Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has again prophesised about the 2027 general elections, claiming God revealed to him the two powerful names may emerge as the vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the poll.
Political pundits have projected that ADC presidential ticket may go to Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, who championed the call for the coalition, calling on opposition leaders to come together and defeat President Tinubu in the 2027 elections..
According to the religious leader, Obi and Amaechi have some divine roles to perform in the projected political transformation in the country, particularly in the permutations of the new coalition with the aim of strengthening the ADC in becoming the major opposition force in the country.
Recall that Obi and Amaechi were members of the coalition who were present at the unveiling of the ADC as the coalition party ahead of the 2027 elections. The two politicians have declared interest in contesting the 2027 presidential election.
While Obi was the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Amaechi contested for the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC)’s presidential ticket before the last general elections, but lost to President Bola Tinubu.
Atiku and several opposition leaders, including Obi and Amaechi, have expressed the confidence in sacking Tinubu in the next cycle of election and have been making efforts to position themselve in actualising their ambitions and stopping the APC’s reign in the poll.
However, in a latest video, Ayodele said that God revealed to him some coming waves of political alignment and realignments that will reshape the political landscape in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The cleric’s statement reads in part: “I see new alliances forming, and I see the ADC becoming a major platform of attraction; Either Peter Obi or Rotimi Amaechi will be considered for a vice-presidential role under the party; Nigerians should pray because the coming election will shock many.”
The move to stop President Tinubu in the 2027 election started soon after the last poll. Both Atiku, Obi and Amaechi have declared their interest in joining the next presidential race. While Amaechi has dumped the APC and officially join the ADC, Atiku only resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party and has yet to announce his next platform and Obi was yet to resign from the Labour Party.
