a lot of circumstances will stop him if he continues to play gentlemanly politics because Tinubu is very desperate. Desperate than Peter Obi, Nigerians and even the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

So, if somebody is more desperate than the INEC, more desperate than Nigeria, I don’t know but let’s watch. But Tinubu must seriously work on his health for God to help him.

“Health-wise, Tinubu is not okay. The family needs to take care of him. Let’s leave it that way, but that’s just the fact.

“The Northerners are not ready to vote for Tinubu. APC will do a lot of reconciliation to persuade the northerners but the Northerners are coming together to vote for Atiku.”
