In a statement released through his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele forewarned Tinubu of significant challenges he may encounter in garnering support from the Northern region of the country for his presidential ambitions.
According to the spiritual leader, a series of coordinated oppositions will arise against Tinubu in the North, with certain individuals close to him ultimately betraying his trust. Despite Tinubu’s efforts, Ayodele suggests that these machinations will diminish his prospects in the region.
Additionally, Ayodele predicts strained relations between Tinubu and potential political ally Kashim Shettima, as tensions escalate within the North. This, he suggests, could lead to significant setbacks for Tinubu’s political ambitions.
In a broader context, Primate Ayodele paints a grim picture of the future of the Northern region, forecasting persistent insecurity, inadequate infrastructure, and educational deficiencies until at least 2030. He warns of potential ethnic tensions, urging vigilance to prevent the escalation of conflicts between different ethnic groups.
Ayodele’s warnings come amidst heightened political activities in Nigeria, particularly as politicians position themselves ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. As Tinubu navigates this complex political landscape, Ayodele’s insights serve as a cautionary tale, advising strategic maneuvering to overcome potential obstacles in his path to the presidency.
