Popular Nigerian prophet and founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has called on the Nigerian government to be careful and watchful of economic hardship in the new year.
He made this warning and others at his End of the Year 2025 Press Conference, where he gave prophecies for Nigeria and the world.
According to the man of God, the government will do its utmost best to stabilize things but the balancing will be very difficult.
“The country will face so many political upheaval that will frustrate the efforts of the government in all fronts. I foresee the government in the process will take a lot of wrong steps. There will be wrong pieces of advice,” he said.
“The Lord revealed to me that the efforts of the President will be frustrated with wrong pieces of advice. These are the words of the Lord,” he added.
Primate Ayodele noted that “The spirit of God says in the year 2026, the President must be watchful for what is tagged political nemesis in the country. He needs fervent prayers in this regard.”
He warned President Bola Tinubu to be wary of several advices from different quarters, noting that Nigeria’s opposition groups will frustrate all his efforts unless he is able to take decisive steps to scuttle and scatter the plans, particularly that of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“I foresee the ADC members are ready to fight in order to wrestle for the political control of the country from the ruling APC. The main obstacle will be if the ADC is fielding a weak candidate. The ADC will want to use all the apparatus at its command to achieve what they want to do in order to achieve victory at the polls.”
On the 2027 polls, he said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would do everything possible to make sure they use the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other things within their powers to secure victory.
“The ADC as a political party must watch carefully the unfolding drama. I foresee that all areas where the ADC can have an upper hand during polls will be blocked.”
The prophet as part of his prophecies also foresaw the crude oil from the Nigeria not being of quality grades expected in the international oil and gas market in the next 20 years from now.
On the tax reforms due to start in the new year, Primate Ayodele said this would cause misconceptions and the government needs to explain.
“I foresee our budget will not be properly implemented. They will use budget to fight inflation and hunger yet Tinubu will still borrow surplus money. People will be frustrated,” he said in the prophecies.
