Although a longtime member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wike is a strong ally of President Tinubu.
The 58-year-old helped the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain to power in 2023.
Ayodele predicts Wike's jail possibility
Speaking in a video posted on the IESC’s official Facebook page on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, Primate Ayodele pointed out that Wike faces intense backlash and criticism from various political circles, largely stemming from his controversial alignment with and active support of President Tinubu. He predicted that the FCT minister will continue to pitch his tent with Tinubu.
His words:
“Tinubu cannot leave Wike. A lot of politicians hate Wike because of his relationship with Tinubu. In Rivers state, if the APC gives its leadership to anyone else, the party could lose without Wike. APC cannot live without Wike.”
Primate Ayodele added:
“If it is to invoke the devil for Tinubu to win, they will do it. If Tinubu loses this election, Wike will go to jail. Not Wike alone; many governors will go to jail.”
Meanwhile, the cleric did not specify any offence for which Wike might go to jail.
