Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a dramatic warning to the All Progressives Congress (APC), predicting that a powerful political figure — described as a “giant” — could emerge to dominate Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during a fresh prophetic declaration streamed live on the church’s verified Facebook page in Lagos, Ayodele said the ruling party risks losing its grip on power if this “giant” is allowed to contest.
According to him, the mystery figure possesses unmatched political influence, deep public trust, and overwhelming grassroots support — factors that would make any challenge from President Bola Tinubu or his allies “futile.”

“If they allow this giant to come out, one billion of Tinubu cannot defeat this person,” Ayodele declared. “They will just get tired of APC. They cannot fight this noise because it’s an authority.”
The cleric, known for his bold and often controversial political prophecies, accused the APC of complacency, warning that internal divisions and a slow response to shifting political currents could pave the way for a major upset in 2027.
“They are still sleeping now. They have not woken up yet. By the time they wake up, time has gone,” he cautioned.
While he did not reveal the identity of the “giant,” Ayodele hinted at a figure with moral authority and political capital that transcends party lines — someone capable of rallying Nigerians from across the political spectrum and shaking the foundations of existing political structures.
“This is not an ordinary politician,” he stressed. “When they step out, the kind of support they will receive will shake every existing political structure.”
Political watchers say the prophecy could further fuel speculation about potential heavyweight candidates who might disrupt Nigeria’s two-party dominance. The remarks come as political calculations for 2027 begin to take shape, with talks of new alliances, breakaway factions, and possible third-force movements gaining momentum.
Ayodele concluded that his prophecy was less about partisan politics and more about a shift in the nation’s political mood, warning that Nigerians’ growing frustration with the status quo could override party loyalty.
“The people are tired,” he said. “They are not looking at party labels anymore. They are looking for someone who will speak their language, address their pain, and restore their hope.”
The cleric’s message adds to the rising political temperature as Nigeria edges closer to a pivotal election season that could redefine the country’s leadership landscape.
