The Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said he previously issued warnings concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging heightened vigilance around the president to prevent what he described as a significant negative signal.
Ayodele made the remarks during a prophetic session broadcast on the official INRI Facebook page on Friday, January 30, 2026. Speaking to his congregation, the cleric said he had earlier made pronouncements regarding the president and was reiterating his concerns publicly.
“Let me use this medium. You know, here in this church, I told you I said Tinubu will miscalculate his leg and fall,” Ayodele said. He stressed the seriousness he attached to the issue, referencing repeated occurrences. “Now, third time, if Tinubu falls third time, third time if he falls, I am begging all his security agencies, his bodyguards, family, friends,” he stated.
Ayodele appealed for increased protective measures around the president. “Maybe they should look for people that will surround him. So that he will not fall. If he falls third time, the signal will be bad,” he said. He explained that, in his view, the implications would extend beyond a personal incident. “It goes a long way. He can hide his government. I don’t hate Tinubu,” Ayodele said.
The cleric rejected suggestions of personal hostility toward the president. “But when you say the truth or you say the way I say, you say, I don’t know him,” he said. Ayodele added that speaking privately could be misinterpreted. “If I know him, I don’t need to say it openly. But at the same time, if you even write them, they will believe that you are looking for his favor,” he stated.
He commented on how political leaders often perceive criticism. “You know this politicians the way they think. Because they will see you that you are one of the loudest voice. They believe that when you say the truth, you don’t love the government,” he said.
Ayodele again emphasized his appeal. “Don’t allow Tinubu to fall for the third time,” he said. He warned of broader consequences. “He’s falling for the third time, he’s going to cause chaos. I’m begging the family,” Ayodele stated. He specifically mentioned security institutions. “Begging the security agencies, the DSS. This one is more than DSS matter,” he said.
Ayodele insisted the issue required serious attention. “If he falls third time. You know the way I’m saying now. My yoruba is not correct now. But my yoruba will be correct that time,” he said. He repeated his position multiple times. “This is what I’m saying. I don’t want him to fall for the third time. I don’t want him to fall for the third time,” Ayodele said.
He framed the warning as a prophetic duty. “I’m saying this. If Tinubu falls for the third time. If he falls. Maybe he miscalculated his leg. Falls anywhere. The end result will not be good,” he stated. Ayodele concluded with a plea. “Please. I beg. I beg. I’m only saying my own as a prophet,” he said.
He called for spiritual measures and vigilance. “Let’s pray. In fact, this one needs prayers, needs fasting. Needs to be monitored. Especially in any outing. When he was coming down from vehicle. Get more people. He begs Seyi Tinubu, Iyaloja of Lagos and Remi Tinubu to help Tinubu,” Ayodele added.
