Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has revealed that the former vice president of Nigeria, Abubakar Atiku, will be asked to step down for former president Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele revealed that the international communities, including the African Union, European Union, United States of America, in conjunction with some local actors like TY Danjuma, Abubakar Abdulsalam, and Olusegun Obasanjo, will be behind the move.

The cleric revealed that Goodluck Jonathan will be made to join the coalition against the current administration, explaining that he will be used against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and that the aim is for him to serve for one term.

“I see that the AU, UK, USA, EU and some local actors like TY Danjuma, Abubakar Abdulsalam, Obasanjo, will ask Atiku to step down for Jonathan ahead of the 2027 presidential election, even in the coalition.

“They will compel Jonathan to join the coalition and ensure he gets the ticket to contest against Tinubu in 2027. It will be a difficult move, but I see it being planned already.

“The meeting started late December, but Tinubu doesn’t know what they are planning against him.”

The prophet further reiterated his prophecy about the US President ‘caging’ Tinubu’s government because Trump’s plan is to unseat the president.

“As I said, the US will be Tinubu’s greatest opposition. Trump’s wish is to see Tinubu out of the seat, except that the president makes a very bold political move. The international community will be involved in our election, and we have to be careful about it,” he added.
