Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, makes a new set of claims about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during a Sunday service. Both outlets report that Ayodele prophesies that Tinubu is operating under a spiritual spell. He says Tinubu’s “eyes” are spiritually covered, which he links to the president rejecting sound advice and distancing himself from well-meaning people.
Ayodele also warns that people around the president are not acting in Tinubu’s best interest. He alleges that advisers who urge the “right thing” are ignored or pushed away, while those with ulterior motives influence decisions. In his remarks, he cautions that Tinubu’s inability to heed good counsel could lead to negative consequences.
The reports present Ayodele’s statements as religious prophecy made to his congregation. No independent verification or response from the presidency is included in the accounts summarized here.
