He said:

"It beats me when people feel that President Bola Tinubu is difficult to defeat. I wonder, how, why? I went to Lagos and all I hear is “Ebi n pa everybody” and this echoes in all parts of the country. So where will he get the votes? We are all hungry – from the streets in Lagos to Port Harcourt, Kano, Uyo, and Sokoto. Povert and insecurity occasioned by bad government are devouring the nation. The APC governments have failed woefully. APC as a party is in delusion.
"They will sweep themselves out with their broom or we get the citizens to do so. However, because we want to carry everyone along on our rescue mission, we are building a broad-based coalition, and we are not discriminating against anyone. During our National Convention we shall also adopt our Charter with Nigerians that it is no more business as usual."

Furthermore, the ADC chieftain posited that with the right strategy between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), the People's Redemption Party (PRP), the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and others, APC will become history in 2027.

He said:

"Both old and new, PDP, APC, LP, PRP, and others – all are welcome to the struggle to rescue Nigeria and position it for greatness."

Primate Ayodele's fresh prophecy comes amid a wave of defections from the PDP to the ruling APC—notably from Delta state.

Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, stated that the governor would mismanage the party in the state and that he would fight his predecessor. The cleric added that Oborevwori would clash with the presidency.
