Primate Elijah Ayodele has issued a strong warning to President Bola Tinubu. He said the opposition governors defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) would betray him.
According to the cleric, many of Tinubu’s current allies are secret enemies. He said these individuals are already working against his second-term ambition.
Through a statement released by his media aide, Ayodele revealed that insecurity would be used to derail Tinubu’s future political plans.
Moreover, he alleged that some security operatives and even officials inside the villa were behind the growing insecurity. These forces, he said, aim to destabilize the government from within.
He also urged Tinubu to immediately reduce the soaring prices of food items. Otherwise, the widespread hardship would fuel public anger.
“Insecurity will escalate by October,” Ayodele warned. “If food prices remain high, it will be difficult for him to win back trust.”
He advised Tinubu not to rely on flattery or loyalty when selecting the next APC national chairman. Instead, he should prioritize integrity and competence.
Furthermore, Ayodele warned that choosing the wrong party chairman could destroy the APC ahead of 2027.
He also asked the president to improve internal surveillance. According to him, some individuals are leaking key strategies to the opposition.
“You need to guard your documents. Watch the villa carefully. Even your presidential jet must be secured,” he said.
In addition, Ayodele claimed that several appointees in Tinubu’s government were moles. He said they would work with powerful business allies to frustrate him.
“You’re not seeing it yet, but many around you want to see you fail,” he added.
He warned the president to stop trusting every governor joining the APC. Their real goal, he said, is to infiltrate and dismantle his support base.
Lastly, the cleric urged Tinubu to act swiftly. Delays, he said, would only give his enemies more room to strike.
