Kano, Kano state - Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder and head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Oke Afa, Lagos, has Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 elections, over his choice of running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, warning that it could negatively affect his presidential ambition.

Ayodele warns Obi over Kwankwaso
He alleged that the former Anambra state governor does not heed divine instructions and has “fallen into the wrong hands” politically.
The Nigerian Tribune quoted Primate Ayodele as saying:
“Peter Obi doesn’t listen to divine instructions, and because of this, he has fallen into the wrong hands for his ambition. Kwankwaso isn’t ready to fight for him; he will eventually sell him out, but he doesn’t know it yet.”
According to Ayodele, Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano state, is acting purely out of self-interest and not genuine political commitment to Obi’s ambition.
Primate Ayodele added:
“Kwankwaso is doing everything for his personal interest and nothing more. I wish Obi’s eyes could be opened to what is happening around him, but he can’t see it.”
Ayodele questions Obi’s presidential readiness
Furthermore, the religious figure stated that the Obidient Movement Worldwide leader is not yet mature for the presidential office he is seeking.
He claimed that Kwankwaso’s alleged plans will eventually be exposed, but warned that it may be too late for Obi to adjust his strategy.
