FCT, Abuja - As Nigerians look forward to the 2027 election, Primate Elijah Ayodele has said President Bola Tinubu is the one citizens should vote for in the 2027 election.

Speaking in a recently-published interview with The Nigerian Tribune, Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, stated that his assertion may appear "surprising".

The Lagos-based cleric warned that if Nigerians vote for Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate, "tragedy will strike this nation", adding that "if they vote for Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria will collapse."

Asked who Nigerians should vote for in the 2027 election, Primate Ayodele replied:

"Let me be clear: if Nigerians vote for Peter Obi, tragedy will strike this nation. If they vote for Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria will collapse. As surprising as it may seem, Tinubu — the same Tinubu — is the one to vote for. That’s the truth."

Legit.ng reports that Tinubu, an influential chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), won the 2023 presidential election after the opposition was split between Obi's Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Atiku is a member of the PDP. The 78-year-old has contested unsuccessfully for the presidency six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.

Speculations are rife that the LP, PDP, and other opposition parties could form a coalition in 2027 to challenge Tinubu, who is expected to seek a second term. However, Obi particularly has been coy about the details.

On Monday, May 19, the ex-Anambra governor said he is focused on the fight against alleged bad governance, hunger, and poverty—not personal political ambition.

Speaking at an event in Kubwa, Abuja, where he donated to a school and hospital project organised by the Anglican Church, Obi neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such an agreement. Instead, he emphasised his commitment to the coalition’s mission.

Elections are often marred by violence in Nigeria, with several people losing their lives since the country's return to democracy in 1999.
