Washington, USA - Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, has alleged that the plan by the United States (US) to combat alleged Christian genocide is a means to "penetrate the Bola Tinubu government."
In a statement on Friday, November 7, signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, and sent to Legit.ng, Primate Ayodele applauded Tinubu for 'doing well'. However, the outspoken cleric stated that if Tinubu does not seek ways to 'take out nemesis in his government', there will continue to be issues.

US threats: Ayodele warns Tinubu, Nigeria
He also mentioned that the American soldiers are allegedly in Nigeria already, and urged the Tinubu government to seek urgent solutions.
Primate Ayodele said:
“America’s plan to fight terrorism is a means to penetrate Tinubu’s government and weaken his second term. Tinubu must work to remove this. Nobody should pity him. He is doing well, but nemesis is fighting him. He needs to find a divine solution to this nemesis, it’s not by technology.”
“America is already in Nigeria; this government should do something different quickly.”
Furthermore, the prophet recalled how he had warned of an alleged nemesis fighting Tinubu’s government some years back, making it known that his words had finally come to pass. According to him, if President Tinubu fails to remove 'the hands of nemesis' from his government, he might not escape being attacked.
He said:
“Tinubu is reaping what he sowed. Anyone can say anything; the genocide is to fight Tinubu’s government. We have said before that the government will experience problems. In 2023, I said if Tinubu wins, nemesis will fight his government. If he doesn’t remove the problem of nemesis, America will definitely attack his government.”

The New York Times reported that the US Africa Command has drawn up and sent its options to the Department of War this week upon the request of Secretary Pete Hegseth.
