Oke Afa, Lagos state - Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, has raised the alarm over what he described as a coordinated plan to deploy fake polling units and voting booths across Nigeria to compromise the outcome of the 2027 elections.
Ayodele made the claim in a statement released on Sunday, August 23, 2026, signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, and made available to Legit.ng. He warned that unsuspecting voters could easily be misled by these fraudulent setups, which he said would be equipped with some electoral materials to appear legitimate.

Ayodele's warning to INEC
The cleric directed his message squarely at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), urging the body to treat the threat as a matter of urgency before the situation spirals out of control.
"For the upcoming election in Nigeria, I am seeing a lot of fake things regarding the election which the INEC must take seriously. I am seeing fake polling units and booths spread across the country to weaken the votes of some individuals and rig some people out," he said.
He added that public awareness would be critical in tackling the problem, warning that if INEC failed to educate voters and act decisively, the rigging plan would succeed.
"The commission must ensure they take this very seriously because it will have a negative effect on the election. Let the commission work hard in this area and ensure people are well-informed; if not, it will happen successfully," Ayodele said.

Ayodele raises alarm over INEC's 'readiness'
Beyond the issue of fake polling units, Primate Ayodele also expressed concern about what he called a lack of visible readiness from the electoral commission as the 2027 election draws closer.
The Christian leader described the expected presidential contest as unprecedented in its intensity and said INEC's current posture was insufficient for what lies ahead.
"INEC hasn't shown readiness for this coming election. They don't know what is coming, but I want to urge the chairman to put his house in order and deliver a credible election because there will be issues if he doesn't. He will be affected personally. The election will be very tough, unlike the ones we have had in the past," he said.
Ayodele has previously made a series of political prophecies concerning Nigeria's 2027 electoral landscape, including warnings and calls for key political figures to take specific actions ahead of the polls.
Ayodele releases prophecy on Tinubu
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Ayodele issued a strong warning about President Bola Tinubu, claiming that the Nigerian leader is operating under a spiritual spell that is causing him to reject sound advice and push away well-meaning people.
Ayodele alleged that those closest to Tinubu are not acting in his best interest, and that the president's inability to heed good counsel will cost him dearly.
